The ClickFunnels alternative you own
Rev Funnels gives you the funnel features people pay hosted platforms for: one-click upsells, a contact list, automations, affiliates and courses. The difference is where it runs: in your own accounts, exported as files you keep.

How the Live Engine works
- Build and export
Design the funnel, switch on the Live Engine and download the ZIP. It includes the pages, the backend, a dashboard and a setup guide.
- Connect your accounts
Upload to Cloudflare Pages, add a database, and paste your Stripe and Resend keys into Cloudflare. About 15 minutes.
- Sell
Buy buttons open Stripe Checkout. Upsells charge the saved card in one click. Leads, orders and emails are handled automatically.
- Watch and improve
The live dashboard shows visitors, orders, revenue and A/B winners. Pull the real rates back into the simulator to plan your next move.
Who should stay on a hosted platform
If you need subscriptions or payment plans today, a full store with shipping and tax rules, a team with separate logins, or someone to call for support, a hosted platform is the better fit. Rev Funnels is for owners who are comfortable connecting three accounts once and would rather own the result.
Questions
Is Rev Funnels a real ClickFunnels alternative?
For building and running sales funnels, yes. It covers funnel pages, order bumps, one-click upsells and downsells, A/B tests, a contact list, email automations, an affiliate program, a course area and analytics. It works differently: instead of renting a hosted account, you export your funnel and run it in your own Cloudflare, Stripe and Resend accounts.
What does it cost to run?
Rev Funnels does not charge a monthly platform fee for exported funnels. You pay the services you connect under their own pricing: Cloudflare for hosting, Stripe for payment processing and Resend for email. Check each provider's current plans.
How do one-click upsells work without a hosted platform?
The export includes the Live Engine, a small backend for Cloudflare Pages. Checkout saves the buyer's card with Stripe; on an upsell page the YES button charges that saved card for the offer. If the bank asks for extra verification, the buyer is sent to a normal checkout for that offer.
What does Rev Funnels not do?
It does not have subscriptions or payment plans built in, a hosted shopping cart with shipping and tax rules, a blog, team seats, or phone support. You handle refunds and taxes in Stripe, and you pay affiliates yourself from the commission report.
Can I move an existing funnel over?
Yes. Screenshot each page and the AI rebuilds its layout with original copy, or start from one of 13 funnel templates and 21 page templates and paste your copy in.
