ClickFunnelsvsDisciple

ClickFunnels is the funnel builder: pages, upsells, email, and courses built for launches. Disciple gives community owners branded iOS and Android apps with subscriptions.

How ClickFunnels and Disciple compare

ClickFunnels wrote the playbook on the sales funnel, and the 2.0 platform still does that job better than most: unlimited funnels on every plan, one-click upsells and order bumps, Smart Checkout, A/B tests, countdown timers, and templates built by people who sell for a living. Around the funnel it has grown a site and blog, courses, a store, email, automations, a CRM with pipelines, and MessageHub for conversations.

Disciple does the thing most community platforms charge a premium for: every plan includes your own iOS and Android app listed under your name, a synced web version, and no Disciple branding anywhere your members look. Groups, feeds, DMs, events, native video, livestreaming, courses, push notifications to segments, and a customer success manager who helps you through the app store submission. Associations, training providers, nonprofits, and membership brands that want an icon on the member's phone are who it is built for.

Where they are different

ClickFunnels

  • ClickFunnels starts from the offer and works backward to the page.
  • Both give you an inbox.
  • ClickFunnels appointments begin on the Scale plan.

Disciple

  • Disciple lives behind a login and a home screen icon.
  • Disciple reaches members with push notifications and hands email to Mailchimp or ConvertKit.
  • Disciple starts at $599 a month for a branded app with unlimited members.
  • Disciple has courses, livestreams, tiers, and in-app purchases.

Choose ClickFunnels when the offer is the business: you launch funnels, split-test them, stack upsells, sell courses and memberships, and want affiliates and SMS in the same account.

Choose Disciple when your members should open an app with your name on it, and a private community with groups, events, and paid tiers is the whole point.
