ClickFunnels has been around for a long time, with tens of thousands of individual users, and thousands upon thousands of businesses that rely on them to host their courses, funnels and businesses each day.
For many, ClickFunnels can be seen as an expensive option, especially when compared to platforms such as DropFunnels, Systeme.io or GrooveFunnels. So we are here today to look through the ClickFunnels Pricing Plans and work out how much it really costs, plus what you get for that price.
Unlike some of the competitors (BuilderAll is a good example) ClickFunnels only has 2 tiers, Platinum ($297 per month) and Standard ($97 per month). Keep reading below to see what is included with each tier, and how to grab a 14 day free trial to give it a spin.
ClickFunnels Standard Tier ($97 per month)
The majority of people are always going to care about the number of funnels, pages or monthly visits (If you cap out the number of people who can visit your site, then you will lose money.
Saying that, ClickFunnels standard will be more than enough for most users, due to what you get as part of your monthly cost.
ClickFunnels will give you 20 funnels, these can be any type of funnel you want, but all together they cannot take up more than 100 pages (or 100 steps). Roughly 5 steps or pages per funnel.
On top of that you are provided 20,000 monthly visitors. Out of those 20,000 monthly visitors, you can capture as many as you wish and you are given unlimited contacts (i.e emails and names).
Those 20 funnels can be split across up to 3 custom domains. As such if you want to make your funnels look professional, rather than myfirstfunnel.clickfunnels or similar, you will want to add a custom domain. This should be adequate for most ClickFunnels users, who will probably want to run 1 or 2 funnels on the same domain.
Store owners, or those selling their own products (such as a digital course or physical product), you can only use 3 payment gateways. This might be Stripe or PayPal. Though it's worth keeping in mind, you can only actually have 1 turned on at a time.
If you want to use ClickFunnels as part of a team, you can create 1 sub account (they will be able to access your funnels and account).
ClickFunnels Platinum Tier ($297 per month)
If you are someone who needs a little more from their funnel building platforms, then the Platinum Tier may be the one for you.
ClickFunnels bump you up to Unlimited Funnels, Unlimited Pages and Unlimited Monthly Visitors. So if you are a big marketer, with lots of different products, tools or items to promote, you can create as many funnels and pages as you wish. You can split those unlimited funnels and pages over 9 custom domains. Even big marketers usually run 1 or 2 products per domain (just using different urls on the end).
They have also opened up 6 more payment gateways, offering you 9 gateways. Though if I am honest, I don't know why you'd need 9!
Support is also pushed to priority for those on the Platinum Tier, so if you have questions or issues, ClickFunnels will push your tickets to the top (sadly their support is pretty meh..).
Another new feature for Platinum users is access to Follow-up Funnels, ClickFunnels answer to autoresponders. These follow up flows allow you to send emails or texts to your customers (or leads). One thing is that you can hook these inside of your funnels, so you know the exact point leads get to, or which point a customer purchases a One-Time-Offer, or skip it.
Lastly, and possibly one of the big selling points for ClickFunnels Platinum, is access to ClickFunnels Backpack. This is ClickFunnels affiliate tools (allowing you to get affiliates to sign up to sell your products). You will notice that the dashboard and the area is exactly the same as the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program.
Unfortunately, you will find that if you are a member of the affiliate program, both of these will merge, split and cross over pretty much all the time. Thus you will be trying to find a link for a product, and then a ClickFunnels book link will appear instead. It can be a buggy mess at times.
