Why I Decided to Compare ClickFunnels 2.0 and Classic
Having used Classic ClickFunnels for years, I was naturally curious—and skeptical—when ClickFunnels 2.0 was released. Could it really be that much better? After spending considerable time working with both, I’m ready to break down the real differences. This side-by-side review of ClickFunnels 2.0 vs Classic reveals exactly why ClickFunnels 2.0 is not just an update but a transformation.
User Interface and Speed
One of the most immediate differences between ClickFunnels 2.0 vs Classic is performance. The ClickFunnels 2.0 builder is far more responsive. Classic often lagged when editing complex pages, but ClickFunnels 2.0 loads everything faster. Whether I’m adding sections or modifying templates, ClickFunnels 2.0 outperforms Classic in speed and stability.
Universal Sections vs Static Templates
ClickFunnels 2.0 introduced Universal Sections—something Classic never offered. In Classic, every page had to be updated manually. With ClickFunnels 2.0, I build a section once and reuse it across multiple pages. Need to update your footer? Change it once in ClickFunnels 2.0 and it updates everywhere. That alone has saved me hours.
Automation and Workflows
ClickFunnels 2.0 takes automation to a new level. The visual workflow builder in ClickFunnels 2.0 allows you to set up complex, condition-based automation. Classic had email sequences but lacked advanced logic. With ClickFunnels 2.0, I can build smarter, behavior-driven flows that truly engage and convert.
Blogging Capabilities
Classic ClickFunnels didn’t support blogging. To run content marketing, I had to use a separate WordPress site. Now, ClickFunnels 2.0 includes built-in blogging tools. I can publish, optimize, and promote blog content right inside ClickFunnels 2.0, making it a true all-in-one platform.
CRM and Customer Management
The CRM system in ClickFunnels 2.0 is a massive upgrade. Classic offered basic contact lists, while ClickFunnels 2.0 gives me full visibility into customer actions, tags, segments, and history. This makes personalizing offers and tracking engagement seamless. ClickFunnels 2.0 has made my customer data more actionable than ever before.
Membership and Course Areas
Classic ClickFunnels supported memberships but lacked design flexibility and access control. ClickFunnels 2.0 includes a brand-new Course Builder that’s easier to use and far more customizable. I can now drip content, track lesson completion, and create stunning layouts—all within ClickFunnels 2.0.
E-Commerce Power
When it comes to selling products, ClickFunnels 2.0 wins again. While Classic required integrations for e-commerce, ClickFunnels 2.0 includes native product listings, inventory management, and a modern checkout flow. I can upsell, down-sell, and bundle products directly through ClickFunnels 2.0 without using third-party tools.
Mobile Optimization
ClickFunnels 2.0 does a better job of mobile optimization out of the box. Classic often needed manual tweaks to get mobile pages looking right. With ClickFunnels 2.0, mobile responsiveness is built-in and far more accurate. My bounce rates have dropped since making the switch to ClickFunnels 2.0.
Team Collaboration and Roles
ClickFunnels 2.0 introduces user roles and team collaboration features. In Classic, managing teams was clunky and often unsafe. With ClickFunnels 2.0, I can assign roles, limit access, and collaborate securely. It’s designed with agencies and teams in mind.
