What are the biggest differences?

GoToWebinar and WebinarJam are both powerful webinar hosting tools. However, there are several important differences.

GDPR compliant?

Since the summer of 2020, working with American software companies, such as GoToWebinar and WebinarJam is no longer GDPR proof. With the new regulations, the privacy shield has been declared invalid. This means that these are not safe partners to communicate information or to have data processed. Make sure your data is processed securely and in the EU.

Download vs. Web-based

GoToWebinar offers a web-based version just like WebinarJam. Still, most of GoToWebinar's functionality runs on the downloadable application. Many webinars that are given with GoToWebinar require viewers to download the application. WebinarJam is completely web-based. Viewers don't need to download or install anything.
