ClickFunnels vs Unbounce

What ClickFunnels is

ClickFunnels builds sales funnels — landing pages, upsells and checkout — as one connected flow. It is opinionated about the shape of a sale: pages, order bumps and upsells are one flow rather than parts you assemble. That makes it fast for a direct-response offer and a poor fit for a normal marketing site, where a website builder does more for less.

What Unbounce is

Unbounce builds landing pages with A/B testing and traffic routing aimed at paid campaigns. Pages are built outside your site's template system, which is exactly what paid campaigns need and exactly what makes it a duplicate stack to maintain. Traffic routing between variants is the feature that justifies it for ad-heavy teams.
