Moving from ClickFunnels to Systeme.io: what can you keep?
Three things typically survive the move: your contact list, your uploaded media, and your domain name. Pages, funnels, automations and email sequences do not: Systeme.io reads its own builder format, so ClickFunnels funnels have to be rebuilt inside it. Active subscriptions, existing URL structure and tracking are the real risks. Rebuild and test in parallel before you touch DNS or cancel ClickFunnels.
What you can actually keep
Three things typically survive a move from ClickFunnels to Systeme.io because they don't depend on either builder's internal format: your contact list, your uploaded media, and your domain name. Most platforms let you export contacts as a CSV file; check your own account's export options before you commit to a timeline, since exact fields and formats vary. Images and video files you uploaded are usually downloadable individually, even if there's no bulk export. Your domain name is yours regardless of platform: you only need to repoint its DNS once the new setup is tested.
What you'll rebuild from scratch
Pages, funnels, automations and email sequences do not move between builders. ClickFunnels and Systeme.io each store funnel steps in their own internal format, so a page built in one does not import into the other; expect to recreate the layout, not migrate it. The same applies to automation rules and triggers: reconstruct the logic (tag added, email sent, delay, next step) rather than looking for an import button. Email sequences follow the same rule: reuse the copy, rebuild the send logic inside Systeme.io's own automation tools.
- Landing and funnel pages: rebuilt manually or from a template
- Automations and workflows: recreated rule by rule
- Email sequences: copy reused, triggers rebuilt
What's actually at risk
Three things can break silently if you migrate carelessly: active subscriptions, the SEO built into your existing URLs, and tracking. Active subscriptions in ClickFunnels are tied to that checkout; cancelling before your new checkout is live and tested can interrupt billing for customers already paying you. URL structure rarely survives a full rebuild identically, so pages that rank need redirects planned before the switch, not after traffic drops. Tracking pixels and conversion events need to be reinstalled and verified on every page type before you send traffic to the new funnel; see how purchase tracking breaks during a funnel migration for the checks to run.
Verify before you cancel ClickFunnels
Cancelling a subscription is the one migration step you cannot undo. Before you do it, confirm inside your own account: every active subscriber has a working equivalent in Systeme.io, your domain resolves to the new funnel and not the old one, and any content you still need (videos, files, course material) has been downloaded. Only then does cancelling save money instead of creating a support problem.
A migration order that doesn't cost you subscribers
The safe sequence rebuilds before it removes anything: rebuild the funnel in Systeme.io, test it end to end (checkout, emails, tracking) without touching the live ClickFunnels version, switch the domain once the new version passes every test, and only then cancel ClickFunnels. Running both platforms in parallel for a short overlap costs one extra subscription for a week or two; skipping that overlap is what turns a migration into an outage. The full generic version of this sequence is in the funnel migration checklist.
What the price gap doesn't tell you
$97 per month against $97 per month looks like a wide gap on paper, but the plans aren't equivalent: Systeme.io's Unlimited plan bundles unlimited contacts, funnels, automation rules and webinars, where ClickFunnels caps contacts and workspaces per tier and sells email, courses and workspaces as part of the same subscription. Compare the plan you'd actually need on each side, not the entry price, and factor rebuild time before you count the gap as pure savings.

Questions people also ask
Will my ClickFunnels pages import into Systeme.io automatically?
No. Neither platform imports the other's page or funnel format, so pages, funnels and automations get rebuilt inside Systeme.io. Contacts, uploaded media and your domain name are the parts that typically carry over; check your account's export options before you plan a timeline.
What happens to customers with active ClickFunnels subscriptions?
They keep paying through whatever checkout processed the original sale until you change it. Build and test the new checkout in Systeme.io first, migrate the subscription logic deliberately, and only cancel ClickFunnels once every active subscriber has a working equivalent on the new platform.
Do I lose my SEO rankings when I switch platforms?
You risk it if URLs change without redirects. Plan your new URL structure to match the old one where possible, and set up redirects for any page whose address changes before you switch the domain over.
Is Systeme.io actually cheaper than ClickFunnels?
$17 per month undercuts every ClickFunnels tier, but the entry plans aren't feature-equivalent. Compare the plan tier you'd need on each platform, not the cheapest listed price, using the cost calculator.
