Pros and cons
ClickFunnels
Pros
- Sites, stores and landing pages all come from the same builder, the site, store and landing range it publishes, so beginners need fewer separate tools.
- The ClickFunnels transaction fee is 0%, and the brand sits at 1 of 78 on that measure, so store margin is not trimmed by the platform.
- A 14 day trial gives you time to build a funnel before you pay, and the pricing is listed as a free trial model.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so the cheapest way in is the 14 day trial and then $97, while Ko-fi starts at $12.
- Starting price ranks 186 of 199, and the cost part of the score is 3.3, so this is where it gives ground.
- Support covers email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line among the channels.
Squarespace
Pros
- Site and store building are both covered, site and store, with the commerce plan priced at €15.
- Included features cover free ssl and email, so a free SSL certificate and email come as standard rather than as add ons.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so a help centre and a community sit behind email and chat.
Cons
- The free plan is marked no, so entry starts at €15 and every plan is paid for from the first term.
- Renewal of €15 sits above the introductory €11, so later terms cost more than the opening term.
- Sales carry a transaction fee of 2%, a cost on top of the plan price for stores.
Who each suits
ClickFunnels
Who it suits
- Beginners launching a first funnel, since the product is built for beginners and small business and offers a 14 day trial.
- Small businesses that want a site, a store and a landing page from the same tool, the site, store and landing range it publishes.
- Sellers who care more about keeping the full amount per sale than about entry price, given the transaction fee is 0%.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not Ko-fi when the budget is the deciding factor, since Ko-fi starts at $12 against $97 here.
- Not Mitienda Uruguay if you sell into a single market and want local pricing, since its plans start at UYU 400.
- Not Shafrik if you want a much smaller starting figure on the table, since Shafrik plans start at XOF 9,900.
Squarespace
Who it suits
- Beginners who want design handled for them, since the stated audience is beginners and small business.
- Small businesses selling online, because site and store building is covered in the same subscription.
- Buyers who want domains, commerce and email in a single account: hosting runs website, ecommerce and commerce.
Who should look elsewhere
- Ko-fi, listed at $12, if you need a cheaper way to test a paid page, because Squarespace has no free plan.
- Mitienda Uruguay, whose plans start at UYU 400, if your budget is set in Uruguayan pesos.
- Shafrik, whose plans start at XOF 9,900, if your budget is set in West African francs.

Questions about each
ClickFunnels
Does ClickFunnels have a free plan?+
No. There is no free plan, so no tier is free to keep using once a trial ends. What you get is a 14 day trial on the paid tier, and the pricing page lists the model as a free trial rather than a free plan. Plan for the paid fee when that window closes.
What does ClickFunnels cost to get started?+
The ClickFunnels entry plan starts at $97. Sellers who want store features look at the ClickFunnels e-commerce plan at $97, which is the higher of the published figures. There is no free plan to try first, so the trial is the only low-cost way in.
Squarespace
What does Squarespace cost to get started?+
Squarespace plans start at €15, and the opening term is an introductory €11 for 12 months. That entry figure sits above the site median €13.15 and below the upper quartile €29, so the opening year is the cheaper part of the deal.
What do I pay when the plan renews?+
The plan renews at €15, the same figure as the standard starting price €15, so the introductory €11 does not carry into later terms. Budget for the full rate once the intro period ends, and check the transaction fee 2% on each sale if you run a store.
