A paid webinar platform with tickets, Q&A and replays
To run a paid webinar you need a ticket page with checkout, a live room, a way to take questions, reminders, a recording and payouts. Masterclass.tv puts all of that behind one event link, so a viewer pays, joins, asks and rewatches in one place, and you keep 75 percent of every ticket.
PAID WEBINAR
What a paid webinar needs
A page that sells
Outcome, date in the viewer's time zone, price, seats left and a checkout that works on a phone.
Access only for buyers
A room that lets in ticket holders, not anyone who finds a shared meeting link.
Reminders
Emails 24 hours and 15 minutes before the start, so paying viewers actually show up.
Questions that scale
An upvoted queue instead of a chat that scrolls away, so you answer what most people want.
A replay buyers keep
The recording lands on the same page, and on Pro and Studio you can sell it to new buyers.
Payouts
Ticket revenue goes to your own connected payout account after the session.
One platform vs a stack of separate tools
The common setup for a paid webinar joins four tools: a video meeting tool, a ticketing page, an email tool and a recording host. Here is how the two approaches compare.
| Masterclass.tv | Stitched tools | |
|---|---|---|
| Links a buyer handles | One event link | Ticket page, confirmation email, meeting link, recording link |
| Access control | Only ticket holders enter the room | A meeting link that can be forwarded |
| Reminders | Built in, 24 hours and 15 minutes before | Set up by hand in the email tool |
| Q&A | Upvoted queue, answered on air, kept on the replay page | Meeting chat, gone after the call |
| Replay | On the same page, sellable after the session (Pro, Studio) | Download, upload elsewhere, send links |
| Certificates | Issued automatically with a verification page | Made by hand, if at all |
| Discovery | Listed in the live schedule where viewers browse | Only your own audience |
| Cost | 25 percent of ticket sales, plan fee optional | Four subscriptions plus ticketing fees |
Stitched tools give you more control over each piece. If you already run a large webinar stack and only need a ticket page, it can be the cheaper route. If you want viewers to pay, join and rewatch without friction, one link wins.
