The systeme.io free plan: what you get, and the limits

What the free plan includes

According to systeme.io's pricing page, the free plan includes:

• Up to 2,000 contacts
• Unlimited email sends
• 3 sales funnels
• 1 blog
• 1 course
• 1 affiliate program
• 1 custom domain
• 1 automation rule and 1 email campaign

systeme.io also says every plan includes unlimited sub-accounts, 0% transaction fees and "the same set of core tools".

It never expires

systeme.io says the free plan "never expires and does not require a credit card". It is not a time-limited trial: you can stay on it for as long as your business fits within its limits.

The limits that matter most

For most freelancers starting out, two limits decide when you outgrow the free plan:

• Contacts: the free plan stops at 2,000. systeme.io's plans are "based primarily on contact limits".
• Automation: the free plan includes 1 automation rule and 1 email campaign. If you want several separate email sequences, for example one for each product, you will reach this limit before the contact limit.

Funnels (3) and courses (1) are the other limits to watch if you sell more than one thing.

Who the free plan suits

systeme.io's own advice is simple: "Under 2,000 contacts: use the free plan. It costs nothing and covers most needs." For a freelancer with a portfolio site, a newsletter and one offer, that usually means you can run on the free plan for a long time.
