ShipFunnels vs ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels made the sales funnel popular, and you build in its editor. ShipFunnels gives you the same toolkit, from checkout and one-click upsells to email and affiliates, for pages your AI agent writes, at a fraction of the price.

Where ShipFunnels is ahead

A big price tag beside a small one, for a tripwire funnel that leads to larger purchases

A fraction of the price

Starter is $15 a month, Pro $39 and Scale from $99. ClickFunnels is $97, $197 or $297 a month, or from $81 a month billed yearly.

A chain link with a gift box and a stack of coins, for earning commission from referral links

Affiliates without the $297 plan

Run your own affiliate program on every paid plan, with commissions on bumps, upsells and renewals. On ClickFunnels the Affiliate Center starts on Optimize, at $297 a month.

A chat bubble with a spark next to a stack of web pages, for an AI agent writing funnel pages

Your agent builds the funnel

Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor writes the pages, sets up checkout and publishes over MCP. The ClickFunnels MCP server is a preview on Scale and up, works with Claude Desktop, and has no tools to build or edit pages.

A paper plane flying up from a green check button, for a funnel passing its launch check and going live

Nothing goes live broken

Every publish runs a launch check: every step routes somewhere, checkout has a live product, the purchase event fires and the thank-you page is gated. Your agent fixes what fails first.

An open door with a key, for a members area behind a login

Pages you own

Your pages are plain HTML, CSS and JS that you can download and open anywhere. A ClickFunnels download is a frame that still loads the page from ClickFunnels.

Quiz answer cards with one option checked and a question mark bubble, for a quiz funnel

Tests that pick the winner

A/B test any step and ShipFunnels sends traffic to the winner automatically, so a test never needs you to come back and end it.

Questions

Yes. It covers the same funnel: checkout with order bumps and one-click upsells and downsells, a CRM, email flows, tracking, A/B tests, members areas and affiliates. The difference is that your AI agent builds the pages instead of an editor.

Yes. Give your agent the copy, offer and screenshots of your current pages, and it rebuilds them as plain files. Then it sets up checkout and runs the launch check before anything goes live.

Yes. Buyers add upsells and downsells with one click after checkout, without typing their card again, and order bumps sit on the checkout itself.

No. Payments go to your own Stripe, Paddle or Dodo account. You pay only your payment provider’s normal fees.
