Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 1 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools we grade
BigMarker is a browser-based platform for marketing webinars that also runs virtual, hybrid and in-person events. It covers landing pages, email invites and reminders, live, simulive, automated (evergreen) and on-demand webinars, pop-up offers, ticket sales and engagement data sent to CRM and marketing automation tools. Live sessions can also be streamed to Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. All plans are priced by quote.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about BigMarker, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It starts with a sales call, then landing pages, emails, integrations and formats to set up.
- 1
Best for B2B marketing webinars and big events
What it costs, though, only sales can tell you: every plan is by quote.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Many webinar formats
Unlimited live, recurring, simulive, evergreen, 24/7 and on-demand webinars, run from BigMarker's browser studio or streamed in over RTMP.
- 4
Landing pages and emails
Registration landing pages from 15 or more templates, embeddable registration, custom fields and UTM codes, and customizable invite and reminder emails.

- 6
A 1.8 GPA, above 1 of 14
That is against the other webinar and live streaming tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace BigMarker you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for B2B marketing webinars and big events
BigMarker runs marketing webinars in every format, live, simulive, evergreen and on demand, plus virtual, hybrid and in-person events, and pushes engagement data into Salesforce, HubSpot or Marketo. It's built for B2B marketing teams. What it costs, though, only sales can tell you: every plan is by quote.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices are published: Basic, Enterprise and Enterprise+ are all sold by quote, so there's nothing to set against GoTo Webinar or Zoom Webinars for a monthly 100-person webinar. No published price is a C by our rule. Ticket sales carry a 5% fee. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free: no free plan, and trials or proofs of concept are arranged through sales. |
| Features | C | Live, recurring, simulive, evergreen and on-demand webinars, landing pages, pop-up offers, CRM sync, social streaming and up to 64 webcams. The gaps: simulive, evergreen, ticketing and breakout rooms start at Enterprise, and Basic has 1 host. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. It starts with a sales call, then landing pages, emails, integrations and formats to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app listed, but native Salesforce, Pardot, HubSpot, Eloqua, Marketo, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact integrations, plus Zapier and an API. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who BigMarker is for
- Great if your B2B marketing team lives on webinar leads and CRM data
- Handy when you run webinars and bigger hybrid events on one platform

Who it is not for

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
1/14
Other webinar and live streaming tools it is graded above
BigMarker's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 1 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools we grade, and level with 2.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 3 of 14) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace BigMarker you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 11 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- One live stream sent to several platforms at once.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo among them, and has an API.
- People on the other end: live sessions. No app builder makes those.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. BigMarker’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
