VS.
Which platform is the best?
Take a look at this side by side comparison and see for yourself.
At EasyWebinar, we understand that picking a webinar platform for your business is a big decision and not one you should take lightly. When picking a webinar platform, you want to make sure to choose one that is easy to use, powerful, has all the features you need, and doesn’t make you jump through hoops to stay in your zone of genius! Enter the EasyWebinar vs Zoom comparison. Zoom is a robust virtual meeting software, but are they right for webinars? Take a look at what both platforms have to offer to determine which is right for you.
Free Trial
At EasyWebinar, we’re focused on making the webinar experience EASY! Right from the start we remove any barriers between you and getting started with a free 7-day trial. With just 3 clicks you can be on your way to setting up your first event or even going live.
In lieu of a free trial, Zoom offers a free basic account - however, this is for virtual meetings, not webinars. In order to test Zoom’s webinar software, you must upgrade to a Pro account and add on the additional webinar feature.
Power Webinars
At EasyWebinar, we obsess over automated webinars, as they allow you to scale your business without doing more work. But our obsession doesn't end there, we take it one step further by offering Power Webinars. Power Webinars allow you to personalize and customize your automated webinars so they are relevant to your audience and motivates them to take action now!
Zoom does not offer automated webinars. Your recorded webinar can be viewed after your live event is over through their on-demand option, but they’re lacking all the features that make automated webinars a game-changer for growing your business.

Detailed Reporting
Zoom does offer some reporting for their webinar feature; however, since they are primarily focused on live meetings, they do not offer the level of detailed reporting that EasyWebinar does.
Both programs allow you to track who registered for your event, but EasyWebianr takes you many steps deeper showing you who actually showed up, how much of the webinar they watched, if they clicked on your offer, if they watched your replay and so much more.
Marketing, Sales & Business Integrations
Both EasyWebinar and Zoom offer marketing, sales, business, and other API integrations. Both programs integrate with Zapier, which opens a whole world of possibilities to customize your business needs. Clearly, we both recognize how dynamic your business is and how crucial it is to have all your programs work together.
Side By Side Comparison
At EasyWebinar, we like Zoom for small team meetings, but webinars have a different purpose and therefore require different features that allow you to engage with your audience, increase your sales, and grow your business.

Zoom simply does not offer the features that allow you to grow your business with less hassle and less time. EasyWebinar makes it easy for you to build better relationships and more sales through live, automated, and power webinars.
Conclusion
Zoom is a great program for team meeting collaboration, but when it comes to webinars they just do not offer the features that allow you to start, grow, or scale your business.
It’s clear that EasyWebinar offers a more robust overall experience with tools available for all stages of business and purposefully designed to help you grow! With more features, more integrations, and more automation options, EasyWebinar empowers you to create more sales and build better relationships.
Finally, costs associated with each platform is a consideration. At EasyWebinar, our Free Trial allows you to experience all the features and benefits of our program and our base package includes both Live and Automated Webinars. In comparing our most popular Pro package, Zoom costs more per month and offers far fewer features. When you compare apples to apples function, and features, EasyWebinar is by far the best value.
Choose EasyWebinar and grow your business with a partner who can support you at every stage.
