Gohighlevel SaaS Pricing: Unveiling the Best Plans for Your Business

Introduction

Here, we work with growing businesses and digital agencies every day. One challenge comes up again and again:

too many tools, too many subscriptions, and too much wasted time.

CRM here. The email platform is there. Funnel builder, booking tool, and SMS software are fully talking to each other.

That’s where GoHighLevel stands out.

But before adopting any platform, the most common question we hear is:

“What does GoHighLevel cost, and which plan actually makes sense for my business?”

This guide breaks down GoHighLevel SaaS pricing for 2026, explains what each plan includes, and helps you decide which option delivers the best ROI based on real-world use cases we see at Techvoot Solutions.

Why pricing matters in 2026 (and why most agencies overpay without realizing it)

At Techvoot Solutions, we see the same problem across marketing agencies and growth-focused businesses in 2026:

• Too many disconnected tools (CRM, email, SMS, funnels, booking, automation)
• Duplicate spend across platforms
• “Integration tax” (Zapier workarounds, webhooks, patchy reporting)
• Slow execution because teams are learning 6 dashboards instead of 1

HighLevel (commonly called GoHighLevel / GHL) is built to eliminate that stack sprawl by consolidating core marketing ops into one platform. The real buying decision isn’t just “$97 vs $297 vs $497”—it’s:

1. Which plan supports your delivery model (services vs SaaS)
2. What is your true operating cost after usage-based fees (phone/SMS/email)
3. Whether the plan removes constraints that block scaling (sub-accounts, rebilling, API tier)

This guide breaks down all of that cleanly.

What is GoHighLevel? A functional overview

HighLevel is an all-in-one platform that combines the main building blocks a marketing agency or sales-driven business needs:

Core platform modules (high-level map)

• CRM & Pipelines: (contacts, opportunities, stages, tasks)
• Marketing Automation: (workflows, triggers, multi-step sequences)
• Messaging & Conversations: (SMS, calls, voicemail, email, inbox)
• Funnels / Landing Pages / Websites: (drag-and-drop builders)
• Calendars & Appointment Booking: (scheduling + reminders)
• Reputation Management: (review requests, monitoring)
• Reporting & Analytics: (attribution + performance views; depth varies by setup)
• White-label + SaaS Reselling (on Pro/SaaS plan): (sell it as your own software)

GoHighLevel Pricing Plans (2026): Full breakdown by plan

Plan 1: Agency Starter: $97/month

Best for: freelancers, solopreneurs, small businesses, agencies with a small client roster

What you get (confirmed by HighLevel)

• Up to 3 sub-accounts (client workspaces/locations)
• Unlimited contacts & unlimited users (team members)
• Core “all-in-one” set includes:
  • booking & calendars
  • pipelines
  • website builder
  • lead capture + follow-up basics

What Starter is actually good for (Techvoot Solutions view)

Starter is ideal if:

• You serve 1–3 clients (or 1–3 business units)
• You want a single workspace for your own brand + a couple of client accounts
• You’re proving demand before scaling delivery systems

Where Starter becomes limiting (the real constraint)

The limitation isn’t features as much as growth mechanics:

• Once you exceed 3 sub-accounts, you must upgrade or remove accounts.
• Agency scaling usually requires templated onboarding across many client workspaces. Starter caps that.

Plan 2: Agency Unlimited — $297/month

Best for: growing agencies, consultants managing multiple clients, teams that need scalable client onboarding

What you get (confirmed by HighLevel)

• Unlimited sub-accounts (scale clients without account caps)
• Includes everything in Starter
• API access (HighLevel lists API access on Unlimited)
• Branded desktop app/custom domains + look & feel control (listed in plan marketing page)
• Rebilling without markup is available on Unlimited (important for agencies passing through usage costs)

What “Unlimited” really means (so nobody gets surprised)

HighLevel uses the word “Unlimited” mainly to mean:

• unlimited sub-accounts (big one)
• unlimited users & contacts (also big)

It does not mean:

• unlimited SMS
• unlimited email sending
• unlimited call minutes

Those are typically usage-billed (more on that below).

Why most agencies land here (Techvoot Solutions logic)

Unlimited is the “agency scaling plan” because it eliminates the biggest bottleneck:

• You can productize onboarding
• Add clients continuously
• Avoid per-client software cost increases

Plan 3: Agency Pro / SaaS Mode — $497/month

Best for: agencies that want to sell software (SaaS) under their own brand + create recurring revenue

What you get (confirmed by HighLevel plan details)

Pro includes everything in Unlimited plus:

• SaaS Mode (resell the platform as your own software)
• Unlimited SaaS accounts (sell multiple tiers/packages)
• Rebilling with markup (charge clients more than your cost)
• Split testing (conversion optimization capability)
• Advanced API access (officially differentiated from basic access)

What SaaS Mode means in real business terms

Instead of only selling “marketing services,” you can sell:

• “Techvoot CRM + Automation Suite” (your branded platform)
• Packaged subscriptions (e.g., Starter / Growth / Pro)
• Add-on revenue (phone, email, AI, workflows, onboarding packages)

This is why SaaS Mode often increases:

• perceived value
• retention
• predictable MRR

HighLevel explicitly describes SaaS mode as enabling agencies to resell a branded platform and expand recurring revenue.

Quick pricing reference table (2026)

Hidden costs & add-ons (the part most “pricing guides” skip)

1. Phone/SMS: LC Phone & usage billing

HighLevel supports telephony via the LC Phone system, and the costs are usage-based.

HighLevel’s official LC Phone Pricing guide states

• LC Phone pricing aligns with Twilio pricing (same amount).
• The guide covers number costs, SMS/MMS, voice rates, carrier fees, and rebilling options.

Practical budgeting rule (Techvoot Solutions)

If you use SMS heavily (lead nurture, missed-call text back, appointment reminders):

• Your platform fee might be $97–$497.
• but messaging + calls can add $50–$200+ depending on volume and markets

Tip: high-volume messaging also introduces compliance work (A2P, opt-ins). Always plan for operational setup time.

2. Email sending: usage fees + “wallet” model

HighLevel uses a wallet-style usage billing model for certain services, meaning you pay based on consumption rather than a fixed bundle.

From HighLevel’s pricing guide:

• They emphasize charging “only for what you use,” unlike bundled SMS/email packages.
• They also list LC Email pricing in that guide (example: per 1,000 emails).

3. Rebilling differences (huge for agencies)

This is where many agencies choose the wrong plan.

HighLevel’s pricing guide states:

• Rebilling without markup → Unlimited ($297)
• Rebilling with markup → Pro ($497)

Why this matters

If you want to pass through costs transparently (no margin):

• Unlimited may be enough.

If you want to turn usage into margin (common SaaS play):

• Pro is the plan that enables markup rebilling.

4. Integrations (Zapier, external subscriptions)

HighLevel integrates with many systems, but advanced workflows may require:

• Paid Zapier tier
• Paid email domains/services
• Industry tools (accounting, ecom, webinar platforms)

This isn’t “HighLevel charging more,” it’s your broader automation ecosystem cost.

GoHighLevel vs Buying Separate Tools

A typical “tool stack” looks like:

• CRM
• Email automation
• Funnel / landing pages
• Appointment scheduling
• SMS & calling
• Reputation & reviews

When purchased separately, businesses usually land in the $300–$900/month range, depending on tiers and scale (sometimes more for enterprise CRMs).

HighLevel’s value proposition is bundling the core stack + reducing integration complexity, while keeping usage-based channels (SMS/phone/email) metered.

Decision framework (Techvoot Solutions): choose the right plan fast

Choose Starter ($97) if:

• You need up to 3 sub-accounts
• You’re validating your service offer
• You want a low-cost entry into an all-in-one stack

Choose Unlimited ($297) if:

• You need unlimited client accounts
• Your agency is onboarding 4+ clients (or will soon)
• You want pass-through rebilling without markup

Choose Pro/SaaS ($497) if:

• You want to resell software under your brand (SaaS Mode)
• You want rebilling with markup
• You need advanced API access
• You want a SaaS-style multi-tier subscription model for clients

Money-Saving Tips

1. Annual Billing

Many users report that annual billing reduces the effective monthly cost (often framed as “~2 months free”). This varies, and HighLevel’s official public pricing pages focus more on monthly pricing, so treat exact discount percentages as subject to change and confirm inside the billing portal.

2. Consolidate Immediately (the Fastest ROI Lever)

The fastest way to justify the subscription:

• Migrate funnels
• Unify CRM + pipeline
• Move booking + reminders
• Replace at least 2–4 tools quickly

3. Use Templates / Snapshots for Faster Onboarding

This is the operational “secret sauce”:

• Standardize your client setup
• Reuse workflows and funnels
• Reduce time per onboarding

4. Don’t Ignore Usage Optimization

Since phone, SMS, and email can be usage-billed:

• Tighten segmentation
• Remove unnecessary automations
• Track message length and segments

Real-World ROI Examples

These aren’t promises, just realistic models Techvoot Solutions uses for planning.

A. Freelancer on Starter ($97)

• 3 clients
• Charge ₹40k–₹80k / month per client (or $500–$1,000 equivalent)
• Software cost is fixed at $97; usage varies

Core idea: One client typically pays for the platform.

B. Growing Agency on Unlimited ($297)

• 10–20 clients
• Charge a monthly retainer + automation setup fees
• Unlimited sub-accounts enable scale without more base subscription cost

C. SaaS-Style Agency on Pro ($497)

• Sell 3 SaaS packages (e.g., Basic / Growth / Pro)
• Use rebilling with a markup for the margin on usage
• Higher retention because clients “live inside” the software you provide

Final Decision: Is GoHighLevel Worth It in 2026?

For most agencies and automation-heavy businesses, the value comes from three areas:

1. Stack consolidation (replace multiple tools)
2. Operational speed (one platform, fewer integrations)
3. Revenue model upgrade (especially with SaaS Mode + rebilling capabilities)
