Format vs Systeme.io: Which is a better fit?

Mathew: Hi, I'm Matthew. I am a photographer. I give Format four stars out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before I settled on format, I looked at a few other options. The only one that I really tried in earnest was Squarespace, which came highly recommended, very beautiful, it was just a little bit outside my price point. And I really liked the ease of use of Format, compared to Squarespace, and the fact that it came in within my budget. I chose format because it provided just what I needed at the time. I was looking for something fairly simple, so I came in at a level which allowed me to have the galleries that I needed, just an attractive web presence, and something that was fairly easy to use. I like being able to get in and get started fairly quickly, without too much mucking around. I did also really like the fact that I had the option for HTML customization, so that I could come in, and where I wanted to, I could tweak and update and add a bit more functionality to the galleries or to the pages that I was offering to my clients. That was a really appealing at functionality to me, of Format. And again, it came in at a good price point for me. Getting started with Format was actually quite painless. There's always obviously a bit of time you have to invest when you go into a platform, but Format made it pretty easy to get started, to get going, to get things up and running. And their customer service, I didn't use the customer service directly many times, but when I did, they were really very responsive and very helpful. And I found that, compared to where I had used Squarespace beforehand, I found myself getting a bit lost in that environment. Format, I didn't have that problem. For anyone who is thinking about using Format, I would definitely say they're worth a look. There's obviously a lot of products to consider when you're making a decision like this, but Format's definitely one I would put in the list of things to consider. Jump In, they offer a trial, so you can come in and have a look for free, to see what you like, and to see if it works for you. I guess that would be my recommendation. Just try it. It's definitely worth having a look. They've got some really nice templates, they're fairly easy to use, and their customer service is very good.

Petra: Hi, my name is Petra. I'm a personal trainer and health coach. And I give Systeme.io a rating of four out of five. For more reviews, please click below. Before using Systeme.io I was utilizing ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign, which are two separate platforms. And I wouldn't necessarily say problem, but the thing with them was that they're very expensive for beginners. They are probably really great when you have an established business and turn over a greater amount, but for starters, it's a little bit of a complicated platform with a lot of options that are not really necessary for the beginner user. The main reason why I ended up choosing Systeme.io is the cost. It is a lot less expensive than ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign that I had used before. A lot of my colleagues have switched to Systeme.io. I think also mainly for the reason of the less cost. So yeah, that's it. And everything is compiled in one program rather than having to utilize two different platforms. At first, when I started Systeme.io, it felt a little bit overwhelming, but the thing is, the company actually helped me migrate my information from ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaigns. So it was really pain-free to transfer all the information over. And one thing I really want to point out is the customer service at Systeme.io is excellent. I felt that I really was bugging my customer service representative with a lot of questions, and he was right there to answer any of my concerns in a super timely manner. So the transfer was quite pain-free. I would recommend for anybody to start Systeme.io or transferred from another company to start with the free version of it and take a good look around if that is what you really need and what you can utilize. I've noticed there are a few features that are not yet available on Systeme.io that I had before. It's probably just a matter of being used to those, and now I cannot utilize them, such as goals that I had in ClickFunnels before that, they are not available yet. Systeme.io is a new company up and running from what I understand, so they're really working hard to get up to and beyond what the regular standards are. So again, before you switch, I would definitely make sure, take advantage of the free version, take a good look around. And then see for yourself actually how easy it is to use it once you get into it.
