ElasticFunnels vs Konnektive

Konnektive vs ElasticFunnels

You are choosing between a funnel you host and a CRM you attach to pages you already run. ElasticFunnels is a funnel platform for teams that buy traffic. It builds the pages, hosts the checkout, and keeps the click, the order, the rebill and the refund on one record, with the CRM on that same data. Konnektive is the CRM and payment platform behind the order form. The Konnektive homepage says landing pages connect through form code, a WordPress plugin or an API.

If the campaign still needs a page and a checkout you can change without a new link, start with ElasticFunnels. When the landers are already live, the remaining decision is which processor takes the first charge, and that is what Konnektive is for.

The first charge can move. Later charges stay

Both products can place the first sale on more than one merchant account. They route that sale in different ways. On both, a later subscription charge stays on the gateway that approved the first payment.

ElasticFunnels runs that split on NMI accounts. The routing page describes a weighted split, rules and a daily cap, and says you can connect as many NMI accounts as you hold. Stripe, PayPal, Klarna and Authorize.net each connect as one account. Upsells and rebills stay on the account that stored the card, because the saved card only works there.

Konnektive markets programmable routing across 250-plus payment processors, with native support for 100-plus currencies, on that page. ATRI handles the initial sale. Konnektive's routing guide says recurring billings keep charging the gateway that approved the original transaction.

A cascade profile can reattempt a soft-declined first sale, up to five times. The cascade article says a hard decline, or a decline for insufficient funds, is not retried.

If the offer bills on a schedule, weigh this limit before you choose. You can steer the first sale. The rebill keeps billing the account that took the card. The MID routing guide for subscriptions covers this same limit on the other platforms. For a broader look at routing, read the multi-MID routing guide.

What you pay when one side publishes a price

ElasticFunnels lists three plans on its pricing page, and every feature is on every plan. Starter is $97 a month, Growth is $197 and Scale is $497. Yearly billing is $937, $1,891 and $4,771. What changes is the allowance: 50,000, 250,000 or 500,000 page views a month, then brands, custom domains, seats and automation runs. Starter includes 3 brands, 5 custom domains and 10 seats. Growth moves to 10 brands, 15 domains and 20 seats. Scale removes the brand and seat caps and allows 50 domains.

Revenue through ElasticFunnels' own gateways carries a 0.5% fee. Sales sent to an outside checkout or a network are not charged the fee. You can open the account before a card is on file.

The Konnektive button on that site is Schedule A Call. You learn the platform fee on that call, and each processor bills its own card fees on the accounts you connect. Buying starts when you book time with them, and the stretch after that is onboarding.

One campaign link while the page changes

The split that matters for a live ad is the one that leaves the address alone. The split-testing page says variants rotate on the server, so Meta, Google and TikTok never see a new URL, and a single test can hold up to five variants. The click, the order and the refund sit on one timeline, so the sale stays attached to the visit that produced it. The order bump and any later rebill stay on that same customer record.

Public write-ups from people who do not sell the software are still scarce. ElasticFunnels has been on the market since 2023, so outside reviews have had less time to pile up. Use the trial to set up the pages and the checkout before you send live traffic. The ElasticFunnels review goes further into the checkout. The checkout split testing guide shows how to read a test.

Konnektive, once the landers are already yours

Konnektive has been a CRM for direct-response and subscription offers since 2010. It cites more than 200 million transactions, 60,000 merchants and over $7 billion processed a year. Those figures are the vendor's.

A continuity brand looks here for that processor list, and for the HIPAA compliance advertised for telemedicine and pharmacy. Independent reviews on Trustpilot single out how quickly support replies when a billing cycle breaks.

Expect a few weeks of learning. Reviewers say the CRM has a lot of screens. Someone who wants the pages packaged with this class of routing should read Checkout Champ vs Konnektive. Checkout Champ is the front end that includes the pages, and the two vendor sites describe the products separately. Konnektive vs Sticky.io compares the billing stack, and ElasticFunnels vs Checkout Champ compares the page stack. The Konnektive review covers the CRM.

My take

I would start the ElasticFunnels trial if you are still changing the page on an ad URL you do not want to replace. When the landers are done and the subscription has to bill across many processors, schedule a Konnektive call.
