Shipping a side project is the easy part. Getting the first 100 signups needs a landing page, an email list and a simple funnel, and paying $97+/month for ClickFunnels before you have revenue makes no sense.
What a free funnel plan should give you
- A custom-domain landing page
- Email capture plus a basic automation sequence
- Checkout or at least a payment link
- GDPR-friendly data handling if you have EU users
Free options worth testing
- Systeme.io: free plan with funnels, email marketing and courses for up to 2,000 contacts.
- MailerLite: generous free tier for landing pages and email.
- Carrd + a form tool: cheapest DIY route for a single page.
- Kit (ConvertKit): free newsletter tier with landing pages.
How I would pick
Start with whichever free plan covers email plus landing page in one tool, so you are not gluing three services together. Move to a paid plan only when the funnel actually converts.
