7 Best Webinar Platforms for Course Creators (2026 Guide)

The best webinar platforms for course creators do more than stream video. A webinar is usually the front door to a course, a cohort or a membership, so the deciding question is simple: does the tool carry a viewer from registration to checkout to the first lesson without you stitching five apps together, or does it only run the room? Dedicated webinar tools run a polished room. All-in-one platforms run the room well enough and then handle everything after the replay ends.

Our pick is Coachful, because it keeps the webinar, the sales funnel, the checkout, the course and the cohort community behind one login, and it adds what most course tools skip: structured delivery between lessons with habits, check-ins and per-student progress. We make Coachful, so weigh that, but every other tool below is described from what its vendor documents and what public reviewers report, with prices as listed in October 2026 unless noted.

This guide is built around the journey your students actually take: attract, enroll, deliver, retain. If you are still choosing where the course itself lives, read our best course creation platforms roundup and the online course platform comparison first. This page is only about the webinar layer and how it connects to the rest.

What does a course creator's client journey need from a webinar platform?

It needs four jobs done in order, and most webinar tools only cover the second half of the first one. Mapping your own launch against these stages is the quickest way to see which tool fits.

Attract. A course creator's webinar is a lead magnet with a clock on it. You need a registration page that loads fast, a confirmation email, reminders before the start time, and tracking (pixels and UTM tags) so you know whether the Instagram post or the podcast mention filled the seats. Evergreen creators need a replay or an automated session that runs on a schedule without them. Cohort creators need a live room with chat and the ability to show slides and a face at the same time.

Enroll. The pitch at minute 45 is where the money is. The offer link has to open a checkout that supports how course creators actually price: one-time payments, payment plans, a subscription for a membership tier, an order bump for a workbook or a recorded bonus, and a coupon that expires when the cart closes. If the checkout lives in a different tool from the webinar, you lose attribution and you double your admin.

Deliver. Once someone buys, they need the course immediately: modules, drip schedules, downloads and replays of the live calls. Cohort courses add weekly live sessions, a group space and some form of accountability so students finish. This is where a pure webinar tool hands off to something else, and where completion rates are won or lost.

Retain. Renewals, upsells into a higher-touch program, and alumni communities depend on knowing who is engaged. A creator who can see that a student stopped checking in during week three can send a nudge or a personal message before that student asks for a refund. Retention also means monthly live Q&A calls for members, which are just webinars for people who already paid.

Scope matters too. A course creator running a $97 self-paced course, a $1,500 eight-week cohort and a $49 monthly membership needs all three of those offers sold from the same webinar funnel, and each one delivered differently. Tools that assume every buyer gets the same course break down quickly once you add a cohort or a coaching tier.

Which tool covers which stage? The at-a-glance table

Ranked on: one login for the whole student journey, delivery between live sessions, total stack cost, and setup effort (including a free white-glove build where offered).

How did we choose and rank these seven?

We started from the jobs above and scored each tool on whether it covers a stage natively, partly, or not at all. Then we looked at what it costs to cover all four stages, either inside the tool or by adding the cheapest missing piece. We gave extra weight to delivery between live sessions, because course creators lose most students in the quiet weeks between calls, not during them.

We did not run hands-on tests. Feature claims come from each vendor's own pricing and feature pages, and from what public reviewers report. Demio's figures come from its pricing page, which we read in November 2026. We left out tools whose pricing we could not verify that day; we could not load the pricing pages for Livestorm or WebinarJam, so neither is ranked, and we would rather say that than guess at a number.

Two kinds of tool are deliberately mixed here. Demio is a dedicated webinar room. The other five are all-in-one or community platforms where webinars are one feature among many. If the room itself is your bottleneck (you run webinars for 1,000 people with a co-host and need restreaming), a dedicated tool earns its place. If the room is fine and the handoffs are the problem, an all-in-one platform saves more time.

1. Coachful: one login from webinar registration to course completion

Coachful is a coaching platform built for people who deliver programs, not just content. For a course creator, that means the webinar, the funnel that fills it, the checkout that closes it, the course students receive and the cohort space they meet in all sit behind one login, while students see one branded app.

The webinar layer. Coachful runs group calls and webinars, with built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Google Meet or Teams links if you prefer the room you already know. Video events also live inside the community, so a monthly members' Q&A sits next to the feed where students post wins and questions. Calendar sync is two-way with Google, Apple/iCloud and Outlook, so a launch webinar will not collide with a 1:1 call you sold to a higher-tier student.

Filling the seats. The funnel builder covers booking, application, lead-magnet and checkout funnels, with Meta Pixel, GA4 and UTM tracking. The demo account below shows a webinar funnel alongside a lead magnet funnel and a program launch funnel, which is the shape most course launches take. Email lists, broadcasts and multi-step sequences with triggers, delays, branching and A/B splits handle confirmations, reminders and the replay sequence. If social is your main channel, Instagram automations can reply to a comment containing a keyword with a DM that carries the registration link, and the person lands in the same lead records as your webinar registrants.

Closing the sale. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account: one-time prices, subscriptions for memberships, payment plans for a cohort, order bumps for a workbook, coupons for a cart-close deadline, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and Stripe Tax. Coachful charges a 0% platform fee (since August 2026), so you pay only Stripe or Razorpay processing. There is no PayPal, which matters if a large share of your buyers insist on it.

Delivering the course. Courses have modules, lessons, drip and completion tracking, and 48 course templates with quizzes give you a starting outline. You can also sell downloads, videos, books, events and bundles, all delivered into the student's branded home and app. This is where Coachful differs from a course-only platform: a cohort can be set up as a multi-week program with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits and morning and evening check-ins, and enrolling in the program creates the cohort group automatically.

Keeping students. Each student has a record with goals, check-ins, habits, notes, tags, payments and sessions, plus a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk. That status is the early warning a course creator rarely gets from a webinar tool. Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, works from that live data: she can draft the replay email, summarize a recorded session, or brief you before a cohort call. Questions and planning are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits.

Here is a short walkthrough of how webinars work inside Coachful:

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. On every plan, you can open Create, choose "We'll build it for you", and describe what you want: a webinar or event, the registration funnel, the sales page for the course you pitch at the end, the email sequence, or the course outline and written material. You can attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files such as slides, brand guides and copy. The Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake testimonials, credentials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. It does not include recording your videos, designing a logo or running ads. One recent build gave a real-estate and money coach a year-long cohort program with an application form, an eight-page site and a nine-day bootcamp funnel. Details are in our white-glove service guide.

Price. Plans are flat monthly, with lower plans capping the number of clients and Pro unlimited (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). Monthly plans cancel in one click, and there is a free trial.

Limits to know. Coachful is not a course marketplace, so it will not send you buyers the way a marketplace might. It has no third-party plugins, no PayPal and no permanent free plan. It is not built for 3,000-seat webinars with a production team; if that is your launch, pair it with a dedicated room. The student app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account.

Who it suits. Course creators who run cohorts, memberships or a coaching tier on top of a course, and who want the webinar to feed the program directly. If you sell a self-paced course and nothing else, it still works, but the delivery tools between sessions are where it earns its ranking. See the course platform page and group coaching software for more.

2. Demio: the dedicated room when the webinar itself must be flawless

Demio is a browser-based webinar platform, part of the Banzai family, and it is the only tool on this list built solely to run webinars. Its pricing page lists live webinars and event series, pre-recorded on-demand and automated webinars, chats, polls, featured actions and handouts, engagement analytics, custom form fields, registration source tracking, restreaming, live captions and auto-transcriptions. Some of these are tiered, so check which plan column a feature sits in before you buy.

For a course creator, the appeal is the room. A launch webinar with a co-host, a featured action button that drops the checkout link on screen at the pitch, and handouts for the workbook all work without an attendee downloading anything. Automated webinars let an evergreen course run a "live-feeling" session every day from a recording. Registration source tracking tells you which affiliate or channel filled the seats.

Price, as listed when we checked in November 2026. Starter is $45/mo paid yearly or $63/mo paid monthly, with a single host and a 50-person attendee room. Growth is $117/mo per host paid yearly, with room sizes from 150 to 3,000 attendees (larger rooms cost more); its monthly price was not shown on the page. Premium is $196/mo per host paid yearly and adds a dedicated success manager, custom domains, premium integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot) and up to 10 people on stage. The plan table lists session limits of 3, 8 and 10 hours across the tiers. Zapier is listed as an integration.

Limits for this niche. Demio does not sell your course or deliver it. The checkout, the course, the drip schedule, the community and any record of which buyer finished week two all live somewhere else. A 50-seat Starter room is small for a launch with paid traffic, so most creators selling at scale end up on Growth per host. One host on Starter also means you cannot run two sessions at once, which matters if you run the same evergreen webinar in two time zones.

The practical setup is Demio for the room plus a course platform for everything after. That works, but you will connect them with Zapier or a native integration and keep two sets of contact lists in sync. Read our funnel builders for course creators guide if you go this way, because the registration page often ends up in a third tool.

Pick it over Coachful if the live room is your product: large audiences, multiple presenters, restreaming to social, and detailed engagement analytics matter more to you than having checkout and delivery in the same place.

3. Kajabi: course, community and funnels, with the room added on

Kajabi is a course, community, website, funnel and email platform built for selling knowledge products, and it has long been the default for creators with a large catalogue. A course creator can build the sales page, the email sequence, the course and the community in one account, and take payment through Kajabi Payments.

On webinars specifically, Kajabi's plan list counts products, contacts, communities, websites, admin users and AI credits; a dedicated webinar room with attendee caps is not one of the listed plan features. Many Kajabi creators run the live session on Zoom or a dedicated tool and use Kajabi for the registration page, the replay and the offer. Check Kajabi's current feature pages for live events before you commit, because this is the part of the stack you will be pairing.

Price as listed in October 2026. Basic is $179/mo ($143/mo annual) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community, 1 website, 2 admin users and no AI credits. Growth is $249/mo ($199/mo annual) with 50 products, 25,000 contacts and 500 AI credits. Pro is $499/mo ($399/mo annual) with unlimited products and 100,000 contacts. Kajabi Payments in the US costs 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, falling to 2.7% + $0.30 on Pro. Using another provider (other than PayPal) adds a Kajabi fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Growth or 0.5% on Pro on top of the provider's fees. There is a 14-day trial; some features such as bulk contact import stay locked until a paid plan starts.

Limits for this niche. The 2,500-contact cap on Basic is the trap for webinar-led creators: every registrant becomes a contact, and a few launches can push you to Growth. Five products on Basic also runs out fast once you have a course, a cohort, a membership and a bundle. Delivery is product-and-community shaped, with no habit tracking, daily check-ins or per-student plans, so cohort accountability happens in posts and comments.

Public reviews are mixed; Kajabi showed 3.4 on Trustpilot from 2,347 reviews when last checked. If you are weighing it against community-first tools, our Skool alternatives for course creators guide compares the community side in more depth.

Pick it over Coachful if you sell a large catalogue of self-paced courses and digital products, want a mature marketing suite around them, and are comfortable running your live webinars in a separate room.

4. Systeme.io: the lowest cost entry to evergreen webinar funnels

Systeme.io is a low-cost all-in-one marketing suite: funnels, email, courses, a community, a blog and an affiliate program. Its plan named Webinar adds evergreen webinars, which suits the course creator who records one strong presentation and runs it as an automated funnel that sells a course every day.

That evergreen focus is the honest framing. Systeme.io is strong for the attract and enroll stages of a recorded webinar funnel: registration page, replay page, email follow-up and checkout, with 0% transaction fees on every plan (you pay only Stripe or PayPal processing). For live cohort calls, plan on a separate video tool.

Price as listed in October 2026. Free is $0/mo with 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 course, 500 students and 1 automation rule. Startup is $17/mo with 5,000 contacts, 10 funnels and 5 courses. Webinar is $47/mo with 10,000 contacts, 50 funnels and 20 courses, and adds evergreen webinars. Unlimited is $97/mo with unlimited contacts, funnels, courses and automation rules. The free plan never expires and needs no credit card.

Limits for this niche. There is no native 1:1 scheduling tied to student records, and no habits or check-ins, so a cohort or coaching tier needs extra tools. Community and course features are basic compared with dedicated platforms, and there is no branded mobile app for students. Course creators who start here often outgrow it when they add a premium cohort, but the price makes it a sensible first launch platform.

Public reviewers rate it highly: 4.9 on Trustpilot from 8,696 reviews when last checked. For the email side of an evergreen webinar, see our guide to email marketing platforms for course creators.

Pick it over Coachful if your entire business is one evergreen webinar selling a self-paced course, you want the lowest possible monthly cost, and you have no plans for live cohorts or per-student accountability.

5. Kartra: a marketing suite for creators who live in funnels

Kartra bundles pages, funnels, email and SMS, memberships, calendars and a helpdesk. Course creators who think in launch sequences (opt-in, webinar, cart open, cart close, downsell) tend to like that the pieces share one contact database.

As with Kajabi, Kartra's plan list does not describe a webinar room with attendee limits as a plan feature, so expect to run the live session elsewhere and use Kartra for the pages, emails and SMS reminders around it. The membership area then delivers the course.

Price as listed in October 2026. Essentials is $59/mo ($52/mo annual) with 500 contacts, 5 pages, 1 product, 1 membership or course and 10,000 emails a month, plus a 5% transaction fee. Starter is $119/mo ($99/mo annual) with 2,500 contacts, unlimited pages, products and memberships, unlimited email and SMS, and 0% transaction fees. Growth is $229/mo ($189/mo annual) with 12,500 contacts. Professional is $549/mo ($429/mo annual) with 25,000 contacts. There is a 14-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Limits for this niche. Essentials is not really usable for webinar launches: 500 contacts and one product disappear after a single promotion, and the 5% fee eats into a cohort price. Starter is the realistic entry. Older reviews report no mobile app for students or admins, and funnels and memberships are not portable to other platforms, which makes leaving harder later. There are no habits, check-ins or per-student plans.

Kartra scores 3.2 on Trustpilot from 129 reviews, per our last check. Compare it with other membership platforms for course creators if the membership area is your main delivery method.

Pick it over Coachful if you run aggressive multi-step launch sequences with SMS at every step, need a built-in helpdesk for a large student base, and accept a separate tool for the live room.

6. Circle: where the live events happen inside the community

Circle is a community platform with courses, events, live streams and paid memberships. For a course creator whose product is really the community (a membership with monthly workshops, or an alumni space for past cohorts), Circle puts the live event, the replay and the conversation in the same place.

That is a meaningful strength for the retain stage. A member sees the next live session in the event list, joins from inside the community, and the discussion continues in the space afterwards. For the attract stage, Circle is thinner: it is not a funnel builder, so the public registration page and the email sequence usually come from another tool.

Price as listed in October 2026. Professional is $89/mo billed annually, with 3 admins, 10 moderators and 2,500 AI credits a month. Business is $199/mo billed annually, and Scale is $419/mo billed annually; monthly prices were not shown. Circle Plus is custom-priced. Circle takes a fee on payments of 2% on Professional, 1% on Business and Scale, and 0.5% on Circle Plus, plus Stripe processing. There is a 14-day trial with no card required.

Limits for this niche. There is no 1:1 scheduling or student management back office, and no per-student habits or check-ins. Branded mobile apps are only on custom-priced Circle Plus. The payment fee adds up for a high-ticket cohort: 2% of a $1,500 enrollment is $30 per student before Stripe. For more on community-led delivery, see community platforms for course creators.

Circle shows 4.1 on Trustpilot from 129 reviews as last checked.

Pick it over Coachful if your course is secondary to a large, active community, you want live streams and discussions in one feed, and you already have a funnel and email tool you like.

7. GoHighLevel: agency-grade marketing around a borrowed room

GoHighLevel (HighLevel) is an agency-first marketing CRM: funnels, websites, calendars, SMS and email, invoicing, contracts, courses and communities, organised around sub-accounts. Course creators with a marketing team, or those who also run an agency, use it to automate every reminder and follow-up around a webinar.

For webinars, the key fact is that GoHighLevel has no built-in video rooms. It generates Zoom or Google Meet links, so the live experience depends on whichever of those you pay for. Where it shines is automation: a registrant who did not show up can get an SMS and an email with the replay, then a different sequence than someone who stayed to the pitch.

Price as listed in October 2026. Starter is $97/mo ($80.83/mo annual) with 3 sub-accounts and unlimited users and contacts. Unlimited is $297/mo ($247.50/mo annual) with unlimited sub-accounts. Agency Pro is $497/mo ($414.17/mo annual). There is no HighLevel platform fee on sales, but SMS, email, phone numbers and AI usage are metered and billed separately, at rates shown on separate pricing guides rather than the main pricing page. A 14-day trial starts billing automatically when it ends.

Limits for this niche. Metered usage makes the cost of a webinar launch hard to predict: a large SMS reminder campaign is billed on top of the plan. There is no habit tracking, check-ins or structured program engine, so cohort accountability must be simulated with workflows and forms. Setup is a project in itself, and most solo course creators will not need sub-accounts at all.

Public reviewers rate it 4.9 on Trustpilot from 15,250 reviews as last checked, much of that from agency users.

Pick it over Coachful if you run an agency or a team that markets several brands, need deep SMS and phone automation, and are happy to host the webinar itself on Zoom or Google Meet.

How much does each option cost at 5, 15 and 40 paying students?

The list price only tells part of the story. Webinar-led creators collect far more contacts than paying students, and payment fees scale with revenue. This table shows the lowest plan that covers each stage the tool supports, by number of paying clients or students, using list monthly prices. It does not include Stripe or other processing fees.

An example of how fees change the picture: a creator selling a $1,500 cohort to 15 students takes in $22,500. On Circle Professional, the 2% platform fee is $450 on that launch. On Kajabi Basic with a non-Kajabi processor, the extra 2% is the same $450. On Systeme.io, Kartra Starter and GoHighLevel, the platform fee is zero. Coachful also charges no platform fee on sales.

Should you go all-in-one or assemble a stack? Stack recipes with costs

Course creators usually land on one of five setups. The right one depends on whether your bottleneck is the webinar room or the handoffs around it.

The assembled stacks look cheap on paper until you count what is missing. None of the four assembled recipes gives you per-student habits, check-ins or an at-risk flag, and three of them still need a separate scheduling tool if you sell a 1:1 upgrade from the webinar. Adding a booking tool and a form tool to the Demio and Kajabi stack is how many creators end up running five subscriptions. Our guide to website builders for course creators covers the last missing piece if your site lives elsewhere.

How does a course creator set up a webinar-to-cohort launch in Coachful?

Here is a worked example. A creator teaches a six-week cohort course on building a newsletter business, sells it at the end of a 60-minute live webinar, and keeps graduates in a monthly membership. The figures are illustrative.

1. Request the build. From Create, open "We'll build it for you" and describe the launch: a webinar registration funnel, a sales page for the cohort, a five-email follow-up sequence and the course outline. Attach the slide deck and the old sales page as files. The team builds it in your account, usually within about 24 hours, leaving gaps where testimonials or prices belong.
2. Set up the webinar. Create the event with built-in video, or connect Zoom so the link is created automatically. Sync your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar so the webinar blocks the time.
3. Wire the funnel. Point the registration page at the event, add your Meta Pixel and GA4, and add UTM tags to each promotion link so you can see which channel filled seats.
4. Write the sequences. Confirmation, a day-before reminder, an hour-before reminder, then a branched replay sequence: one path for people who attended, one for no-shows. Michelle can draft these from your outline; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits.
5. Build the offer. With your Stripe Connect account linked, create the cohort price with a one-time option and a three-part payment plan, an order bump for the recorded bonus workshop, and a coupon that expires at cart close.
6. Build the program. Set up a six-week program: one course module released each week by drip, a weekly live call, a weekly goal and a short evening check-in. Enrolment creates the cohort group automatically.
7. Add accountability. Add one habit per week (for example, "write 300 words") so students see a streak and you see who stalls.
8. Run and watch. After the launch, check each student's status. Anyone marked quiet or at risk in week two gets a direct message before week three.
9. Retain. At graduation, offer the monthly membership as a subscription with a monthly live Q&A event in the community.

If you are new to selling courses with live sessions, the guide for new coaches covers the business side, and Coachful's coaching software page lists everything in one place.

How do you migrate your webinars and students without losing a launch?

Move between launches, never during one. The cart-close week is the worst time to discover a broken checkout link.

• Export contacts with tags. Before you cancel anything, export registrants and buyers with their tags and purchase history. Webinar attendance (attended, no-show, watched replay) is worth keeping as a tag.
• Download recordings. Webinar replays often live inside the old platform's storage. Download every recording you use as a replay or a course lesson.
• Check subscriptions first. If membership subscriptions are billed through the old platform's payment system rather than your own Stripe account, ask the vendor how they can be moved, and plan a re-subscribe campaign if they cannot.
• Rebuild, do not copy, the funnel. Funnels are rarely portable (Kartra's are reported not to be). Rebuild the registration page and sequence, and use the move to cut steps that did not convert.
• Use onboarding help. Coachful imports your clients, programs and content for you during onboarding, and the white-glove build can recreate the funnel and sales page.
• Redirect old links. Old replay links in emails and social posts will keep getting clicks. Point them at the new replay page.

What mistakes do course creators make when choosing a webinar platform?

• Choosing for the room and forgetting the replay. Most sales from a webinar happen in the replay window. If the replay page and its email sequence live in another tool, you lose the attendance data that tells you who to follow up with.
• Ignoring contact caps. A single paid campaign can bring in 1,500 registrants. On a plan capped at 2,500 contacts, two launches can force an upgrade you did not budget for.
• Underestimating payment fees. A 2% platform fee looks small until it applies to a high-ticket cohort.
• Treating a cohort like a self-paced course. Cohort students need weekly structure and someone noticing when they stop. A course player alone does not do that.
• Running two webinar tools for different time zones. Check host and simultaneous session limits before you schedule an evergreen webinar in two regions.
• Buying the biggest plan for the first launch. Start on the plan that fits your next launch, then upgrade on evidence.

Which webinar platform should a course creator choose?

Choose Coachful if your webinar sells a cohort, a membership or a coaching tier, and you want registration, checkout, delivery and retention in one place, with student progress you can actually see. It is the best fit for course creators whose results depend on students finishing, and the free white-glove build removes most of the setup work.

Choose Demio if the live room is the product and you are happy to run checkout and delivery elsewhere. Choose Kajabi for a large self-paced catalogue, Systeme.io for the cheapest evergreen funnel, Kartra for SMS-heavy launch sequences, Circle for community-first memberships, and GoHighLevel if you run a marketing team or agency.

If you are unsure, map your last launch against attract, enroll, deliver and retain, and count how many tools it took. Then compare with the Coachful comparison pages or check Coachful's plans. For coaches in a specific niche, our guides on webinar platforms for business coaches and webinar platforms for life coaches go deeper.

Coachful in short: a coaching platform with booking, payments, contracts, programs with habits and check-ins, courses, community, webinars, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant, under one login with one branded client app. It is for coaches and course creators who deliver programs, not just content. It is not HIPAA-certified, has no PayPal, is not a course marketplace and has no permanent free plan. Start with a free trial, then request the free white-glove build.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best webinar platform for course creators?

For course creators who sell cohorts, memberships or coaching tiers from a webinar, Coachful is our pick because the webinar, funnel, checkout, course and community share one login. If you only need a high-end live room for large audiences, Demio is the dedicated option on this list.

Do I need a separate webinar tool if I already have a course platform?

It depends on whether your course platform runs live sessions. Kajabi, Kartra and Systeme.io focus on pages, email, checkout and courses, and many creators run the live session in Zoom or a dedicated tool. Coachful includes group calls and webinars with built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links.

Live or evergreen webinars: which sells courses better?

Neither is better in every case. Live webinars suit cohort launches with a cart-close date; evergreen webinars suit self-paced courses that sell all year. Many creators run live for launches and reuse the best recording as an evergreen funnel.

What is Coachful's free white-glove service?

On every plan, you can ask the Coachful team to build a webinar or event, a funnel, a sales page, an email sequence or a course outline inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. You attach references and files; nothing is invented, and gaps are left for you. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ad management.

How many attendees can I host on a webinar?

Limits vary by tool and plan. Demio's Starter plan lists a 50-person room, with Growth and Premium offering rooms from 150 to 3,000. For very large produced events, a dedicated webinar platform is usually the safer choice.

Can I take payment during the webinar?

You can drop a checkout link at the pitch in any of these tools. The difference is where the checkout lives. In Coachful, Kajabi, Kartra, Systeme.io and GoHighLevel the checkout sits in the same account as the registration page; with Demio it links out to another tool.

Which tool is cheapest for a first webinar launch?

Systeme.io has a free plan and adds evergreen webinars on its $47/mo Webinar plan, as listed in October 2026. Remember to count every tool you would add for live calls, scheduling and community before comparing totals.

Does Coachful support PayPal for course sales?

No. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account, with Apple Pay and Google Pay, payment plans, subscriptions, order bumps and coupons. There is no Coachful platform fee on sales; you pay only processing.

Can students access the course on their phone?

In Coachful, students use one branded app with your branding inside the Coachful app listing. Circle offers branded apps on its custom-priced Circle Plus plan, and older reviews report no student mobile app for Kartra.

How do I keep cohort students engaged after the webinar sale?

Give them weekly structure: a goal, one habit and a short check-in, plus a live call. Then watch who goes quiet and message them early. Coachful shows each student's status as thriving, active, quiet or at risk so you know who needs a nudge.
