 "summary": "Interactive funnel builder: quizzes, calculators, assessments and payment pages with built-in email sequences, a CRM for the leads they capture, A/B testing between two versions, and an AI funnel builder metered in AI credits. Free tier to start; paid tiers are priced by the number of live funnels.",
 "best_for": "marketers building interactive lead-gen — quizzes, calculators, assessments and payment funnels with built-in email sequences — who want a free tier to validate the concept first",
 "skip_if": "you just need a simple form (lighter tools do that free), or you don’t yet have the traffic to feed an interactive funnel",
 "honest_knock": "The tier pages sell live funnels, but the meter that empties first is contacts. Start collects 300 contacts a month against 10,000 funnel visits — so a funnel converting at 3% hits the contact ceiling and the visit ceiling in the same week, and the next 200 contacts cost €8.33 on top. Those two meters appear only in the in-app comparison table; the public table publishes the AI-credit allowance but not visits or contacts. The free plan is documented in exactly one place, and not where you would look for it: the pricing FAQ caps it at 50 submissions or 500 visits a month and warns that your funnels lock until the next calendar month if you hit that without upgrading, while the plan cards say nothing at all about what it includes. We measured that part — 2 live funnels, involve.me branding, no team seats — and you only learn it by hitting the wall, because a free account has no usage panel: “Plans & Billing” goes straight to the upgrade page. And the honest fundamental for any interactive-funnel tool: quizzes and calculators convert traffic you already have — they don't create it, so validate on the free plan before the subscription outruns the pipeline.",

  "notes": "(re-verified 19 September 2026 on the public pricing page; the free plan's feature set was measured inside the product, because the plan cards still do not state it) There is a free plan, and this is what it actually gives: 2 live funnels, publishing on a daanV.involve.me subdomain (or one of ten alternatives such as quizzes.cx, forms.ac and calculators.cx), the AI funnel builder, and involve.me branding on every page. No team seats at all. The pricing FAQ does publish the number that decides when it runs out: a free account runs to 50 submissions or 500 visits a month, and if you reach that without upgrading your funnels lock until the next calendar month starts. Paid, per person per month, annual against monthly: Start $29 / $49 with 3 live funnels and 1 user, Grow $69 / $99 with 5 funnels and 2 users, Scale $139 / $199 with 25 funnels, 5 users, A/B testing and lead verification. Enterprise is from $499/mo on annual contracts only. In the app the same tiers are priced in euros — €29, €69, €139 — and the annual toggle says “save up to 41%” where the public page says 40%. Two meters that decide more than the funnel count does are still missing from the tier pages: funnel visits a month (10,000 / 25,000 / 100,000) and contacts collected a month (300 / 1,000 / 3,000); the AI-credit allowance (50 / 100 / 300) is on the public comparison table. Each is toppable: +5,000 visits €8.33, +200 contacts €8.33, +250 AI credits €7.50, +1 seat €7.50, +5 live funnels €7.50. Prices exclude EU VAT. Every tier is higher than at the 17 Jul 2026 reading, when Start was $19/mo annual and $29 month-to-month.",

    "what": "We ran the free plan ourselves rather than describing the paid tiers from the pricing page. Daan created the account; everything after that was measured in the product — funnels built and published one by one until the walls appeared, with the wall text copied out word for word. involve.me contributed nothing to this test: no account, no briefing, no sight of the draft. We do carry an affiliate link to them, disclosed on this page, and the test was run on the free plan we signed up for ourselves.",
    "findings": [
     "The free plan allows exactly 2 live funnels. We published two, and the third stopped with: “You have reached your limit of 2 live funnels. Please end any live funnels or upgrade your plan to publish more funnels.” The dialog puts an Upgrade plan button next to Publish now.",
     "A second user is not a paid extra on free, it is nothing at all: “You don't have any team member seats on your plan. Upgrade for more.” There is no referral credit or trial seat.",
     "The AI funnel builder works on the free plan, and it is the real product. One sentence — “build a 4-question quiz that helps a marketer pick a CRM” — produced a five-page funnel with a theme applied, questions, scoring and a result page, and it asked for approval before each risky edit. The comparison table lists “Create funnels with AI” as a Start-plan benefit, so this is more generous than the tier pages suggest.",
     "A free account has no usage panel. “Plans & Billing” in the account menu goes straight to the upgrade page: no current plan, no counters, no AI-credit balance. You cannot find out what you have left; you discover a limit by hitting it.",
     "Free publishing gives you a real subdomain and a choice of ten: daanV.involve.me plus quizzes.cx, forms.ac, calculators.cx, assessments.cx, tests.cx, surveys.so, feedback.ac, funnels.cx, researched.cx and paynow.cx. Every page carries involve.me branding; removing it is a paid step the share screen labels PRO, while the plan is actually called Grow.",
     "The in-app comparison table publishes limits the public pricing page does not: funnel visits a month (10,000 / 25,000 / 100,000), contacts collected a month (300 / 1,000 / 3,000), file storage, embeds, payment accounts, and the price of every top-up. If you are sizing a plan, that table is the one to read.",
     "Prices differ by surface: the public page quotes $29 / $69 / $139 and “Save up to 40%”, the in-app upgrade screen quotes €29 / €69 / €139 and “Save up to 41%”.",
     "Onboarding is compulsory and is itself an involve.me funnel embedded in the app — four questions, carrying the “Made with involve.me” badge. You cannot reach the builder until you finish it. One of the answer options for “How did you discover involve.me?” is “AI - Claude”."
