ClickFunnels

Pros

One stop solution to create website, marketing and other funnels and email broadcasting.

Cons

Very slow, sometime I need to reload the funnel/page again and again to land on the page.

Pros

Designed to be super intuitive and easy for even novice beginners + the coaching content is super helpful.

Cons

Russel is a bit much, but that's more of a preference in business opportunity marketing personalities.

Pros

Its really easy to create stunning funnels and sales pages with Clickfunnels.

Cons

Email marketing/sequencing connected to an opt-in page is a higher monthly cost.

Pros

Live zoom training calls, customer support, drag-and-drop interface,
pre-built funnel templates, no coding knowledge required.

Cons

Pricing, relatively expensive compared to competitors, higher-tier plans needed for advanced features, additional costs for domain names and email services,
technical limitations, limited customization options compared to traditional website builders.

Pros

I'm very familiar with [sensitive content hidden] & ClickFunnels. Plus, I see the product "everywhere." It must be reliable because so many businesses use the service.

Cons

Original ClickFunnels is very user-friendly & it's fairly easy to find what you need. The 2.0 version is a lot harder to figure out, though.

Pros

I value the information and materials provided by the many seminars, courses, and videos. Once you learn where everything is and how it works, I like how easy the tools are to use. It's not set up the same as WordPress or other website builders. I admire that they are concentrating on creating sales funnels rather than any kind of website. It is a specialized website builder. I appreciate how the items on the page scale and arrange themselves according to the size of the part they are in. This is not something that can be found everywhere. It benefits folks who lack html programming knowledge. It works well with Stripe for money collection and the majority of popular email marketing platforms.

Cons

The pricing is a bit pricey, especially for the Platinum plan, which includes all the options you require, it must be acknowledged up front. Sometimes the more sophisticated funnels in this product don't function. The number of Conversion and Page Tunnels in the product's standard version is extremely constrained. Additionally, the sometimes-slow addition of a tunnel needs to be expedited. The Split Testing tool needs to be reviewed because it is outdated.

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

It's easy to get caught up in the sway or hype that [sensitive content hidden] brings in his sales campaign. But understand it's all hype when it comes to his systems. The education is phenomenal but his SAAS or system is trash. He should be held accountable for selling a beta that wasn't fit for any market. Invest in the education. Leave the system.

Cons

See above. Clickfunnels 2.0 and his customer support team are horrid. There are no two ways about it. If you're not part of his millionaire or multimillionaire club, go somewhere else. You are what pays his lights ... and yet aren't appreciated. Take the education and make application elsewhere. Also, flat-out lied about the functionality of their workspaces. Had to go back to clients to "convince" them to pay for monthly service since they falsely advertised being able to setup website during their sales pitch. After the update rolled, user terms stated that this was not possible and if you created a workaround you would be terminated from using their system....

The 14 day trial was a great way to get started but I could not afford the monthly fee after that.

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

Super simple, yet advanced if needed. Wonderful customer service- quick and really helpful. The dedication from the CF Team is outstanding.

Cons

It was costly when just getting started and not having an income.

Pros

I liked the educational piece behind Click Funnels to help you understand how to market your product

Cons

I felt like I didn't launch a lot of funnels, but that was probably my fault

Pros

The diverse library of templates for landing pages with the aim to capture leads.

Cons

I found on the starter plan that it lacked too many standard type features

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

I love this software as it builds out an efficient sales funnel that converts traffic into customers with higher AOVs. Having used this software for 3 years+, I've become really familiar with building pages fast and efficiently. Love the founder, Russell too.

Cons

My biggest disappointment with Clickfunnels is the lack of updates and improvements to CF 1.0. Most of the community would rather have a better and improved version than to build a completely new platform in CF 2.0. For this year's Black Friday sales, web pages went DOWN, resulting in the loss of sales. This happened across many users. Page builders are still the same, with the occasional glitches; creating products across funnel pages would be long, arduous and repetitive process. URLs always come out buggy with numbers. Page templates look like websites from the early 2000s, when other products like LeadPages have cleaner and better designs. Membership sites are buggy, and confusing for the end-user.

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

Note - I am on the Startup plan. The Platinum plan does more.
The funnel templates, even the older ones, are well done. The newer ones are even better than I would expect. The software guides you through creating your funnels, guiding you with a funnel cookbook and appropriate funnel steps that match what you are trying to do. It is a well thought-out software for sure. I also appreciate the TON of learning materials you get -- about funnels, funnel scripts, etc. The integrations with Stripe and Zapier is really easy and seamless, and adding videos via Vimeo and YouTube is simple. Plus the software is always improving.

Cons

Note - I am on the Startup plan. The Platinum plan does more and may solve some of this.
First, it is a bit expensive for noobs. The Platinum is what we all need, but it is not feasible until we get our feet under us. For the core parts, building a funnel that leads people from start to finish, it is great, but if you want to build more advanced funnels then this product can fall short. Survey functionality is in beta and feels like it. I expect it will be more fleshed out at some point, but it is not a focus for sure. Where I was debating going with bucket.io, and knowing how popular quizzes/surveys are, I would have expected survey functionality to be more complete. Some traffic statistics don't seem to add up, and there is no way to cross-reference them for accuracy. Shared funnels from them are awesome, but on the Startup plan they quickly take up all of your pages and funnels, so you have to archive them.

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

I love how easy Clickfunnels is to use and set up. We used Clickfunnels on a daily basis to set up sales funnels and other sorts of funnel site systems for our clients and it was always so easy. They have a huge selection of template pages that also help you build out whatever it is your client is looking for in half the time. The potential customer journey works so well with the pages from the Clickfunnels system and it is an all-around great quick fix for lead generation needs.

Cons

I hate that once you hit a certain threshold of customers the system starts to slow down pretty drastically. It makes it hard to do any sort of "quick" updates at a fast pace because the different pages just load so slowly.

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

I'm absolutely in love with this software because it's incredibly effective in creating sales funnels that efficiently convert website traffic into valuable customers, resulting in higher average order values (AOVs). Over the course of using this software for over six years, I've gained a deep understanding of how to quickly and efficiently build pages. And let me tell you, I have a genuine admiration for the [sensitive content hidden]. His dedication and vision truly shine through in this remarkable product

Cons

I've been quite disappointed with Clickfunnels due to its lack of updates and improvements for CF 1.0. Many of us in the community would prefer a better and enhanced version rather than a completely new platform like CF 2.0. During last year's Black Friday sales, web pages unexpectedly went offline, resulting in significant loss of sales for numerous users. The page builders still have the same occasional glitches, making the process of creating products across funnel pages tedious and repetitive. URLs consistently come out with numerical errors, making them appear buggy. The page templates resemble websites from the early 2000s, while other products like LeadPages boast cleaner and more modern designs. Additionally, the membership sites are riddled with bugs and can be quite confusing for end-users.

Pros

A positive is that ClickFunnels offers a wide variety so it’s basically a one stop shop for website, lead generation, marketing, etc.

Cons

It is very clunky! I make website posts on it and duplicate old posts to make new website posts. When I try to change text it very copy the text correctly and it will usually grab the text block instead of the text. It formats incorrectly and it’s clunky when it creates a ULR redirect. It’s also not simple to duplicate old emails to use for marketing. I would go with another all in one product besides this one.

Pros

Fast loading videos and pages are the top requirements .

Cons

I don't like the high recurring monthly or yearly fee is too high.

Pros

Click funnels is very popular program. building landing pages and thank you pages are easy to do.

Cons

The click funnels version I was using needed to be integrated with an email Auto responder. which I myself found difficult to do.

Pros

Potentially, has a very good landing page builder, much better than the 1.0 version

Cons

It's simply not ready to market. Tons of features are missing. There is no affiliate, no upsell or order bump option. The entire website is very buggy. I'm so surprised that a company like clickfunnels is not ashamed of having such a bad product out in the market

Pros

The done for you templates were amazing. I also loved the customer support. Whatever trouble I ran into the support was super quick

Cons

I didn’t use all the functions so I moved to a less pricey landing page builder

Pros

I wasn't aware of the existence of a tool like this, and I appreciated the possibility to take a free trial and try it before buying it. The free trial lasted long enough to let me learn about the tool and how to use it because the tool is really easy if you already have some notions about funnels and landing pages. I was able to build a simple example of sales landing page in 15 minutes and that's something I would never be able to do without Clickfunnels.

Cons

It didn't present itself so well, too many pushy notifications and smiling faces that seem taken from stock images. I had to learn about it elsewhere to be sure it could be trusted.

Pros

Pros

ClickFunnels has everything you need to Market, Sell, and Deliver Your Products and Services Online! One of the cool things ClickFunnels does is that it takes the guesswork out of trying to build a website or landing page that converts your lead traffic. There are a number of templates available to use and these templates are designed to convert leads into customers. The dashboard of the software is extremely easy to navigate and there are of course helpful training and use videos available to help you get set up quickly. You can use the upsell features to easily add product and services upsells to increase the opportunity to increase revenue. You can also use this platform to build complete membership areas all in the same program. The editor is really intuitive and makes it pretty easy to customize the pages at a high rate of speed. It has integration with email list services like GetResponse and Awebber but if you want you can purchase the upgraded tool suite and get built-in functionality keeping all your business tools on one platform. You don’t have to know how to code or even how to design websites because it’s already done for you. Overall this is a very powerful sales and marketing tool! There is a free trial to get you the time you need to check out the software and see if it’s a right fit.

Cons

Cons

The software is a bit pricy as even the lowest plan will run you quite a bit per month, however, when you figure removing the cost of all the tools you need because there are included versions it starts to make it way more economical as you can bundle all those tools into one service.

Pros

I appreciate the education and resources given by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] via different seminars, courses, and videos. There's a sense of transparency coming from him.

I like the simplicity of using the tools once you get acquainted with where everything is located and how it works. It's not setup the same as WordPress or other website builders.

I appreciate that their focus in on building sales funnels and not any type of website. It's a specialized website builder.

I like that the elements on the page position and scale themselves automatically based on the section size they are in. This is not something available everywhere. It helps those who aren't savvy in html programming.

It integrates well with stripe for payment collection and most common email marketing platforms.

Cons

I think there's a little lack of transparency that you'll need an email marketing software to properly send emails to your list. This is a hidden cost to the already $97/month cost.

Their member area is very basic so one needs a different platform to setup courses if needed.

Sometimes it feels like it's a cart software with a more evolved page builder but one can get that with something like Samcart or Thrivecart for much cheaper.

Essentially, the user will need a few other platforms to have a proper online business system. This is not clearly stated in the marketing and it adds confusion to a new entrant.

I'd by nice to have a version of proper email marketing feature inside the $97/month plan using an SMTP service so I don't have to pay for another platform and setup integrations.

They could have a lower ticket price for those just starting especially since the platform cannot guarantee money generation. ClickFunnels is really more of a simplified website builder focused on building sales funnels and the $97/month price tag is a little much for something like using Samcart funnel or WordPress with Thrivecart or CartFlows.

Pros

The nice thing about Clickfunnels is that it integrates with so many different things, which makes sense why its core platform is so bad, they just integrate things into it.

Cons

It isn't user-friendly at all. It cost 3x what other software that do more than it cost, and you can Youtube the majority of the lessons that it claims make it so much more valuable. Also, the majority of the lessons are funnelling to upsells... Instead of impressing you and delighting you, they try to upsell you...

Pros

Clickfunnels is a powerful marketing tool that allows businesses to create sales funnels and automated marketing campaigns. By simplifying the process of creating landing pages, opt-in forms, and thank-you pages, Clickfunnels makes it easy to drive traffic to a website and convert leads into customers. Additionally, Clickfunnels integrates with a variety of email providers, payment processors, and CRMs, making it a valuable tool for any business. Clickfunnels also offers a wide range of resources to help businesses improve their marketing campaigns, including templates, training courses, and a knowledgeable support team. With its ease of use and robust feature set, Clickfunnels is an essential tool for any business looking to increase sales and grow their online presence.

Cons

Clickfunnels is a software application that allows businesses to create marketing and sales funnels. A funnel is a series of steps that lead a customer from awareness of a product or service to eventually making a purchase. Clickfunnels provides templates and tools to simplify the process of creating and managing funnels. While Clickfunnels can be a valuable tool for businesses, there are also some drawbacks. One issue is that Clickfunnels is a bit pricey, with monthly plans starting at $97. Additionally, Clickfunnels requires businesses to have their own website; it cannot be used as a standalone website builder. Finally, some users have found the interface to be confusing and difficult to navigate. Overall, Clickfunnels is a powerful tool that can help businesses boost sales and conversions, but it is not without its flaws.

Pros

I liked everything about click funnels, especially the ability to host courses

Cons

Theres nothing to dislike about clickfunnels

Pros

It has lots of add on tools which could potentially make it an all in one solution.

Cons

Almost all of the tools don't work as they are suppoed to do. Things that are working suddenly stop working without notice and the support team can't work out why. It's like they don't do any testing and expect customers to find the bugs.

Pros

Sometimes it works which is okay. It has decent functions if it works

Cons

Mostly IT DOES NOT. Tech takes a day to get back which is ridiculous. They don't read the issue and send you the help forms from the support page. They waste your time not even bothering to read your original issue so you loose another day to wait for a response. Maybe they can consider actually reading the email rather than copy and paste from the useless help section. The amount of tech issues is unacceptable. If you want something that is reliable this is DEFINITELY not it. Terrible. Slow. Useless. Infuriating.

Pros

Version 1.0 was really good. Bad front end, but worked perfectly. 2.0 is definitely something that can be improved and finished

Cons

2.0 too slow to be completely released and be working. Interesting features, but you have to release them sooner or later, better sooner

Reasons for Switching to ClickFunnels

Pros

State of the art tool for funnel marketing

Cons

not super easy to configure, I had to outsource implementation

Pros

I was new to the affiliate marketing business and ClickFunnels was a wonderful tool to upgrade my knowledge and start to understand how the workflow for online marketing/sales is built. Internet is a whole other beast and ClickFunnels does a great job of providing and guiding you through all the steps. Despite the fact that I have more experience now I think it's a great tool for newbies and people with less technology knowledge.

Cons

The pricing was the reason I didn't continue with it as well as the outdated-looking designs of the templates. I still prefer to use my already existing websites on Squarespace as well as build new ones with them.

Pros

Variety of funnels to createOnline tutorials and training resources

Cons

The Classic version has bugs and slow response- I have asked customer support for 6 months to fix the problem with my account and keep being told "we are busy with other upgrades and fixes". The actionetics does not work and the sms messaging doesn't send texts when scheduled.The Clickfunnels 2.0 still does not have feature to allow bulk import of contacts- waiting for this for 9 months!Also 2.0 charges a surcharge for any merchant service except their own. I can't change now to another provider. I had to change to Stripe to accomodate Clickfunnel Classic 2 years ago. All in all, I am sorry I paid $2000 for the year as I would have cancelled my account months ago. Now I have to wait until the end of the year and pay for another system -which I have done. Now using and will be migrating from CF to Systeme.io.

Pros

If I needed one piece of software to run a business, Clickfunnels would be it.

It is simple to use for funnel building. Can handle email lists. Integrates with other softwares easily.

Cons

Honestly nothing, for what it is built to do; it does it great.

Pros

On a whole, ClickFunnels is an OK system. A slight learning curve. Support is ok. Functionality is above average.

Cons

In my opinion, ClickFunnels is now a bit on the expensive side. I think it is based on the brand - the brand that Russell has made. Don't get me wrong, this is great and I congratulate him. However, now I think that the price point is making the software not very popular, especially with so many other software which can also deliver similar features.

Pros

The colours and the sites - they are all very beautiful and can be customized to your own likings

Cons

That You have to connect another mail provider - or else the price is HUGE

Pros

Click Funnels is a one-stop shop for all things funnel marketing. As a novice, when I started using the app I found it easy to navigate. It's improved my chick through numbers substantially.

Cons

I wish it was a little less expensive than some other funnel platforms.

Pros

It was super easy to learn and very user-friendly to figure out. No tech is needed.

Cons

It works great until you have a problem and then it is hard to contact a rep to help you.

Pros

Clickfunnel is still one of the best and easy online marketing tool for digital marketers, it makes your job easy and organized. Helps you get the best out of your marketing strategy/goals

Cons

Personally, clickfunnel is perfect compared to other marketing tools . I highly recommend it

Pros

Clickfunnels is surely easy to use and manage, even for first time users.

Cons

However, the price for such restricted customization is almost whack. It is sincerely not $99 p/m worth for such a narrow ability of freewill. Also, customer service is terrible, they literally don't care about the $99 (lowest tier) subscribers.

Pros

Version 2 saw a load of new features added which I think is good, with version 1 they were kinda claiming that that was all you would need but v1 didnt include stuff like the ability to make a blog but v2 has this. They have a big community and also put on funnel hacking events.

Cons

I think they could do with more page templates that are easier to edit and more neutral eg black and white with some simple fonts, Instapage does this really well, a lot of the clickfunnels templates can take to to edit because they use colours and photos, fancy fonts etc.

Pros

The feature that I like most about the ClickFunnels is that they are very efficient in clearing out sales funnel. We are able to see moving sales of company in a smooth manner which helps us to run operations in an efficient way.

Cons

First of all the price point is the first feature that I disliked about ClickFunnels. The plans are somewhat expensive but the results are quite impressive as we are able to access great features on their platform.

Pros

The best and best platform specialized in the work of Sales FunnelReally reallyProvides several advantagesOptin PagesSales PagesOrder Form PagesUpsell PagesWebinar Event PagesMembership SitesAnd moreBut the main tool is the Sales Funnel, and it has high-quality hosting, which is why it is expensive, which cannot pay a subscriptionIt provides a high commission marketing system that earns a respectable commission, just work conscientiously and perfectly, without lying to people who try it, then shop to know the value of a toolAnd this is a real money, business and marketing professional who made ClickFunnel.

Cons

It does not provide Google FontsWho is better at email marketing than using MailChimp, ConvertKit, or SendGrid.Everything is excellent nothing negative at all.

Pros

Quick setup for the most part, however for more in depth features, they require custom codes and more work.

Cons

The 3rd party codes I needed to add to get the functionality I was after. The complexity to setup PayPal payments along side stripe. Perhaps this is fixed on Clickfunnels 2.0

Pros

Click funnel offers a web design feature which is extremely easy to use, with no coding required.

Cons

Clickfunnels is quite pricey.Unable to automatically input my contacts list.

Pros

It's quite complete, allowing you to create magnificent lead capture pages, with a panoply of templates, right through to customer loyalty, with email marketing.

Cons

The pricing plan is not suitable for beginners.

Pros

It was my first program, I like the design features of it.

Cons

The cost, way too expensive for my needs

Pros

The potential is huge, all the integrations and cart features you need are there.

Cons

for a DIY person it’s hard to get that polished pro look. I wish there were more templates.

Pros

The thing I like the most about ClickFunnels is its popularity and the community around it.

Cons

ClickFunnels seems like a site from the early 2000's.

Pros

ClickFunnels provides a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy for anyone to create marketing pages without technical knowledge or coding skills. The best part is ready-made templates.It provides all the tools needed to create and manage a sales funnel, including landing pages, sales pages, order forms, payment processing, and email marketing.I can integrate software like Aweber. It provides an A/B testing feature that allows businesses to test different variations of their pages to optimize conversion rates. Customer support is really amazing.

Cons

ClickFunnels provides customizable templates, but the design options are limitedClickfunnel is really expensive for beginners.It takes some time to learn how to use the platform effectively and create high-converting sales funnels in beginning.

Pros

One of the things I really like about Clickfunnels is its user-friendly interface. Even if you don't have any technical skills, you can quickly create a professional-looking funnel that's optimized for conversions.Another thing I appreciate about Clickfunnels is its wide range of pre-designed templates. You can choose from dozens of different templates that are tailored to specific industries and niches, which can save you a lot of time and effort.And if you have design skills, you can also customize your funnel to your heart's content.One of the most impressive features of Clickfunnels is its ability to integrate with a wide range of third-party tools and platforms.For example, you can easily integrate Clickfunnels with your email marketing software, payment processors, and more. This makes it easy to streamline your workflow and automate your marketing.

Cons

While Clickfunnels is a powerful tool, it's not perfect. One of the main drawbacks of Clickfunnels is its pricing. Clickfunnels is one of the more expensive funnel builders on the market, and the cost can add up quickly if you need to use a lot of third-party integrations.
