ClickFunnels vs Kreosus

ClickFunnels is a sales funnel builder for entrepreneurs who sell info products, coaching, services and physical goods online. It was launched in 2014 by Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson under their company Etison and popularized step-by-step funnels of opt-in page, sales page, order form and upsells. The company reports more than 100,000 users and over a million funnels created.

The current platform, rebuilt as ClickFunnels 2.0, bundles landing pages, funnels, websites and blogs with checkout, one-click upsells and order bumps, an online store, courses and membership areas, community groups, email broadcasts and sequences, automations, a sales CRM with pipelines and appointments, a Message Hub inbox and an affiliate center. Plans are priced by workspace, team members, contacts, email volume and courses, starting with Launch and going up to the annual-only Dominate plan.

ClickFunnels fits solo founders, coaches and small marketing teams who want one system to sell and deliver an offer without stitching together five tools. It is expensive if you only need landing pages, and its page editor and templates have a distinct direct-response style that not every brand wants. Leadpages and Unbounce are cheaper and cleaner for landing pages alone, while Kajabi is stronger if courses and memberships are the core business.

There is a 14-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Annual billing cuts Launch from $97 to $81 a month, but watch the contact and email limits: crossing 10,000 contacts on Launch forces a jump to the $197 Scale plan.

Kreosus is a crowdfunding and membership platform for content creators, built for the Turkish market. It is developed by Tree of Evolution LLC, the Texas-based company with Turkish roots behind the science outlet Evrim Ağacı, whose founder Çağrı Mert Bakırcı leads the project. Its core job is to let followers support creators with monthly subscriptions or one-time payments, in Turkish lira or major foreign currencies.

Creators set up a profile, define membership tiers with rewards, share supporter-only posts and use an embed code to collect support from their own website. A control panel shows earnings, commission, deductions and supporters in real time. Failed recurring charges are retried automatically. Kreosus is free to join: the platform fee starts at 0% and rises in steps (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%) to a 10% cap as a creator's lifetime earnings grow, and card processing costs 2.9 to 3.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. The site says more than 1,500 creators use it, including Evrim Ağacı, Doğruluk Payı, Teyit and Akademiklink.

Kreosus suits Turkish creators, independent media and nonprofits whose audiences prefer paying in lira on a Turkish interface. Patreon offers a far larger global audience and tooling, Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi are simpler for international tips, and none of them charge in TRY with a Turkish-first experience.

Buying tip: the 0% starting fee makes it cheap to test, but plan for 10% at scale. Have your bank and invoicing details ready, since payouts require them.
