I'm familiar with landing pages and sales funnels...It's
easier than ever with OptimizePress 3.0. I produced a landing page in
less than 30 minutes from scratch and without reading any instructions.
Hey, if a 72 year old can do this - you can.

ConvertKit is an Autoresponder platform that offers a range of features that include:
ConvertKit is designed as an email autoresponder service with basic landing page building functionality. In our testing, we've found the platform very limited when building pages and is not dedicated platform for landing page creation.
Both OptimizePress and ConvertKit offer page building solutions. However, the key difference between both is:
ConvertKit Is an Email Autoresponder. OptimizePress is a Landing Page Builder.
This means every page you build with OptimizePress belongs to you and have complete flexibility and control over your business assets.
We are also a dedicated platform focused solely on page creation. This means we specialise in being the best landing page software solution in the market and pride ourselves with being one of the very first companies to do so.
With ConvertKit, it is an Email Marketing platform. This means it is solely used as an email management solution and isn't designed mainly for building landing pages.
So in short, if you want the best in page creation, as well as complete control over your business, then OptimizePress may be the software solution for you. However, we understand that to get a better idea of what's on offer, the aim of this page is to help inform you of the features for each and make the best decision in your business moving forward.
In this feature comparison we look at why Optimizepress is the best alternative to Convertkit. These are the key marketing features you should look for with any landing page builder or marketing site builder.

ConvertKit might be an Email service, but this comes with tradeoffs. OptimizePress is a dedicated landing page platform (with more flexibility)
All of our plans are charged yearly as one simple fee. This covers your product access, updates, support and gives you everything you need (Just add your own hosting)
As we run on the WordPress framework, you install OptimizePress on your own hosting, meaning you maintain full control of your site and it's content
Our OptimizeBuilder platform is a super easy way to create and edit your landing pages, sales pages and membership sites.
While we don't recommend loading your site with hundreds of plugins, WordPress has 1000's of options for you to add almost any kind of functionality you need
Even if you opt for the Complete plan, you'll still pay $101 more per year with ConvertKit pricing vs our top tier Suite plan (currently $199)
As with all SaaS hosted platforms, you will lose your content if you cancel their subscription. Even if you cancel your OP plan your content still remains on your site.
The ConvertKit landing page editor is clunky and hard to use if you want to do any major customization to your pages.
As ConvertKit is an Email platform. Pages can only be created with the purpose to capture email addresses and can't be used for other purposes.
OptimizePress is the industry standard for website page builders, beautiful and high-converting page templates, membership plugins and the ongoing development of WordPress tools and training for its members. I love it!
