Same MID routing, a flat price
Checkout Champ takes a share of every sale. ElasticFunnels charges a flat monthly plan.
Checkout Champ's Growth plan is "$300 /mo + 1%" of gross sales processed through the platform. Its split tests send visitors from a split slug to variant pages with their own slugs, and ATRI "only handles the initial sale and does not route recurring billings".
ElasticFunnels starts at $97 a month and charges 0.5% only on orders through an EF-run gateway. Variants are served under one URL and decided on sales, and 6 routing rules spread orders across your MIDs with a cascade on soft declines.
Every order is tied to its ad and page variant and posted back server-side to Meta, Google Ads and TikTok. See checkout and MID routing.
