How ClickFunnels and Medium 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.

Medium is where a good essay can find readers on its own. The editor is calm, publications curate, the algorithm and topics surface work to members, and the Partner Program pays writers from member reading time. You bring words; Medium brings the audience and the distribution.
