How ClickFunnels and Mailchimp 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.

Mailchimp is the name most small businesses say first. Templates, a drag-and-drop editor, segmentation, customer journeys, A/B testing, reporting, forms and landing pages, and integrations with nearly everything make it a dependable marketing hub. The AI tools and Intuit's ecosystem keep it moving.
