Simvoly is a Bulgarian company that was launched in 2016 after two years of development and testing.
At the moment of writing they have 20,000+ active users as well as 1,000+ partners in 81 countries that are reselling their software around the world.
Although the company markets its software as an all-in-one platform, it seems to be a funnel builder app at its core.
That being said, it comes with a variety of other features, including ecommerce, CRM, and appointment booking functionalities.
Here are some of Simvoly’s most noteworthy features.
Simvoly claims to have the smoothest drag-and-drop page builder ever.
And it’s true that its page editor is indeed super powerful. You can customize your pages any way you want.
No coding skills? No problem!
You can create beautiful pages without knowing any HTML, CSS, or Javascript… Or even knowing what these are.
Also, the pages built with Simvoly are fully responsive, meaning that the page adapts to the device the visitor is using to view it.
That means that your pages will look great on desktop and laptop computers, mobile phones, and tablets.
It’s probably safe to say that flexibility, the main strength of this page builder, is also its main weakness.
While someone with an eye for web design will certainly appreciate it, a person who just wants a page that converts might feel overwhelmed by it.
It can also lead to fixating on details that do not matter.
Okay, you can adjust the border of your opt-in form just the way you like it, but should you be spending time on that? Probably not. But it’s easy to get carried away when you have unlimited freedom.
That’s why here at ClickFunnels, we offer a page builder that is less flexible but helps you stay focused on what matters:
Creating pages that convert.
Web design is not your forte?
Simvoly has a substantial library of templates for websites, online stores, landing pages, and funnels.
You can browse these templates by:
All these beautiful templates provide a ton of value by saving you time and money. No need to build a page from scratch. No need to hire a web designer. Simply pick a template and customize it. Done!
Simvoly claim to have the most powerful funnel builder.
It does have the functionality that you would expect from funnel building software.
You can create a funnel of any size, increase your orders with one-click upsells, set up recurring payments for subscription products, etc.
But “the most powerful funnel builder”?
We wouldn’t go that far.
Sorry.
Simvoly offers white label functionality.
This option might be appealing to marketing agencies because it allows you to make it look like it’s your own platform as opposed to third-party software.
That could certainly help you impress your clients.
It’s also an appealing option to those who like the idea of selling software, but don’t want to build it themselves.
You can start a software company, white label Simvoly, then resell it under your own brand.
We assume that this was what the company is referring to when they talk about having 1,000+ partners in 81 countries.
Simvoly comes with full ecommerce functionality which is rather unusual in the funnel builder space.
To be fair, the company does brand its software as an all-in-one platform, so they aren’t specializing in funnel building (despite claiming to have the most powerful funnel builder out there).
Anyway, it does have the basic features needed to set up an online store, such as the ability to create a product catalog, add product variations, offer discount codes, etc.
There are also features that help you manage your ecommerce business such as order management, shipping rules, tax rules, customer profiles, and so on.
Honestly, though, we don’t know why you would want to use this app to create your online store instead of specialized solutions such as Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, etc.
There’s also customer relationship management (CRM) functionality that allows you to manage all your leads from one place.
It does have the main features that you would expect, such as a dashboard and customer profiles, but it seems super basic.
Again, we don’t know why you would want to use this app instead of specialized solutions such as Keap or HubSpot.
You can use Simvoly to sell online courses.
Create a membership website, add your course content, and then charge either a one-time fee or a subscription for access to it.
Again, the functionality seems basic, so while you could use this app for that, we aren’t sure why you would want to.
Custom checkout functionality allows you to add one-step checkouts to your sales funnels as well as optional bump offers, upsells, and downsells.
These features are certainly useful because all these things tend to increase the conversion rate of a sales funnel when implemented correctly.
You can also use Simvoly to schedule meetings and manage appointments:
And if you provide several different services, you can set up your calendar in a way that allows the potential customer to choose between them.
Also, if you have employees, you can add more operators to your calendar.
Simvoly helps their customers make the most out of their product by offering two types of training:
This educational content can help you get started, but we hope that the company will expand its library in the future.
In comparison, here at ClickFunnels, we have a FunnelFlix platform that offers a wide variety of courses on topics like sales funnels, copywriting, traffic, etc.
Moreover, we know that building a business requires a solid mental game, so we also have content on personal development from luminaries such as Tony Robbinson.
Some people think that we went over the top with educational content, but there’s no such thing as “over the top” when it comes to helping our customers succeed.
This list is not exhaustive. It simply highlights some of the more noteworthy integrations that Simvoly offers.
It seems that the number of native integrations Simvoly offers is quite limited but connector app integrations make up for that.
Simvoly has a somewhat confusing pricing structure.
Here’s a quick overview of the plans on their “Pricing” page:
However, on their “White Label” page, there are three more pricing plans for the white label version of the software:
We aren’t entirely sure if the Growth and Pro plans from the “Pricing” page are the same as “WL Growth” and “WL Pro” plans from the “White Label” page.
Also, if you decide to go the white label route, you can have unlimited customers (projects), but Simvoly will charge an additional monthly fee for each one.
And if you have thousands of customers, you should get in touch with the company to discuss the pricing.
It’s also worth noting that there’s a 14-day no-credit-card-required free trial + a 14-day money-back guarantee for all annual plans.
It’s probably safe to say that the company’s pricing is one of its main selling points because it is super affordable when compared to other funnel building apps (including our own).
That’s more than a 5x difference.
Of course, we do offer more features, such as 20 funnels instead of just one, 100 pages instead of just 20, and so on.
However, we can definitely see how prices this low can be appealing.
That being said, we also believe that it’s important to understand that you get what you pay for, which is something to consider when you are tempted to go with the cheapest option.
You see, we don’t compete on price not only because it’s a bad business practice, but also because it would interfere with our ultimate goal of helping our customers succeed.
Low prices mean low revenue which means fewer resources for developing our software. And we would rather charge more, but offer an amazing app.
So keep in mind that while Simvoly might be one of the cheapest funnel builders on the market, the low price comes with its own disadvantages.
Let’s keep it real:
We are biased when it comes to Simvoly:
Now, we do try to be as objective as we can when reviewing other funnel builder apps, but we still want to encourage you to seek out other opinions.
You can start with this video review:
Let’s be clear:
Growing a company from zero to 20,000+ users and 1,000+ partners in five years is an impressive accomplishment.
However:
We are talking about funnel building software. So does the team behind it knows how to sell online?
Think about it:
Who is more likely to make a better funnel building app?
And this isn’t a business equivalent of an ad hominem (a personal attack). Entrepreneurial experience matters because it informs product development decisions.
Both of our co-founders have been selling online using sales funnels for well over a decade when they launched ClickFunnels.
And then they used sales funnels to grow it to the $100+ million company that it is today.
All that experience has enabled them to create cutting-edge funnel building software that can help you grow your online business explosively.
Don’t take our word for it, though.

Simvoly has an okay funnel building functionality.
However, if you want to build sales funnels that make money, ClickFunnels is a better alternative. That’s what we used to build a $100M+ business 😉
As for the other features, we are sorry to say that Simvoly seem to have fallen into the “Jack of all trades, master of none” trap, which is common for “all-in-one” platforms.
We hope that the company will find its footing in the future, but until then we can’t recommend its software.
We would also like to ask the Simvoly team a question:
Why are they using a website to sell their software??
Their homepage is a website. And websites are dead. Sales funnels are the future.
