Q: What plan do I need for evergreen webinars in Systeme.io?

The Webinar plan (47 dollars per month monthly, or 39 dollars per month billed annually) unlocks up to 10 simultaneous evergreen webinars. The Free and Startup plans do not include evergreen webinars at all -- it is a hard feature gate, not a soft limit. The Unlimited plan (97 dollars per month) removes the 10-webinar cap entirely.

Short answer: evergreen webinars are a hard feature gate in Systeme.io, not a quota you can bump into on a cheaper plan. You need the Webinar plan (47 dollars per month monthly, 39 dollars per month billed annually) to unlock up to 10 simultaneous evergreen webinars, or Unlimited (97 dollars per month) for no cap. Free and Startup do not include the feature at all, regardless of contact count. Once unlocked, setup takes under an hour: registration page, pre-recorded video, a scheduled start-time illusion, and an offer page at the end.

What evergreen webinar actually means here

Systeme.io webinar feature is automated and pre-recorded only -- it plays a recorded video on a loop of scheduled start times to create the impression of a live event, such as a starting-in-4-minutes countdown with chat-style comments that replay. There is no native live-hosting with real interactive chat, polls, or Q&A. If you need a genuinely live interactive session, you host it on Zoom or Google Meet and just use Systeme.io for the registration and follow-up funnel around it.

Which plan you need, verified against systeme.io/pricing, Sep 2026

Free, 0 dollars: 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels -- no webinar feature, at any contact count.
Startup, 17 dollars per month: 5,000 contacts, unlimited funnels, 5 courses -- still no webinar feature.
Webinar, 47 dollars per month, 39 dollars per month annual: 10,000 contacts, up to 10 evergreen webinars, 100 automation rules. This is the plan that unlocks the feature.
Unlimited, 97 dollars per month, about 81 dollars per month annual: unlimited contacts, unlimited evergreen webinars, unlimited everything else.

The jump from Startup to Webinar is 30 dollars per month for the webinar feature plus 5,000 more contacts. There is no way to add just webinars to a cheaper plan -- it is bundled with the contact-tier upgrade.

Step-by-step setup

1. Upgrade to the Webinar plan

Account, then Plan, then switch to Webinar. The change applies immediately -- you do not wait for a billing cycle to start building.

2. Create the funnel

Sales Funnels, then Create, then choose Run an evergreen webinar as the funnel type. This option only appears once you are on Webinar or Unlimited -- if you do not see it, your plan has not upgraded yet. Name it something you will recognize later, not Funnel 1.

3. Build the registration page

This is a normal squeeze page: headline, short description of what the webinar covers, name and email capture form. Keep it short -- the webinar pitch itself does the selling, the registration page only job is getting the email.

4. Upload the recorded webinar video

You need a pre-recorded video before you build this step -- Systeme.io does not record it for you. Upload it, then configure the scheduled session times, for example every 2 hours or fixed daily times, that visitors pick from on the registration confirmation page.

5. Configure the replay page, the actual webinar room

This page plays your video with a countdown-to-start illusion, simulated chat messages you can pre-write, and timed CTA pop-ups that appear at whatever timestamp you set, for example a special-price-ends-in-10-minutes message appearing at the 40-minute mark.

6. Add the offer

Sales page with the offer, checkout via Stripe or PayPal, 0 percent Systeme.io transaction fee on every plan, standard processor fees still apply, optional order bump and upsell/downsell sequence after purchase.

7. Wire follow-up email sequences

Registered-but-did-not-attend and attended-but-did-not-buy are two different email sequences you should build separately -- Systeme.io tag-based automation lets you branch on watched-replay versus registered-only if you tag on those trigger events.

Common failure points

Building the funnel before upgrading the plan. The Run an evergreen webinar funnel type is invisible on Free and Startup -- if you do not see it, check your plan first before assuming something is broken.
No pre-recorded video ready. This is the single biggest bottleneck -- decide and record your webinar content before touching the funnel builder, not after.
Treating the simulated chat as optional polish. Pre-written chat comments that appear at realistic intervals are what makes an evergreen webinar feel live instead of obviously canned. Skipping this is the fastest way to get is-this-even-live comments that kill trust mid-pitch.
Only building one follow-up sequence. Attendees and no-shows need different messaging -- a no-show needs a replay link, an attendee who did not buy needs an objection-handling sequence, not the same generic reminder email.

The tools used

Everything in this guide runs on Systeme.io Webinar plan, 47 dollars per month, 39 dollars per month annual -- funnel builder, evergreen webinar hosting, email automation, and checkout in one dashboard. No separate EverWebinar or WebinarJam subscription, 40 to 80 dollars per month on their own, needed on top.

FAQ

What plan do I need for evergreen webinars in Systeme.io?

The Webinar plan, 47 dollars per month monthly, or 39 dollars per month billed annually, unlocks up to 10 simultaneous evergreen webinars. The Free and Startup plans do not include evergreen webinars at all -- it is a hard feature gate, not a soft limit. The Unlimited plan, 97 dollars per month, removes the 10-webinar cap entirely.

Does Systeme.io support live webinars with chat and Q&A?

No. Systeme.io webinar feature is evergreen, automated and pre-recorded only -- it replays a recorded video on a schedule to create the impression of a live event. For interactive live webinars with real-time chat or polls you still need Zoom, Google Meet, or a dedicated tool and would just link out to it from a Systeme.io registration page.

How does the cost compare to a dedicated webinar tool?

EverWebinar and WebinarJam typically run 40 to 80 dollars per month on their own, and neither includes the funnel builder, email marketing, or affiliate tracking Systeme.io bundles in. If you already need Systeme.io for funnels and email, the Webinar plan marginal cost over Startup is 30 dollars per month, 17 to 47, for the webinar feature plus 5,000 more contacts -- cheaper than stacking a separate webinar tool on top of any other funnel builder.
