# Checkout & funnel software reviews · CheckoutScale > Source: https://checkoutscale.com/reviews ## Reviews Every platform we cover [The full ranking →](/best) Every platform we cover, reviewed the same way: we read the vendor's own docs and pricing pages, verify the numbers, and weigh them against what long-term users report. No live-campaign testing, and we say so. [ ](/reviews/elasticfunnels) Paid-traffic teams that need same-URL split testing and multi-MID checkout on one data layer #### [ElasticFunnels ](/reviews/elasticfunnels) ElasticFunnels is the pick if you run paid ads and need to split-test whole checkouts under one URL and route payments across processors. From $97/mo [Read review](/reviews/elasticfunnels) [ ](/reviews/checkout-champ) high-volume direct-response brands that have outgrown a single processor #### [Checkout Champ ](/reviews/checkout-champ) Checkout Champ is the pick if you run high-volume direct-response offers and have outgrown a single processor, as long as you can accept a demo-gated setup and a bill that scales with your sales. From $300/mo [Read review](/reviews/checkout-champ) [ ](/reviews/samcart) Creators and digital sellers who want a fast, high-converting standalone checkout #### [SamCart ](/reviews/samcart) SamCart is the pick if you want a fast, standalone checkout that raises revenue per sale without adopting a whole funnel platform. From $79/mo [Read review](/reviews/samcart) [ ](/reviews/clickfunnels) Beginners who want templates and fast, simple funnels in one familiar platform #### [ClickFunnels ](/reviews/clickfunnels) ClickFunnels is the pick if you are starting out and want proven templates and a familiar platform that bundles pages, checkout and email. From $97/mo [Read review](/reviews/clickfunnels) [ ](/reviews/thrivecart) Creators who want a high-converting checkout without a recurring subscription #### [ThriveCart ](/reviews/thrivecart) ThriveCart is the pick if you would rather pay once than subscribe, and your checkout needs fit the Standard plan. From $495 once [Read review](/reviews/thrivecart) [ ](/reviews/gohighlevel) Agencies running many client accounts who need CRM, funnels and white-label in one #### [GoHighLevel ](/reviews/gohighlevel) GoHighLevel is the pick if you are an agency running many client accounts and want one platform for pipelines, funnels and white-label. From $97/mo [Read review](/reviews/gohighlevel) [ ](/reviews/kartra) coaches and course creators who want one login instead of a stack of tools #### [Kartra ](/reviews/kartra) Kartra is the pick if you are a coach or creator who wants pages, email, checkout, courses and memberships on one login, and you can live with a slow builder. It is not built for paid-traffic direct response, where same-URL split testing and payment routing matter more. From $59/mo [Read review](/reviews/kartra) [ ](/reviews/paddle) software, SaaS and digital-product sellers who want tax and compliance handled #### [Paddle ](/reviews/paddle) Paddle is the pick if you sell software, SaaS or a digital product and want sales tax, VAT and compliance handled for you as Merchant of Record. If you sell physical products, supplements or a business opportunity, Paddle's own rules rule you out before price ever enters the decision. From 5% + 50c per sale [Read review](/reviews/paddle) [ ](/reviews/gumroad) creators selling a first digital product without a monthly fee #### [Gumroad ](/reviews/gumroad) Gumroad is the pick if you want the simplest possible way to start selling a digital product: no monthly fee, a checkout live in minutes, and sales tax handled for you as merchant of record. It is real, it has run since 2011, and it pays creators every week. The catch is the price of that simplicity. A flat 10% plus 50 cents per direct sale, on top of card processing, gets expensive as you grow, its rules bar physical goods and most high-risk offers, and it is not a checkout you can split-test or route across processors. For a first product it is a fast start. For a paid-traffic business it is a starting line, not the finish. From 10% + 50c per sale [Read review](/reviews/gumroad) [ ](/reviews/kajabi) established coaches and creators running their whole business from one dashboard #### [Kajabi ](/reviews/kajabi) Kajabi is a real, established platform that is genuinely good for coaches and course creators who want one login for courses, community, email and checkout. For a paid-traffic seller it is the wrong tool and an expensive one: the checkout runs a single processor with no same-URL split testing or payment routing, and plans start at $179 a month. From $179/mo [Read review](/reviews/kajabi) ### Related reading * [The full ranking](/best) * [Head-to-heads](/compare) * [Alternatives](/alternatives) --- We rank the platforms that build the pages and host the checkout for teams running paid traffic: order bumps, one-click upsells, split-testing whole checkouts, different checkouts per traffic source, and payment routing for high-risk verticals.
