What does Systeme.io actually include, and who is it built for?
All-in-one funnels, email, courses and webinars, with a real free plan
Systeme.io is an all-in-one funnel, email, course and webinar platform built for solo founders and small teams selling their own offers, not agencies juggling separate client accounts. A genuine free plan lets you validate an idea, then four paid tiers scale by contact count. The catches: annual billing isn't broken out per plan, and the Startup price shown may reflect a promotional rate, so confirm the real cost before committing.
Choose Systeme.io for
- A first offer you want to validate before paying
- Solo founders who want funnels, email and a course in one tool
- Evergreen webinars from the Webinar plan upward
Look elsewhere if
- Agencies that need separate client logins
- Teams that need several workspaces inside one subscription
Who Systeme.io is built for
Systeme.io is built for solo founders and small teams selling their own product, course or coaching offer, not for agencies managing several client accounts. The free plan exists specifically so a new offer can be validated before any money changes hands, and the paid tiers scale with contact count rather than with number of team seats.
If the actual job is separating client A from client B, with logins the client controls, this is not the structural fit: see which funnel builder works for an agency before committing.
What the platform actually does
Per the official pricing page, the platform bundles funnels, email campaigns and automation, course hosting and affiliate program management on every plan, though the exact feature depth per tier is worth re-verifying in the app before you build around a specific capability.
- The Free plan includes 2,000 contacts, 3 sales funnels, 1 course and 1 custom domain, enough to launch and test a first offer.
- Evergreen (automated) webinars are included starting on the Webinar plan, not before. If the sales model is a webinar funnel, this is the feature that decides the tier, not the contact count.
The plan ladder
Four tiers, priced by contact volume and feature depth rather than by seats:
| Systeme.io | Free | Startup | Webinar | Unlimited |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | free | $17/mo | $47/mo | $97/mo |
| Billed annually | · | · | · | · |
| Contacts | 2,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 | unlimited |
| Sales funnels | 3 | unlimited | unlimited | unlimited |
| Courses | 1 | 5 | unlimited | unlimited |
| Custom domains | 1 | · | · | unlimited |
| Evergreen webinars | · | · | included | · |
| Automation rules | · | · | · | unlimited |
| Webinars | · | · | · | unlimited |
| Communities | · | · | · | unlimited |
Annual billing is advertised as 2 months free; the pricing page does not itemise annual per-plan amounts. Current amounts: the official Systeme.io pricing page.
The Startup price displayed may reflect a promotional rate.
Startup unlocks unlimited sales funnels and 5 courses at $17 per month. Webinar adds evergreen webinars and raises the contact cap. Unlimited removes every numeric ceiling, including automation rules and communities.
Costs that show up after the price you see
Two things to check before you subscribe, not after:
- The Startup price displayed may reflect a promotional rate. Confirm the current figure on the official Systeme.io pricing page before budgeting around it.
- Annual billing is advertised as two months free, but the pricing page does not itemise the annual amount for each plan individually. Run the math yourself rather than assuming a flat percentage across tiers.
Limits that make the cheap tiers hurt
The Free plan's 2,000-contact and 3-funnel caps are tight past the validation stage: a second offer or a fourth funnel forces an upgrade even if the contact list barely moved. Startup's 5,000-contact ceiling is the next wall, and it arrives before the Webinar plan's evergreen webinar capability becomes relevant if that is the actual reason to upgrade.
None of the paid plans below Unlimited expose unlimited custom domains or unlimited automation rules, so a business running several branded funnels on separate domains should check that limit specifically before choosing a tier.
The best alternative if this isn't the fit
If the real requirement is separating client accounts with their own logins, HighLevel's sub-account model is the structural answer Systeme.io does not attempt to be; see the HighLevel guide. For a direct feature and price comparison, read Systeme.io vs HighLevel.

Questions people also ask
Does Systeme.io have a genuine free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes 2,000 contacts, 3 sales funnels, 1 course and 1 custom domain at no cost, per the official pricing page. It is built to validate a first offer, not to run a mature business.
When do I actually need the Webinar plan?
When the sales model runs on an evergreen (automated) webinar. That capability is included starting on the Webinar plan and not before, regardless of contact count, so a webinar funnel is the trigger even if the list is still small.
Is Systeme.io a good fit for an agency with several clients?
Not structurally. Systeme.io has no sub-account or client-separation model built in; agencies typically open one account per client instead. For a platform built around that problem, see which funnel builder works for an agency.
Is the Startup plan price fixed?
Not necessarily. The registry notes the displayed Startup price may reflect a promotional rate, so confirm the current figure on the official Systeme.io pricing page before budgeting a subscription around it.
