Three steps from upload to revenue

Most setups take under an afternoon. No webinar consultant required.

Step 1

Upload your video once

Drop an MP4 into your Bunny Stream library. Webinar1 handles transcoding, signed playback, and the no-scrub player automatically.

Step 2

Configure the funnel

Set your just-in-time slot cadence, seed the live-feel chat, write your CTA, and pick when it reveals. Six email templates ship preconfigured.

Step 3

Send traffic, sell on autopilot

Share the /w/your-slug link. Registrants get scheduled into the next slot, receive automated reminders, and watch in a room that feels live.

Everything an evergreen funnel needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Feature parity with the $297/mo platforms — minus the per-attendee taxes, sales calls, and 12-month contracts.

Just-in-time scheduling

Visitors register and get the next available slot — 15 min from now, rounded to the next 30. Sells in every timezone, sleeps when you do.

No-scrub player

Custom HLS player with seek-back-snap, blocked keyboard shortcuts, and a locked playback rate. Keeps the live illusion intact.

Live-feel chat

Pre-time chat messages on the video timeline. Audience sees the same conversation they'd see in a live room — without you typing.

Automated email sequence

Confirmation, 24h reminder, 1h reminder, starting-now, replay link, no-show follow-up. Six React Email templates, all yours to edit.

Built-in analytics

Registrations, attendance, max-watch %, CTA clicks. Per-webinar registrant table with CSV export. No third-party tracker needed.

Your branding, your domain

Set business name, logo, primary color, from-address. Webinar1 stays out of the way — your brand is the only one your audience sees.

Bot-protected registration

Cloudflare Turnstile + IP rate limiting + suppression list. Resend bounce/complaint webhooks keep your sender reputation clean.

You own the data

Registrants, watch metrics, and email events live in your Firestore. No vendor lock-in. Export anytime.

Deploys in 15 minutes

Vercel for the app, Firebase for auth + database + scheduled jobs, Bunny for video, Resend for email. All free or near-free tiers.

Built for solos who’d rather ship than rent

Cancelled my $192/mo StealthSeminar subscription the day I deployed Webinar1. The JIT scheduling and chat sim are functionally identical for my course launch funnel.
Mara K.
Course creator
I'd been quoted $4,200/yr to migrate my evergreen webinar to a 'professional' platform. Set this up in an afternoon. Same conversion rate, my data, my domain.
James O.
Productivity coach
The no-scrub player + seeded chat is the bit nobody else on the indie side ships. Everything else I could've built. The fact that this exists is wild.

The math

What a typical course creator pays for one evergreen funnel, year over year.

$497/yr
StealthSeminar
$2,304/yr
eWebinar (growth)

Real costs depend on traffic. For a typical creator running ~100 registrations/month, total infra is under $5/mo — versus $97 to $297/mo on a competitor.

One price. Forever. $0/mo.

Webinar1 is the app. You self-host it. You pay your infra providers (cents to a few dollars). That’s the whole pricing page.
