Point 1: "Funnels Only" vs. "The Whole Business"

  • ClickFunnels: It's excellent at building pages. Period. But that's where it ends. If you want to send an email, you need another tool. If you want to schedule an appointment, you need another one.

  • HighLevel: It also builds pages (and does it very well). But it's also your CRM, your email system, your calendar, and your SMS tool.

  • Winner: HighLevel (By a landslide in functionality).

Point 2: The Price War (Let's Do the Math)

  • The ClickFunnels "Stack":

    • ClickFunnels: $97/month

    • ActiveCampaign (Emails): $49/month

    • Calendly (Appointments): $12/month

    • Zapier (Connections): $20/month

    • Total Real: $178/month (minimum).

  • The "Stack" de HighLevel:

    • HighLevel Starter: $97/mes.

    • Annual savings: $972.

  • Conclusion: With what you save in a year, you can pay for a vacation.

Point 3: Customer Ownership

  • ClickFunnels: You are a user. You pay to use their software.

  • HighLevel: With the unlimited plan, you can use "White Label." You put YOUR logo on it and resell it to your customers. You become the owner of the software. ClickFunnels does not allow you to do this.

Final Verdict:

If you only sell a simple digital product and don't care about tracking, ClickFunnels is fine.

But if you are an agency or consultant who needs to capture leads, nurture them via email/SMS, and close sales, staying with ClickFunnels is a waste of money and time.

Change is scary, but it's worth it.
