Let’s be honest.

You started with ClickFunnels because it sounded like the magical unicorn of the internet business world. You heard the legends: “Just build a funnel and the money rains down like it’s Coachella and you’re selling bottled air.”

But somewhere along the way…

You realized you weren’t running a funnel.

You were duct-taping a Frankenstack together with a prayer and your last 6 ounces of caffeine.

Enter HighLevel CRM: The all-in-one platform that makes ClickFunnels look like a flip phone in an iPhone world.

So let’s get to it.


🥇 Advantage #1: HighLevel is a Full-Stack Beast. ClickFunnels is… a Funnel. That’s It.

ClickFunnels is like that one friend who shows up to the potluck with nothing but chips. Cool. Appreciated. But now we still need salsa, guac, plates, napkins, and therapy.

HighLevel shows up with the chips, dip, meat tray, dessert, a playlist, and a bartender named Brad.

You don’t just get a funnel builder.

You get:

  • Email & SMS marketing

  • Calendars and booking

  • Full CRM with smart pipelines

  • AI tools that follow up FOR you

  • Reputation management

  • Membership sites

  • Social media scheduling

  • Automations that would make Tony Stark jealous

With ClickFunnels, you still have to duct-tape together half a dozen other platforms like it’s 2012 and Zapier is your only friend.

With HighLevel, you log in… and your business is right there. One login to rule them all. One dashboard to crush your chaos.


🥈 Advantage #2: ClickFunnels Makes You a Funnel Builder. HighLevel Makes You a 

Business Owner.

ClickFunnels gives you a funnel and says, “Good luck, champ!”

HighLevel gives you a funnel and a full marketing team in a box.

ClickFunnels wants you to build a landing page.

HighLevel wants you to build an empire.

You’ll waste time hopping between:

  • Stripe for payments

  • Calendly for appointments

  • ActiveCampaign for email

  • Twilio for texting

  • Facebook Business Manager for ads

  • Therapy for the emotional toll

HighLevel rolls it into one elegant system.

ClickFunnels = Funnels

HighLevel = Funnels, Function, Fortune, and Freedom™


🥉 Advantage #3: ClickFunnels Has No AI. HighLevel Has an AI Employee Who Never Calls in Sick.

HighLevel’s built-in AI is like having a caffeinated assistant who:

  • Writes your follow-up messages

  • Nurtures leads while you sleep

  • Texts faster than your teenager

  • And never ghosted a lead in its life

ClickFunnels?

Well, if you want AI… you better start copying, pasting, and hoping ChatGPT doesn’t call you out for “overusing emojis in sales emails.”

HighLevel’s AI works in the platform. It automates follow-up, writes emails, builds workflows, and probably folds laundry on weekends (still in beta).

It’s not just “AI-flavored.” It’s AI-fueled.


💥 The Verdict

ClickFunnels is fine if you want a funnel.

HighLevel is what you need if you want:

  • Sales

  • Clients

  • Automations

  • A scalable business

  • Your sanity back

Let’s put it this way:

If ClickFunnels is a funnel…

HighLevel is the entire water park.
