What we build on
HBA Funnel Builder
Not our highest-scoring tool — Systeme.io edges it on price and flexibility. It is the one we run client sites on, because of the parts that do not show up on a pricing page: starter training instead of an empty dashboard, an AI assistant inside the builder, and support that answers the same day without booking a call.
$25 a month, custom domain included, no trial.
We are an independent affiliate for this product and are not the product owner. We may receive compensation if you subscribe, at no change to your price.
Head to head

How we rate
| Dimension | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Ease of setup | How long from signup to a live page on your own domain. |
| Feature depth | What it does beyond the basics, and what it quietly cannot do. |
| Value for cost | What you get per dollar against the nearest alternative. |
| Support | How fast a real answer arrives, and whether the docs cover the edges. |
| Affiliate upside | Commission rate, recurring or one-time, and cookie length. |
The overall score is computed from those five, not set by hand. Where we have used a tool on a real build, the page carries a note on what actually happened. Where we have not, it says researched only — and the pricing and limits still come from the vendor's own published pricing, with the date we checked it shown on the page.
