What you pay at $3,000 a month

Example: 100 customers paying $30 a month on Stripe’s standard US card rate (2.9% + USD 0.30), so $117 in card fees on either platform (Stripe pricing).

  • Systeme.io Startup ($17): $17 + $117 = $134. You keep $2,866, if you’re within 5,000 contacts.
  • Systeme.io Unlimited ($97): $97 + $117 = $214. You keep $2,786.
  • ClickFunnels Launch, monthly ($97): $97 + $117 = $214. You keep $2,786.
  • ClickFunnels Launch, annual ($81/mo): $81 + $117 = $198. You keep $2,802.

These leave out Stripe’s international-card (+1.5%) and currency-conversion (+1%) surcharges and any Stripe Billing fee on recurring payments. At this size the plan choice is driven more by contact, email and course limits than by price.
