The Groove marketing platform has grown exponentially over the last few years…
However, to continue providing their enhanced features and superior service, they are making significant changes to their platform’s access structure.
Important Changes Coming May 1st
1. Discontinuation of Free Plans:
The free tier of Groove will be removed.
New users will no longer have access to this starting point, and existing free accounts will undergo transformations.
2. Restrictions on Legacy Free Accounts:
After May 1st, if you have a free account, you will retain hosting capabilities for your websites, blogs, memberships, and checkout pages.
However, you will lose the ability to manage or edit these assets unless you transition to a paid plan.
3. Locked Features for Non-subscribers:
Free users will only access affiliate tools.
Essential management features will be locked behind subscription plans priced at:
$99/month for Starter
$199/month for Professional
$299/month for Enterprise
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Offer
In light of these changes, Groove are presenting a never-before-offered Lifetime Access Plan…
Groove have actually offered Lifetime Access plans before (I know becuase I promoted them), usually in the run-up to a major increase in price pr pricing structure, so they’re not being entirely honest about this “never-before-offered” Plan.
But, if you’re interested in securing all core Groove.cm applications at an exceptionally reduced price – but only until the end of this month – click here to see what you get.
There are two Lifetime Access options on offer:
- Core Lifetime ($1,000 one-time payment or 2 x $500 payments) – this plan does not include GrooveBlog, GrooveCart or GrooveWebinar
- Premium+ Lifetime ($2,497 one-time payment or 3 x $997 payments) – this is the entire Groove suite of tools
So you can see that these are not insignificant investments.

My Personal Opinion
Marketing platforms are like clothes – they either fit or they don’t and if they don’t then you don’t use them.
I tried out Groove in its early days and I didn’t like the way their tools worked.
It was a personal thing and many other marketers thought it was a fresh take for a marketing platform and a worthy competitor to Clickfunnels.
Groove has grown hugely since I used it but I was never tempted to buy one of their Lifetime Access Plans, even in the early days when they were being offered for a very low $497.
Later, after bug fixes, upgrades and new tools were added, the Liftime Access Plan was offered for $1,397.
If you were or are someone who is put off by the monthly cost of Clickfunnels (currently $127/mth) or the upcoming Groove price plans, then their Lifetime Access Plan may be worth a good look.
For myself, I found that the monthly fees for Clickfunnels, Groove and Builderall were all more than I was willing to pay.
Clickfunnels is just bad value for money in my opinion.
Groove and Builderall both provide a lot of tools in their suites but I wouldn’t use most of them so there was no point in paying for them.
Builderall changes their prices far too frequently for my liking and you’re not locked into the price you signed up at.
I also hated how their MailingBoss autoresponder worked and I found their tools counter-intuitive to work with but, again, that’s just a personal opinion.
So after years of messing about with several all-in-one marketing platforms, I finally settled on Systeme.
It’s not perfect (no platform is), but it does what I want and in a way that doesn’t have me pulling my hair out (what’s left of it, anyway).
Plus its cost is exceptionally reasonable, something unique in this space.
Groove and Systeme were the only two marketing platforms that offered Lifetime Free accounts but Groove are removing theirs and severely limiting what existing Free account holders can do, come May 1st.
If you’re new to marketing or are only running a small-sized business, then I believe that Systeme is your best option.
Their free account lets you build 1 blog (not WordPress), 1 community, 1 course (videos can be hosted on Systeme), 3 sales funnels, 1 email list (where you can collect up to 2,000 subscribers) and you can send out an unlimited number of emails.
If that’s not enough for your needs or you’re at the point of needing more resources, their Starter (lowest-cost) paid plan is just $27/mth, and you can save 40% on fees by paying annually.
When I was testing out Systeme’s Free Account, I built a course on how to use ChatGPT using that free account
I later built a Master Resell Rights / Affiliate Marketing course on a Starter paid Systeme account which you can learn about here.
If you think that you’ll use all of Groove’s tools, then the Lifetime Access Plan is worth investing in but I’d suggest trying out a Free Account first, whicle they’re still available (before May 1st) so you can get an idea of how theor tools work first.
Otherwise, I’d suggest that you give Systeme a look.
And you can always sign up as an affiliate for free too.
All the best,
