What should you check first?
For 5,000 contacts, up to 10 funnels and 5 courses, Startup starts at $17/month when your remaining requirements fit its limits. A 5,001st contact moves the contact check to Webinar. Four custom domains also require Webinar, even if the contact list still fits Startup. Enter advanced requirements to check these limits alongside your list size.

Which plan fits your setup?
These examples check contacts, funnels, courses and automated webinar needs. Add your automation rules, workflows, domains, funnel steps and student count in the calculator to check more capacity limits. Integrations and actual feature behavior still need a separate review.
| Example need | Contacts / funnels / courses | Starting plan | Monthly | Annual upfront |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test a small setup | 1,500 / 3 / 1 No automated webinars | Free | $0 | $0 |
| Run a 5,000-contact list | 5,000 / 5 / 2 No automated webinars | Startup | $17 | $170 |
| Grow beyond 5,000 contacts | 5,001 / 5 / 2 No automated webinars | Webinar | $47 | $470 |
| Keep more than 20 courses | 5,000 / 5 / 21 No automated webinars | Unlimited | $97 | $970 |
Same contacts, different domain requirement
Both setups below have 5,000 contacts, five funnels, two courses and no automated webinars. Adding a fourth custom domain changes the lowest matching tier; the contact count alone would miss that cost.
| Custom domains needed | Starting plan | Monthly billing | Annual upfront |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Startup | $17 | $170 |
| 4 | Webinar | $47 | $470 |

What each standard plan costs
The annual equivalent helps compare budgets; it is not a monthly payment option.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual upfront | Annual ÷ 12 | Saving vs 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/month | $0 | $0.00/month | $0 |
| Startup | $17/month | $170 | $14.17/month | $34 |
| Webinar | $47/month | $470 | $39.17/month | $94 |
| Unlimited | $97/month | $970 | $80.83/month | $194 |
Each paid annual tier is about 16.7% less than twelve monthly payments. Taxes, currency conversion, payment processing and tools you keep may add to the total. Check the provider’s checkout and current terms before buying.
Check capacity before choosing the price
| Capacity | Free | Startup | Webinar | Unlimited |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contacts | 2,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 | Unlimited |
| Funnels | 3 | 10 | 50 | Unlimited |
| Courses | 1 | 5 | 20 | Unlimited |
| Automated webinars | 0 | 0 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Automation rules | 1 | 10 | 100 | Unlimited |
| Workflows | 1 | 5 | 20 | Unlimited |
| Custom domains | 1 | 3 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Funnel steps | 15 | 50 | 300 | Unlimited |
| Students | 500 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
The calculator checks contacts, funnels, courses and automated webinar needs, plus any advanced counts you enter. Blank optional fields are not checked and can still change the required tier. Feature behavior and integrations need a direct review. “Unlimited” is subject to the provider’s terms; it does not promise every feature or integration. Custom enterprise offers are outside this comparison.
The detailed table lists 500 students on Free, while a promotional summary says unlimited students on all plans. We use the detailed 500-student limit for the estimate; confirm with the provider before relying on a higher Free allowance.
Annual billing: when does the discount help?
For Startup, six monthly payments total $102, ten total $170 and twelve total $204. The annual invoice is $170 upfront. It matches ten monthly payments and saves $34 if you use the plan for twelve months. This comparison assumes the same plan and prices throughout; refunds and later upgrades are separate questions.
Webinar follows the same pattern: $282 for six monthly payments, $470 annually upfront and $564 across twelve monthly payments. The full-year difference is $94. Test your difficult workflows before accepting the longer commitment.
When does the Free plan stop fitting?
Free is a useful starting point when its capacities fit: up to 2,000 contacts, one course, 500 students, three funnels and one automation rule. Its lifetime sales through the platform are capped at $10,000 USD, excluding affiliate commissions. A paid subscription is required to continue selling at that threshold. This is a cumulative cap, not a monthly allowance.
Use the optional lifetime-sales input to check a current or planned total. It is your scenario, not a revenue forecast. Other feature and usage conditions still apply. The provider’s terms, articles 5 and 5a, also explain paid-plan overages and automatic upgrades; review these before subscribing.
Check your capacity and sales scenario →Which plans include the provider’s migration service?
The provider’s help article lists any paid annual plan or Unlimited monthly as eligible for its free migration service. Coverage is subject to the chosen plan’s limits and the provider’s review of your setup. Contact its team to confirm what it will move and when; no completion date is guaranteed here.
An included migration service does not remove overlapping subscriptions, your review time or specialist tools you retain. Calculate payback including those costs. GrowthBudget does not handle the move or receive account credentials.
What should you choose?
Start with the lowest tier that supports your actual requirements. A small list alone does not mean Free will fit: two courses exceed its one-course allowance, and an automated webinar requirement starts at Webinar. If the replacement misses a critical feature, keeping your current setup may be the better decision.
Use the complete plan checklist or review the provider handoff.
Questions before you pay
Prices and capacity limits were checked on against the official detailed comparison table. Migration eligibility was last reviewed on 25 September 2026 against the official migration help. We use detailed limits when promotional summaries differ. This is a dated snapshot, not a live quote. See our calculation method and scope.
