You set up rooms, registration and AutoPilot recordings yourself.

The report card
Best for automated replay webinars in a browser
Webinato is a browser webinar service whose main feature is AutoPilot, which records a webinar and replays it on a schedule. It's $170 a month for 100 people with no free trial, and the site's newest posts date from 2017.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | S is $170 a month for 100 participants, well above the $49 middle for webinar tools, with the Q&A and survey modules an add-on from $49. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial. The 30-day money-back guarantee is not a trial. |
| Features | C | AutoPilot replays, branded rooms, polling, chat, registration and reports. Q&A, survey and Presentation Manager sit in a paid add-on. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up rooms, registration and AutoPilot recordings yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with an attendee mobile app and no integrations on record. |
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 Webinato is for
- Fits if you want a recorded webinar replayed on a schedule
- Makes sense if you run month-to-month and want no long contract
Who it is not for
- Pricey for small audiences, as 100 people costs $170 a month
- Skip it if you want a free trial, since there is none
- Tight if you need Q&A or surveys, because they are part of the OPTiMA add-on from $49
- Watch out: the listed prices are for new customers, and the site looks unmaintained since 2017
Good to know
Good for
- Marketing teams that want pre-recorded webinars running on a schedule
- Trainers who need polls, Q&A and replay in one room
- Teams that prefer paying month to month
Worth knowing
- The vendor does not offer a free trial; it gives a 30-day money-back guarantee to first-time subscribers, not on one-time events.
- Listed prices are promotional, for new customers only. Cobrowser, Survey, Q&A and Presentation Manager modules are the OPTiMA add-on, from $49 a month.
- Plans include 60 hours of webinar usage a month. A Premium Unlimited level and one-time event pricing are sold separately.
- The site's newest posts date from 2017 and it asks buyers to book a demo, so confirm the product and prices with the vendor.

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 Webinato 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: 58 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. It costs $2,040 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Webinato’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.
