Why choose systeme.io over Circle?

Upload without limits

Circle caps your storage at 200 GB on the Professional plan, forcing you to upgrade or delete content as your library grows. Systeme.io offers unlimited file and video hosting on the Free plan, so you never run out of space for your courses

Get API access for $0

Circle locks custom API access behind their expensive $219/month Business plan. Systeme.io grants full API access on the Free plan, giving developers and power users total freedom without the enterprise price tag

Stop paying for emails

Circle charges extra monthly fees for their "Email Hub" to send advanced marketing broadcasts. Systeme.io includes unlimited marketing emails on the Free plan, so you don't pay extra just to sell to your audience

Manage inventory and shipping

Circle lets you sell access, but it can't handle logistics. It lacks inventory tracking and shipping management. Systeme.io lets you sell physical products (books, merch) with full fulfillment tools included for free
