The original sales funnel builder, still aggressively marketed to course creators
Short answer: Not technically — but it's complicated.
ClickFunnels isn't a "scam" in the criminal sense — it's a real company with real software — but the complaint record raises serious questions about its sales practices, billing, and the gap between what's advertised and what's delivered.
The strongest "this feels like a scam" signals tend to come from one of two places: marketing claims that don't match reality, or billing practices that make leaving harder than joining. Below are the 2 flags in those two categories we've documented for ClickFunnels.
The single most common BBB complaint against ClickFunnels: users go through the in-app cancellation flow, see a confirmation, then continue to get billed $97 or more monthly for as long as a year. Resolution typically requires multiple support emails and, in many cases, a bank dispute.
"Cancelled in May. Got billed in June, July, August, September. Support kept asking me to 'confirm my account' to the same email I'd been using to log in."
Funnel Hacking Live and the broader event ecosystem use classic high-pressure sales scripts — timer-driven offers, social proof manipulation, escalating bundle upsells. Many attendees describe walking away with multiple subscriptions they didn't intend to buy, and refunds for these upsells are notoriously difficult to obtain.
