Frequently asked questions about systeme.io vs ClickFunnels
No. ClickFunnels does not offer a free domain for trials or any subscription. You can get up to 9 custom domains depending on the plan you choose (the free trial offers a website builder, but no domain)
Although it’s not mandatory to buy or use your own domain on your ClickFunnels account, they do recommend it for branding your page
This is because some integrations will require a domain in setting up their accounts such as SMTPs, Payment Gateways, or Autoresponders
Systeme.io allows users to start with 1 custom domain on the Free plan and include more as you scale our pricing plans
As of this moment, ClickFunnels is not fully set up for blogging tasks if you created a funnel step specifically for your Blog HomePage. They do offer a WordPress plugin that you can use for blogging, but it comes at a cost and a risk of broken integrations.
Systeme.io allows you to create a free blog space (when you start) with unlimited blog posts. This feature is constantly being improved by our developers.

Alternatively, you can also integrate with CRM platforms like Keap, ActiveCampaign, or Kajabi.

You also can’t access FunnelFlix while your subscription is paused.
With systeme.io, you don’t need to pay to keep your funnels or email list. You can simply select to deactivate whichever funnels, webinars, or emailing campaigns you have, without losing any information.
