1How much does GoHighLevel cost in 2026?

3What does GoHighLevel charge for texts, email, calls and WhatsApp?
GoHighLevel SMS pricing, email, calls and WhatsApp are billed from a prepaid wallet that tops itself up from your card.
| What you pay for | Price (US) |
|---|---|
| Text (SMS)Each segment sent or received | $0.00747 |
| Text (SMS)Carrier fee per text sent | $0.0035 to $0.005 |
| Text (SMS)Carrier fee per text received | $0.0025 to $0.01 |

| Text registrationCampaign fee, monthly | $1.50 to $10.50 |

Sources, checked 24 October 2026: Phone System Pricing and Billing Guide (updated 12 October 2026), HighLevel Pricing Guide, WhatsApp Pricing, Billing and Rebilling Guide. The phone guide also shows a struck-through $0.018 a minute for outbound calls. WhatsApp adds a 5% card fee on top of message rates.
What a segment is. About 160 plain characters. Add an emoji or a curly quote and it drops to about 70. A long text with a link is often 2 or 3 segments, and each one is billed.
What texting costs per booked call. A full reminder plan is about 5 texts per booked call: the confirmation, a confirm request, the morning of, 1 hour before, and a no-show text for some. At 1.4 segments that is about 8 cents a call. One call lost to a missed reminder costs far more than a year of those texts, so this is the line to protect, not cut.
The 5% markup. With rebilling on, HighLevel adds 5% to pass-through charges like carrier and registration fees.
4How much does GoHighLevel AI cost in 2026?
GoHighLevel AI Employee pricing is per sub-account. Pay as you go, or pick a plan for each sub-account that uses it.
| AI option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Pay per use | $0 a month | Billed at the model's token cost |
| AI Employee Growth | $50 a month | 1,000 chat replies, 100 voice minutes, unlimited review and content AI |
| AI Employee Unlimited | $97 a month | Unlimited chat and voice AI under fair use |
| Voice AI, pay per use | $0.045 a minute | Plus the voice ($0.015 to $0.17), the model and phone charges |
| Voice AI, all-in models | $0.10 or $0.20 a minute | Speech-to-speech models, phone charges extra |
| Reviews AI | $0.01 | Per AI reply you send |
| Content AI | $0.063 | Per image. $0.0945 per 1,000 words |
| AI workflow steps | $0.01 | Per run (decision maker, translate, summarize) |
| Funnel AI and workflow AI builder | Free | Within daily limits |

What about the new "AI Assistant" plan? Some 2026 videos report a cheaper AI Assistant plan. On 24 October 2026 it was not on the pricing page or in HighLevel's AI pricing article. We will add it when HighLevel lists it.
Skip AI on day one. Build the pipeline and reminders first, then add AI replies once you know what leads ask.
5GoHighLevel white label pricing: what do white label and SaaS Mode cost?
| Add-on or feature | Price |
|---|---|
| SaaS Mode (resell the software with your own billing) | In Agency Pro, $497 |
| White label mobile app | $497 a month |
| Branded client portal app | $49 a month per sub-account |
| HIPAA compliance | $297 a month |
| Premium support | $500 a month |
| SEO tool | $79 a month per sub-account |
| Online listings | $30 a month per sub-account |
| Prospecting tool | $29 a month per sub-account |
| HighLevel Certification | $97 a month |
| WordPress hosting | From $10 a month per site |

Source: gohighlevel.com/pricing, checked 24 October 2026.
The pricing page says you can white-label the web app but does not tie it to a plan. The branded mobile app is a separate $497 a month, or part of Enterprise. A coach does not need any of this. An agency reselling the software needs Agency Pro.
6The true monthly cost calculator
Don't know how many texts you send? Start from your leads and booked calls.
Working it out.
From funnel numbers: 5 texts per lead, 5 per booked call, replies at 15%. Check it against your Wallet after a month.
Want your numbers sent to you?
Leave your email and we will send your bill breakdown, plus the one change we would make first.
We only use this to send your numbers and to follow up about your client acquisition. If you add a mobile, we may call or text you about it.7Which GoHighLevel plan do you need?
Most coaches land on the GoHighLevel Starter plan. Agencies usually move up to rebill usage to clients.
8Is GoHighLevel expensive?
The plan is not. The usage can be. These three bills use today's rates and the calculator's maths. The first uses a real month of texts from a client account we run. None of them is an invoice.
| Bill | Plan | Usage | Total a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Webinar account we run: 19,600 texts sent in 30 days, 1 number, 1 campaign. Texts only, email left out | $97 | $246.26 | $343.26 |
| Solo coach: 1,500 texts, 200 replies, 300 call minutes, 8,000 emails, 1 number, no AI | $97 | $49.66 | $146.66 |
| Agency with 10 clients: 30,000 texts, 3,000 replies, 200,000 emails, 10 numbers, no AI | $297 | $791.65 | $1,088.65 |
The first row prices the account's real send count at one segment per text and the average carrier fee. The other two use example volumes.
Against what it replaces, no. A scheduler, an email tool, a texting app, a page builder and a connector tool often cost more together. Our what is GoHighLevel guide has a tool that prices your current stack against it. Against a lead that never shows up, the bill is small. One extra $5,000 sale pays for over a year of Starter.
For the agency, almost all of the usage can be passed to clients on Unlimited. For a coach, nobody rebills you, so texts are the number to watch. If the bill is fine and calls still do not turn into sales, the software is not your problem. Take two minutes to find the exact bottleneck in your business.
9What do we see in the accounts we run?
The biggest cost we see is failed texts, because a failed reminder is a call that does not show.
When about 10% of sends fail, HighLevel limits the sub-account and blocks the rest of the blast. Only about 1,050 of those failures were real carrier problems. We set 119 dead numbers to do not disturb, moved prices, "only 3 spots left" and bare links to email, and cut the daily send limit from 10,000 to 316 until the error rate settled. The full story is in our GoHighLevel review.
10GoHighLevel vs HubSpot: what does each cost at 2,000 contacts?
HubSpot charges by contacts and seats. GoHighLevel does not. At 2,000 marketing contacts and a team of three:
| GoHighLevel Starter | HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $97 | $890 ($800 paid yearly) |
| Seats included | Unlimited | 3, then $45 each |
| Contacts included | Unlimited | 2,000 marketing contacts |
| Setup fee | None | $3,000 one time, required |
| First year, monthly billing | $1,164 plus usage | $13,680 |
| Texts and calls | Built in, billed by use | Not compared here |
Sources: gohighlevel.com/pricing and hubspot.com/pricing/marketing, checked 23 October 2026. HubSpot's Starter tier is priced per seat with 1,000 contacts; its page showed $7 and $20 a seat a month and did not label the billing period clearly.
HubSpot is the better pick for a large sales team with managers who want deep reporting and a CRM built around many reps. For a coach booking calls, GoHighLevel does the job for a fraction of the price. More options in GoHighLevel alternatives.
11Is the GoHighLevel free trial 14 or 30 days?
14 days on the official pricing page, on any plan. Your card is charged when it ends unless you cancel. The GoHighLevel 30 day trial is offered through partner links that pay the person who shares them. We do not use those links. If you want the longer trial, it is the same software.
Start the trial only when you have a week free to build. Set a reminder for day 12.
12How do you cut your GoHighLevel bill?
- Write shorter texts. Two segments down to one halves the biggest line on most coach bills.
- Stop texting dead numbers. Tag failed numbers and set them to do not disturb, so one bad list does not trigger the block above.
- Text what matters, email the rest. Operators running high ticket funnels commonly report the best reminder rhythm is 24 hours before, the morning of, and 1 hour before the call. Promotions go by email. The show rate calculator writes those reminder messages for the gaps in your setup.
- Check your plan each quarter. One business on Unlimited with no rebilling is $200 a month for nothing.
- Pay yearly once you are sure. On Starter that saves $194.
Cheap texts are pointless if the call never happens. Reminders move show rate, and show rate moves cost per client far more than this bill. See what a client costs you with the client acquisition cost calculator.
13Worked example: Dana's first full month
Dana is a made-up business coach. She runs one webinar a week, books calls for a $5,000 program and has one setter. She is on Starter, monthly.
| Line | Volume | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Starter plan | 1 business | $97.00 |
| Texts sent | 6,000 at 1.4 segments | $100.55 |
| Replies | 900 | $11.22 |
| Phone numbers | 2 | $2.30 |
| Text campaign fee | 1 campaign | $10.50 |
| Setter calls | 1,500 minutes | $24.90 |
| 40,000 | $27.00 | |
| AI Employee Growth | 1 sub-account | $50.00 |
| Total | $323.47 |
Her plan is $97. Her bill is $323. She cuts reminder texts to one segment and moves the replay link to email. That saves about $29 a month. If those reminders bring even one more call to show, that is worth more than the whole bill.
14What to do this week
- Open the Wallet and Transactions tab. Write down last month's charges by type.
- Run the calculator with your leads and booked calls. Copy the bill and check it lands near last month's Wallet total.
- Run the plan chooser. If it picks a cheaper plan, downgrade.
- Count the segments in your five most-sent texts. Rewrite any over 160 characters.
- Pull last month's failed texts. Set dead numbers to do not disturb.
- Check your text registration is approved for the business that actually sends.
