edudip

edudip is webinar software made by edudip GmbH, a company in Aachen, Germany, for trainers, coaches, companies and educational institutions that run live online sessions. It belongs with the live and cohort tools in this directory: the product is the webinar room plus everything around it, from the registration form and reminders to payment, invoicing and the follow-up after the session. The homepage sums it up in three short lines, "Ein System. Ein Flow. Professionelle Webinare." (one system, one flow, professional webinars), and describes itself as webinar software for planning, delivery and participant management in one place.

The site is written in German. Its pitch to people who sell training is about ending the tool juggling that comes with paid live sessions. The company's guide to selling webinars describes the usual setup: a webinar tool for the session, a separate shop or payment service for the money, an accounting tool for invoices and yet another tool for participant e-mails, each configured and connected by hand. Data gets typed in twice, payments and cancellations are checked manually and invoices are written separately. edudip's answer is to put those steps into one system.

Planning and running a webinar

The homepage splits the product into four stages. Under planning ("Souverän planen"), organizers design the first contact, the content and the flow of the event in their own brand look. Under participant management ("Teilnehmer managen"), registrations, reminders, participant data and communication are handled centrally. The live stage ("Live begeistern") promises professional webinars run "live, interaktiv und sicher" (live, interactive and secure). The last stage ("Wirkung steigern") covers what comes after: sharing materials, using the participant data and making each webinar the groundwork for the next one.

Registration is one of the points the company stresses most. The feature list calls it "Einfachster Anmeldeprozess" (the simplest registration process), with quick access to the event for organizer and participants through a simple sign-up form. The customers quoted on the homepage come back to it as well. The head of training at Interhyp AG writes "Wir schätzen die einfachen Anmeldeprozesse für unsere Kunden sehr!" (we really value the simple registration processes for our customers).

Inside the live session, the company blog describes the interaction tools trainers work with. Breakout rooms split participants into small groups, which the company recommends for large audiences as well as small ones so that people can work through a topic together. The chat gets its own article on using it creatively in an online seminar, and a series of posts covers energizers and didactic exercises that keep participants active instead of passively listening. The blog also introduces Eddi, presented as a personal didactics assistant that gives trainers real-time support in running livelier online trainings.

Recent updates announced on the blog fill in more of the product. A new dashboard is described as a more modern, faster and easier interface that will fully replace the old one over time. Webinar templates save the title, settings, permissions and branding, so a recurring format no longer has to be set up from scratch each time. A spring update added functions meant to make life easier for organizers, give moderators more control and make it more pleasant for participants to get into the webinar.

For teams that want to connect edudip to their own systems, the company offers an API. Its description is that the API lets you integrate edudip's functions into your own systems, which cuts administrative work and frees up resources. The blog also has a guide to webhooks as a way to automate workflows between tools.

Selling paid webinars and trainings

This is the part a course creator will care about. With the feature edudip calls "Bezahlte Webinare/ Monetarisierung" (paid webinars and monetization), trainers can charge for webinars, trainings and live online courses. The homepage describes the flow in one sentence: "Teilnehmende buchen und bezahlen direkt über edudip, während Rechnungen automatisch erstellt und versendet werden" (participants book and pay directly through edudip, while invoices are created and sent automatically), "ganz ohne externe Tools" (with no external tools at all).

The section for online trainers frames the offer as earning money with your expertise "ohne Tool-Chaos" (without tool chaos): selling trainings without detours or organizational stress, with smooth booking, automated invoicing and a professional look. The company's guide to selling paid webinars lists what a seller should look for, and the list reads as a description of edudip itself: payments and invoices that run without manual steps, GDPR-compliant handling of participant lists and payment data, simple planning and hosting, branding in the seller's own logo and colors rather than the platform's, and a fair cost structure that protects the seller's margin. The guide's FAQ states that edudip combines webinar software with payment processing and participant management for online courses and webinars.

The emphasis throughout is on live delivery. The pages present paid webinars and live trainings, not a self-paced course builder with lessons, quizzes or certificates.

For marketing, sales and training teams

Beyond individual trainers, the homepage addresses two kinds of organization. For marketing and sales, it promises to turn webinars into brand impact and pipeline: a consistent, confident appearance, participation and follow-ups made easy, and attention turned into appointments, practical value and loyalty. For L&D teams and training providers, the pitch is online trainings that run by themselves ("zum Selbstläufer"), set up so they work simply and make a difference for every team.

The customers quoted on the homepage show the range: a channel marketing manager at Condor Flugdienst GmbH, the program lead at VHS Aachen, the head of training at Interhyp AG, a seminar speaker at Gebr. kemper GmbH + Co. KG, a team lead for continuing education project management at MedTriX and the head of FOCUS online Earth, Finance & Health. The company says businesses, educational institutions and event organizers have relied on edudip for years.

Pilot webinar, services and support

edudip's main offer for new customers is a free pilot webinar ("kostenloses Pilot-Webinar"). The company plans the customer's own webinar together with them under real conditions, "inklusive Setup, Branding, Technikcheck und persönlicher Live-Begleitung" (including setup, branding, a technical check and personal live support). It is described as free, non-binding and ready to start within a short time, so a team sees how its webinars would run on edudip without risk, without a switching project and without extra work for its staff. The process has three steps: setup and branding, onboarding, and going live. A blog post explains the thinking: many companies postpone starting webinars or changing tools because they fear the effort, technical problems or a disappointing result, and a pilot lets them run a real webinar with their own audience while the vendor supports them. The head of FOCUS online Earth, Finance & Health says the pilot "war für uns eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, schnell ein neues Format live zu bringen" (was an excellent way for us to bring a new format live quickly).

Three services sit on top of the software. Technical webinar support (VIP support) is for presenters who are well prepared but worried about the technology. The full-service webinar means the edudip team accompanies the customer step by step through preparation, delivery and follow-up. The webinar room branding option lets the customer dress the room in its corporate design for a more professional appearance and stronger brand presence. MedTriX's team lead writes that they have used the technical support for almost two years for all their hybrid and online events.

For everyday help the site points to a help center, a status page, a changelog and a page for feature requests, plus a contact form and appointment booking for a personal demo. The Condor testimonial praises the help desk: "Den Helpdesk habe ich anfangs drei- oder viermal kontaktiert, da wurde mir immer kompetent und zügig weitergeholfen" (I contacted the help desk three or four times at the start and was always helped competently and quickly).

Data protection

"Software made in Germany" is one of the headline features. The homepage states: "Alle personenbezogenen Daten werden ausschließlich auf deutschen Servern gespeichert und unterliegen somit dem europäischen Datenschutz (DSGVO-konform)" (all personal data is stored exclusively on German servers and is therefore subject to European data protection, GDPR-compliant). The site has separate pages on security and GDPR and on end-to-end encryption, and offers a data processing agreement (AV-Vertrag). A blog post covers Germany's accessibility law (BFSG) and how edudip is putting its requirements into practice.

Plans and getting started

The main button on the site reads "KOSTENLOS LOSLEGEN" (get started for free), and the blog invites readers to start with edudip Free: "Alle Premium-Funktionen. Keine Kreditkarte, kein Abo" (all premium functions, no credit card, no subscription). Companies can also request a demo or the free pilot webinar. The site links to a pricing page, but no plan prices, and no limits for edudip Free, appear on the homepage or the blog.

Who it suits

edudip suits trainers and coaches who sell live online trainings and want booking, payment and invoices handled in the same system as the webinar room. It also fits companies whose L&D, marketing or sales teams run regular webinars and care about personal data stored on German servers, and organizations wary of switching tools, since the free pilot lets them test with a real audience and edudip staff at their side. The site and its support material are in German. Creators who want a self-paced course builder with lessons, quizzes and certificates should look at it as the live layer rather than the whole school; edudip's strength is the live session and the admin around it.
