Courses and funnels

Four guides, four different winners. None asks whether a first-time creator should buy a platform at all before someone has paid them.

ClickFunnels locks recurring payments to its own processor. Systeme.io doesn’t. That matters more than the price gap, and nobody compares it.

Systeme.io pays reviewers 60% forever, so most reviews you’ll read are sponsored. Here’s the free plan limit none of them lead with.

Every ClickFunnels plan includes unlimited funnels, so what are you paying for? Six alternatives, and the payment lock-in nobody mentions.

Kajabi raised prices and cut contact limits in January 2026. Six alternatives compared on real cost, including the fees most lists ignore.
