(Note: The relationship between Funnelish and ClickFunnels has completely changed since this question was asked in 2021.)
April 2026 Updates: Do You Need ClickFunnels?
To answer the original question directly: No, you absolutely do not need to buy ClickFunnels to use Funnelish today. In fact, the landscape has completely shifted, and the old way of combining the two platforms is obsolete.
What’s Changed & Deprecated
- ClickFunnels is Deprecated: We no longer support ClickFunnels. Historically, Funnelish started as a suite of apps and plugins designed to “fix” and enhance ClickFunnels 1.0. That legacy integration is now completely deprecated and unsupported.
- No More “Bridging”: You no longer need to pay for a clunky, expensive third-party page builder just to get a high-converting checkout experience.
The Modern Funnelish Platform (v2)
As of 2026, Funnelish is a 100% standalone, all-in-one funnel builder. When you sign up for Funnelish today, you get everything you need natively built-in:
- Page Builder: A lightning-fast, drag-and-drop visual editor to build your landing pages, advertorials, and sales pages.
- Native Checkouts: High-converting, fully customizable order forms that sync directly with modern payment APIs like PayPal and Stripe.
- 1-Click Upsells & Automations: Native OTOs, downsells, order bumps, and email automations - no external scripts or plugins required.
- Direct E-commerce Integrations: Native, instant order routing to fulfillment platforms like Shopify.
The Bottom Line
You only need a Funnelish subscription. You build, host, and run your entire sales process directly within the Funnelish dashboard.
