Just because you have subscribed to ClickFunnels, it does not mean that you have to pay the full monthly fee if you are not ready or currently using it. One option to consider is to pause your account subscription. If you are not currently able to use the services available in ClickFunnels for whatever reason, I am here to show you how to pause your subscription.
How to pause ClickFunnels account? You need to follow these steps:
- From the main menu of your ClickFunnels account, choose Account Billing.
- Select the option Cancel Account.
- Select the button Cancel Account this time.
- Participate in the survey.
- Select the option Pause Account.
Even though you have paused your ClickFunnels account, you can still enjoy the following benefits:
- Your subdomain is still reserved for you.
- Your pages and funnels are still there waiting for you.
- Your contact lists will still be intact.
- You can choose to resume your subscription anytime.
Do note that pausing your ClickFunnels subscription will disable your pages from being viewed or accessed. Of course, this would be expected if your account is paused versus active.
Pausing your ClickFunnels account is kind of like putting your subscription in a suspended mode. All the things that are included in your account like your subdomains, pages, funnels, and others are still active. The main difference is that you just do not have an editor or access to the app at this time.
I know that you have your reasons as to why you are choosing to pause your subscription.
It could be because you are not actively using this account because you are too busy with other things. Maybe it is because you find ClickFunnels subscription fee unaffordable at the moment.
If you are struggling in any area you can reach out there are 2 main Facebook Groups “ClickFunnels (Official)” and “ClickFunnels Avengers (Affiliates)” for ClickFunnels affiliates. This is where you can get tech support or any other kind of support from fellow funnel builders.
My own personal FaceBook Group “Sales Funnel Insider” is where I share exclusive content with people who are interested in learning more about funnels. It’s a friendly place to connect with like minds.
Let me start by discussing other important things that will happen when you pause your ClickFunnels account.
ClickFunnels Paused Account Pricing
You will still be on the hook to pay a monthly amount even if your ClickFunnels account is paused. It will just cost you $9.99.
I would really suggest that you explore how to get all that you can out of this current subscription. It is a powerful tool with different pricing options that are not advertised on their main page.
The $19 share funnels have limitations as you only get 10 landing pages, get to use 3 funnels at a time, and are limited to 5,000 visitors per month.
You can begin by checking out the ClickFunnels special offer. You do have the options to downgrade your account or cancel ClickFunnels outright to save on fees.
Pausing your account does not do any good for your wallet. You are still paying for it, but in the meantime, you should figure out the missing pieces of information on why you are not converting in your funnel. Every business has tools and you definitely need a sales funnel.
Downgrading Your ClickFunnels Account
When downgrading, you will be choosing the plan that is cheaper compared to what you are currently subscribed into. If you are on the Etison Suite plan at $297, you can downgrade your subscription to the $97 plan.
You have to follow the steps below to downgrade your plan.
- From the main menu of your ClickFunnels account, choose Account Billing.
- You have to move through the choices and select the Choose A Different Plan option.
- Select the plan that you want to downgrade into.
There is an option to use share funnels as well which is a plan that costs $19 per month. You only get 10 landing pages, get to use 3 funnels at a time, and are limited to 5,000 visitors per month. If you need to start small this is the way to go. The price is less than $10 more than the cost of pausing it, and your funnels are functional instead of just frozen.
Another secret option you have is to downgrade your account to get the $37 per month ClickFunnels plan. The way you are offered this option is when you attempt to cancel your subscription and you are then given the option to downgrade to this plan.
That is a super ninja move by Russell Brunson to keep you on as a ClickFunnels user.
There are of course limitations on this plan as you only get 20 landing pages, get to use 5 funnels at a time, and are limited to 5,000 visitors per month.

Reasons Why People May Want to Pause Their ClickFunnels Account
Sometimes people get started with ClickFunnels by being sold the relative ease of success that comes with promoting this service. That is where they will find out relatively quickly that some things are harder than previously told. That is the bad side of affiliate marketing. Some marketers are out there to help and some are just out there to help themselves.
I understand the frustrations people have starting a business like this and I understand who I choose to learn strategies from and who to stay away from. My goal is to offer value because I know it will always come back.
It is a big monthly cost to pay if you do not know how to capitalize on the tools you get. Another thing you might be stuck on is just launching your funnels instead of continuously in a learning mindstate. You have to be a doer and go after the next step instead of the step after that one.
