A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For WebinarJam, run a modest live webinar with registration and clear capacity limits. The hard boundary is large-event media, landing pages, reminders, replays, analytics, and support, plus real-time media infrastructure and reliability.

# WebinarJam indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core WebinarJam workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Run a modest live webinar room with registration and clear capacity limits, issue signed room links, and keep recordings only when every participant is clearly informed.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- large-event media, landing pages, reminders, replays, analytics, and support
- global low-latency media network
- dial-in and telephony
- large webinars
- transcription, support, and compliance

If those capabilities are essential, use Jitsi Meet instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for WebinarJam because video products survive because real-time media quality and global reliability are infrastructure businesses, not weekend interface projects. The recurring cost buys TURN capacity, codecs, browsers, packet loss, scaling, recording, consent, abuse, monitoring, and incident response, not just the visible interface.

Vibecode WebinarJam

Not really. WebinarJam's value is not the code: Recheck price before merge. See the honest breakdown above.

How much does WebinarJam cost?

WebinarJam costs about $49/month (Basic, checked 2026-07-31), which is $588 per year.

What do I lose by replacing WebinarJam?

Honestly: large-event media, landing pages, reminders, replays, analytics, and support; global low-latency media network; dial-in and telephony; large webinars; transcription, support, and compliance. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Yes: Jitsi Meet (Widely deployed open-source video-conferencing platform.). Using prior art is also vibecoding; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
