Alternatives for the membership platform of clickfunnels? (7)

---

Hey guys!

As a vendor I am hosting my product on a membership funnel page on clickfunnels.
I am looking into alternatives since I am not so happy with the technical aspect of how everything works with clickfunnels membership pages.
Buyers dont get a password asigned, I cannot integrate the product delivery with digistore24, some users have issues registering (sometimes the cache needs to be cleared which is a bit of a problem for my 40+ housewives audience), etc.

Anyone using clickfunnel membership pages for their offer?
Any alternatives that come up?

Can you tell us a bit more about what space you are in? Some solutions are better for coaching, others for ecommerce, etc.

I've seen several people use Kajabi for coaching and as a user, it seems to work well. So the answer is probably going to depend a lot on what it is you are offering.

Now that said, I find Clickfunnels to be a bit of a cult. It can work well, but the users in their Facebook group... ugh!

You can check Teachable, Thinkific or Kajabi. Teachable has a free plan. Kajabi is more complete but more expensive.

Have in mind that as soon as you want automation to create user or assign a course to a user programmatically, you have to go with their business plan around 90-100$ / month. Lower plans either don't have any automation, or only from Teachable / Thinkific to third party tools, often through Zapier, not the other way around.

Thank you guys!

Well it is a € 57 info course in the weightloss niche (housewives being the target) plus a €49 upsell.
There are 2 Membership areas. One for the group who only bought the core product and one for the ones that bought the upsell (which includes the content of the core product).

So bascially super simple.
It is just that there is no digistore24 integration that works. That means they get the secret sign up link and assign their own password. So it is a bit unprofessional but for the niche I would say it is okay for now.

The problem is that with clickfunnels it is recommended to use incognito windows to register/log-in and you cant believe how many people have issues with that despite concrete instructions.
Sometimes even the cache needs to be cleared....you can imagine.

Otherwise, you can use a WordPress LMS plugin like LearnPress or something similar to host your course. And connect both with a custom integration, or Integrately:

Speaking of WP - I've used LearnDash + MemberPress. Easy to use and no need to pay monthly fees. Great reviews from users everywhere.

For WP haters who only want static websites, I am using the Hugo Learn theme with a Hugo distribution

Demo:
https://learn.netlify.app/en/

Github
https://github.com/matcornic/hugo-theme-learn

This is a more basic setup, as you won't have content drip, plus all the fancy progress bars in the course. But:
- you can write all your course in MarkDown, and update it by just pushing a commit to Github,
- if you need to copy paste content between course, it is just a file to copy, so also easier,
- you can integrate custom plugins or tools a bit more easily than on a SAAS platform.

Biggest negative point is that you have to manage your own auth.

I know Netlify has one here, but i have never use it, so can not comment: https://docs.netlify.com/visitor-access/identity/
I am using AWS Cognito in front of a CloudFront distribution
