FunnelStreams vs SharpSpring · 2026 comparison
Before replacing your marketing automation, map what it actually does.
SharpSpring is known for marketing automation, lead nurturing and agency use. Current product packaging has changed under Constant Contact. FunnelStreams offers a broader online-business setup, but don't assume every historical SharpSpring report and workflow will transfer.

When SharpSpring makes sense
It's a good option if…
Keep your existing system if specialized lead scoring, reporting and agency automations are working well and would be costly to rebuild.
The FunnelStreams difference
You're not starting from zero.
You get a platform for running your business, plus prebuilt BizFlows and access to resources that help you put the pieces together. The exact BizFlows, training and services depend on your plan.
What is a BizFlow?
The business setup is already mapped out.
Most platforms give you tools. Then you've got to decide which pages to build, how to organize contacts and which messages should go out when someone signs up or buys.
A BizFlow is a prebuilt starting system for a specific kind of business. It brings the relevant funnels, forms, CRM structure, tags and follow-up automations together. You add your branding, offers and details, then review and test the steps.
It's not a promise that every business will be fully built or that results happen without work. It's a head start on the setup.
A simple example
- 1Someone visits your page and fills out a form
- 2Their details go into your CRM with the right tags
- 3A welcome or follow-up message is triggered
- 4They can book, buy or take your next step
- 5You can see the relationship and follow up
In practice
What that looks like for a real business
A small service business with simple forms, follow-up and appointment scheduling may get value from a prebuilt FunnelStreams BizFlow instead of maintaining a specialized marketing setup.

The help behind the tools
You shouldn't have to figure out every step alone.
Software companies often provide tutorials, support or paid onboarding. Some have excellent training. But depending on your starting point, you may still end up hiring someone, taking another course or piecing together a setup from several sources. FunnelStreams is designed to bring the business tools, prebuilt starting points and education closer together.
Schools and learning
Practical training across the FunnelStreams ecosystem, including business, funnels and AI content. School access depends on the plan you buy.
Guidance and community
Resources for learning and getting help as you build. Check the current offer for specific sessions, support and done-for-you services.
Let's talk about cost
SharpSpring's pricing depends on the plan and choices you make. We haven't listed a fixed price here because it wouldn't be a reliable comparison.
The monthly price matters, but so do setup time, extra subscriptions, training, outside help, contact limits and usage charges. You don't automatically save money by picking the cheaper headline price.

Our honest take
Which would we choose?
The sensible choice depends on your current contract and workflows. FunnelStreams isn't a guaranteed one-click replacement for a complex SharpSpring installation.
Questions people ask before switching
Is SharpSpring still a standalone product?+
I can't confirm its exact current standalone pricing and packaging. Check your contract and the vendor's current offer.
Can I import all my workflows?+
Don't assume that. Map fields, triggers, scoring and reports first.
Why consider FunnelStreams?+
For a broader operating system and prebuilt starting points, especially if your current setup needs several separate tools.
See what you can start with.
Look at the FunnelStreams plans, the BizFlows and the training that comes with your choice. You'll be able to judge whether it's a better fit for how you actually run your business.
