Stakk vs Systeme.io
Systeme.io is free at 0% until your list or sales outgrow it.
The short answer
Systeme.io costs less per sale. It takes 0% on every plan, the free plan too, so a sale costs only your payment gateway's fee. Stakk charges from 10% + $0.50 per sale, card processing included.
The catch is the free plan's limits. Payments stop once you pass 2,000 contacts, or once your sales reach $10,000 in total, until you upgrade. Stakk has no monthly fee at any size, and it only charges when you sell.

- You want the lowest cost per sale. Systeme.io takes 0% on every plan, the free plan too. You only pay your payment gateway's fee.
- You want everything in one account. Systeme.io has email marketing, sales funnels, courses, communities, subscriptions, a blog and a booking calendar. Stakk does none of these. It has no subscriptions, no memberships, no course player, no booking calendar and no file hosting, and every price is one-off, $1 to $999.

- You sell physical things. Systeme.io sells physical goods too, with cash on delivery as a payment option. Stakk is for digital products only.
Who should pick Stakk over Systeme.io?
- You don't want limits to stop your sales. On Systeme.io's free plan, payments stop once you pass 2,000 contacts, or once your sales reach $10,000 in total, until you upgrade. On a paid plan, going over the contact limit moves you up a plan by itself, such as from $17 to $47 a month. Stakk has no monthly fee, so there is no plan to outgrow.
- You want a bump and an upsell without counting them. Both are on every Stakk account. Systeme.io's free plan has one of each, and more come with paid plans.
- You keep your files where they are. Paste a share link from Google Drive, Dropbox or Notion. The moment a buyer pays, Stakk emails them that link with a receipt.
- You want one simple store, not a whole system. Your store is one link, stakk.store/yourname, built for phones. Buyers need no account. They give a name and an email, pay by card, and get the download by email.
