Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Elementor
Landing pages built inside WordPress
Elementor is a visual builder for WordPress, so the landing page and the site it belongs to are the same installation rather than two subscriptions pointing at each other. Templates, a theme builder and dynamic content come on the cheapest plan. Popups, custom CSS and the ecommerce widgets arrive one tier up. Everything here assumes WordPress is already running somewhere, and the hosting bill is separate from this one.
Our note
Budget for Advanced Solo rather than Essential, because popups and custom CSS are the two things a landing page tends to need and the gap between the tiers is two dollars a month. Remember the hosting is separate: this is a plugin, and the total cost of a WordPress landing page is this plus a host.

Systeme.io
Funnels, email and courses on one free plan
Systeme.io bundles funnels, an email list, a course platform and an affiliate program into one account, and the free plan carries 2,000 contacts with no transaction fee. That combination costs several hundred a month elsewhere. Every individual piece is plainer than the tool that specialises in it, and the page editor is the weakest of them.
