Four plans, one honest question: how far can you get on $0? Further than you think — here are the real limits.

Systeme.io's pricing looks simple — four plans, one page — but the real question is when the free plan stops being enough. Here's the honest breakdown for 2026, including the limits nobody highlights.

What "free forever" actually includes

The limits that actually bite

Upgrade trigger: you crossed 1,500+ contacts (growing toward the cap) or need a 4th funnel. Until then, the $17 Startup plan is money you don't need to spend.

Annual discount

Paying yearly cuts roughly 30%: Startup lands near $228/year. Only commit annually after the free plan has proven the platform fits your workflow.

●  Check the limits yourself

Start free — upgrade only when revenue asks.

2,000 contacts and 3 funnels is a real runway. Most creators take months to outgrow it.

FAQ

Does the free plan expire?

No. It's free forever, no credit card required.

What happens if I downgrade from a paid plan?

Your data stays; contacts above the free cap are archived, not deleted.

Are there transaction fees?

0% on all plans — you only pay Stripe/PayPal processing.
