It's the same software underneath. HighLevel sells it to agencies, and each agency decides what to add and what to charge. The difference in price comes from everything around the software: who sets it up, what support you get, which features are switched on, and how texts and calls are charged.
What pushes the price up or down
- Setup. Some agencies hand you a login. Others build your whole system. A full build from a UK agency is often £2,000 to £3,500 + VAT or more.
- Support. Email support in office hours costs an agency far less than live help around the clock.
- Which features are switched on. Agencies can turn features on or off for each plan. A cheap plan may leave out automations, the website builder or booking.
- Texts, calls and emails. These are charged as you use them, and every agency sets its own rates. Two plans with the same monthly price can cost very different amounts once you start texting.
- Who does the work. A UK team that sorts out the UK phone number checks costs more than a template from an overseas freelancer.
- Contract length. Some agencies tie you in for 12 months or more. Others are rolling monthly.
- Training and strategy. Ongoing calls and training take the agency's time, so they're built into the price.
What cheaper options leave out
Buying direct from HighLevel starts at $97 a month (about £73), but you build everything yourself and support comes from the US. Very cheap agency plans often switch off the features that save you time, such as automations, or charge more for texts and calls.
What dearer options usually add
Done-for-you agencies often charge £99 to £299 a month on top of a £2,000 to £3,500 build. For that you should expect a system built around your business, training, and someone who fixes things when they break.
Why we charge what we charge
Our plans are £49, £99, £149 or £249 + VAT a month. Every plan includes 24/7 human support for your whole team, a weekly group strategy call and over 2,500 help articles. Starter, Website and Pro include a 5-hour setup session and are rolling monthly with 30 days' notice. Managed includes the full build. We'd rather be clear about the price than be the cheapest.

Questions to ask any agency
- Which features are switched on in my plan?
- What do texts, calls and emails cost?
- Who sets it up, and how many hours does that include?
- What support do I get, and when?
- Is there a minimum contract?
- If I leave, can I take my account with me?
Common questions
Is GoHighLevel cheaper if I buy it direct?
The monthly price can be, from $97 a month (about £73). But you set it up yourself and get support from HighLevel in the US. Once you count setup and your time, an agency can work out cheaper overall.
Why are texts dearer through some agencies?
Each agency sets its own rates for texts, calls and emails. Ask for the rates before you sign up.
Is the software different between agencies?
No. It's the same HighLevel software. What differs is which features are switched on, how it's set up, and the support.
