ClickFunnels Alternatives: Best Alternatives to ClickFunnels and Competitors, Pricing Compared

Best ClickFunnels alternatives in 2026, compared

Every price below was read off the vendor's own pricing page in August 2026. Where a vendor stopped publishing a figure, or where a widely repeated third-party number disagrees with what the vendor actually shows, we say so instead of copying what everyone else copied.

The number nobody puts in the comparison table

Several of the platforms marketed as cheaper alternatives get to be cheaper by charging a lower monthly fee and taking a slice of everything you sell. Both models are legitimate. They just cross over at a specific revenue number, and that number is small enough to matter.

Here is where each cheaper plan stops being cheaper. These assume you use each platform's own payment processor, which is the like-for-like case; keeping your own Stripe changes the numbers and is covered in the next section.

Read the last two rows again if you already sell on Kajabi. Because each Kajabi tier cuts the percentage it takes, the expensive plan is genuinely the cheap plan above a certain revenue, which is the opposite of how software pricing normally behaves. Past roughly $7,000 a month in sales through an outside processor, staying on Basic to save $70 costs you money. We work through the full ladder in the Kajabi pricing breakdown.

The Kartra rows matter for a different reason. Essentials caps you at one product and five pages, so almost nobody stays on it by choice, and the 5 percent fee means it stops being the cheaper option at about $1,200 a month in sales anyway. Treat $119 as Kartra's real price.

What each one charges for keeping your own Stripe

This is the fee that catches people, because it is not a plan feature and it is not on most comparison tables. Several of these platforms would prefer you use their in-house payment processing, and they price that preference in.

The ClickFunnels row deserves a caveat in both directions. Its pricing page answers the revenue-share question with "No. You'll keep every penny you make," and publishes no transaction fee anywhere. Independent reviewers writing in 2026 consistently report a 1 percent gateway surcharge when you connect your own Stripe, and that recurring subscription billing has to run through the native processor. We are labelling that reported rather than verified, because we could not confirm it at source, and you should ask ClickFunnels directly before budgeting a subscription business around it.

Kajabi is the opposite case: the surcharge is published plainly on its own pricing page, tier by tier. That transparency is worth something even though the fee is the largest here. Systeme.io and GoHighLevel take nothing either way, and Systeme.io doing it on a genuinely free plan is the surprising one.

Systeme.io: the only free plan worth taking seriously

Systeme.io has a free forever tier with 2,000 contacts, 3 sales funnels, 1 course, unlimited email sends, and 1 custom domain, and it does not ask for a card. Startup is $17 a month with 5,000 contacts and unlimited funnels, Webinar is $47 with 10,000 contacts and automated webinars, and Unlimited is $97 with unlimited contacts, sub-accounts, and free migration. Annual billing gives you two months free. Transaction fees are zero on every tier, including the free one.

The honest caveat: the editor is plainer than ClickFunnels', the templates look their price, and the support experience is thinner. If you are selling a $2,000 program where the page has to look expensive, that gap is real. If you are validating an offer, or you already know your buyers came from a referral rather than the design, Systeme.io does the whole job for less than a month of ClickFunnels costs a year.

Kartra: the closest like-for-like swap

Kartra is the alternative that most resembles what ClickFunnels does. Essentials is $59 a month ($52 annual) with 500 contacts, 5 pages, 1 product, 1 course, 10,000 emails a month, one custom domain, no team members, and a 5 percent transaction fee. Starter is $119 ($99 annual) with 2,500 contacts, unlimited pages, products and courses, unlimited email and SMS, 5 team members, and no transaction fee. Growth is $229 ($189) at 12,500 contacts with 10 members and 3 domains. Professional is $549 ($429) at 25,000 contacts and 5 domains. There is a 14-day trial, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and no free plan.

Treat $119 as Kartra's real entry price. Essentials caps you at one product and five pages, which is not a business, and the 5 percent fee is the actual cost of staying there. At $119 against ClickFunnels Scale at $197 you get memberships and courses built in, which ClickFunnels charges separately for, and you give up the checkout sophistication and the affiliate center.

Kajabi: strong product, opaque entry price

Kajabi is where established course creators end up, and its August 2026 pricing page is worth reading carefully. Basic is $179 a month ($143 annual) with 5 products and 2 admin users. Growth is $249 ($199) with 50 products and 11 admins. Pro is $499 ($399) with unlimited products and 26 admins. Funnels are unlimited on every tier and the free trial runs 30 days, the longest in this comparison.

Two things to flag rather than repeat. First, the Starter tier appears in the vendor's own feature table with 1 product, 2 admin users, and a 5 percent outside-processor fee, but no price is displayed next to it. Third-party sites report $89 a month, or $71 annual, and that figure may well be right, but we could not confirm it at source and are labelling it reported rather than verified. Second, Kajabi restructured its pricing in January 2026 for the first time in nearly a decade and introduced the surcharge on outside payment processors at the same time. Any roundup still quoting pre-2026 Kajabi numbers has not rechecked them.

Using Kajabi Payments avoids the surcharge entirely: 2.9 percent plus 30 cents on Basic, dropping to 2.7 percent on Pro, which is ordinary card processing rather than a platform cut. The surcharge is the price of keeping your own Stripe account.

GoHighLevel: the agency answer, not the seller answer

GoHighLevel is $97 Starter with 3 sub-accounts, $297 Unlimited with unlimited sub-accounts and basic API access, and $497 Agency Pro with SaaS mode for reselling under your own brand. Contacts and users are unlimited on every tier, annual is ten months for twelve, and there is no free plan.

It is the wrong purchase for one business selling one product, and the right purchase for anyone managing pages and CRMs for many clients. The two do not really compete: ClickFunnels meters contacts and has no sub-accounts, so an agency with twenty clients needs twenty subscriptions, while GoHighLevel meters sub-accounts and does not care how big any one list gets. The full head-to-head is in GoHighLevel vs ClickFunnels, the tier detail in the GoHighLevel pricing guide, and the wider agency-platform field on the GoHighLevel alternatives roundup.

One cost to budget separately: SMS, email, phone, and AI usage are billed on top of every GoHighLevel tier, and the HIPAA add-on is $297 a month on its own. The subscription is a floor, not a total.

When you only ever wanted the page

A large share of people shopping for a ClickFunnels alternative do not need a funnel platform at all. They need one good page with a form on it, and they are about to buy a CRM, an email service, a checkout, an affiliate center, and a course platform to get it.

Leadpages starts at $10 a month on HTML Pub (5 pages, 1 domain), $29 Pro (25 pages), and $49 Business (50 pages), with the full Leadpages tiers at $99 Grow, $199 Optimize, and $399 Scale. Its structural advantage is that every tier carries unlimited traffic, making it the only mainstream builder here that does not raise your bill when a campaign works. A/B testing starts at $99.

Unbounce runs $29 Starter, $99 Build, $149 Experiment, and $249 Optimize, with a 14-day trial that needs no card. Unlimited A/B testing starts at $149 and Smart Traffic at $249, so budget from $149 rather than $29. Note that a "visitor" includes popup and sticky-bar views, so a sitewide bar meters your whole site.

Landingi is the cheapest genuine builder at $24 a month for 2,000 visits and 10 pages, with server-side A/B testing starting at $119 Optimize. Several roundups claim Landingi offers $29 pricing and a free 500-visit plan; that did not match the vendor page when we checked, so treat it with caution.

Why ClickFunnels is expensive, and when it is worth it

ClickFunnels is expensive because it is six products in a trench coat: pages, checkout, order bumps and upsells, email, courses, and an affiliate center. If you use four of those, $197 a month is competitive with buying them separately. If you use one, you are paying a bundle price for a page builder, which is the single most common reason people go looking for alternatives.

Where it genuinely earns the money is checkout. Order bumps, one-click upsells, and the affiliate center are more developed than anything else on this page, and a working upsell path routinely moves average order value more than any page change will. If you sell a product with a multi-step checkout, expect to give something up in a move, and price that against the saving.

The gate to watch is API access and webhooks, which start at Scale. If ClickFunnels needs to talk to anything else in your stack, and eventually it will, your price is $197 rather than $97. Every limit is broken down in the ClickFunnels pricing guide, and the direct comparison against us is on the ClickFunnels alternative page.

What none of these platforms will tell you

Every tool on this page gives you a canvas, templates, and hosting. Not one of them reads the page you published and tells you the headline describes your product instead of the buyer's outcome, that the CTA falls below the fold on a phone, that the form asks for seven fields when three would do, or that the largest element takes 4.2 seconds to render. You still have to know what to change, and the builder is silent on it.

Converto runs the other direction. Paste a live URL, including a ClickFunnels page you already built, and it scores the copy, layout, CTAs, page speed, and AI-readability, then generates ready-to-ship variants for the headline, CTA, and body copy that you paste back into whatever you use. No snippet, no traffic threshold, no rebuild, self-serve from $19/mo. Suggestions are data-informed, not guarantees, because nothing can honestly promise a specific lift from reading a page.

That matters more than the platform choice for most people reading this. Migrating takes weeks; auditing the page you have takes minutes. Run a landing page audit on your current funnel before you commit to a move, or start from why a landing page is not converting if the symptom is traffic arriving and nothing happening.

How to choose in five minutes

Answer three questions in order. First, do you sell something with a checkout on the page? If no, you do not need a funnel platform and should be comparing Leadpages, Unbounce, and Landingi instead, which cuts your budget by two thirds. If yes, keep going.

Second, how much do you sell in a month? Under about $760, the transaction-fee plans really are cheaper and Kartra Essentials or Systeme.io wins. Above it, price the flat-subscription options, and remember a percentage scales with success while a subscription does not.

Third, are you selling your own product or serving clients? Your own product points at ClickFunnels Scale at $197, Kartra Starter at $119, or Kajabi Basic at $179 if courses are the business. Serving clients points at GoHighLevel at $297, or Systeme.io Unlimited at $97 if you need sub-accounts without the CRM. Agencies auditing client pages at volume can start from agency landing page audits, and anyone weighing testing features should read A/B test sample size first, because most single funnels never reach the traffic those features need.
