Articles Ecommerce Comparisons

Funnelish is focused on building high-converting funnels, while GemPages offers more flexibility in custom page design.

Here’s my verdict:

Funnelish is better for fast testing, paid ad funnels, and increasing average order value (AOV). GemPages is best if you want full control over your Shopify store’s layout and design.

Let’s break down exactly why, based on my hands-on experience.

HubSpot is far from the only CRM I’ve tested over the years, but it’s one of the few that manages to be easy to use and comprehensive at the same time. Set it up, and within weeks, you can get to a point where your store is practically running itself.

HubSpot’s loop marketing tools bring in qualified leads. Sales automation handles follow-ups you used to forget. Customer data, email engagement, and purchase history finally live in one place.
