GoHighLevel vs ClickFunnels cost scenarios

These examples use the calculator’s logic with monthly billing and HighLevel email usage at $0.675 per 1,000. They show how the picture changes with workload.

Scenario	HighLevel	ClickFunnels
Solo creator: 1 account, 10,000 contacts, 20,000 emails	Starter, about $110.50/mo	Launch, $97.00/mo
Course team: 40,000 contacts, 4 people, 5 courses, 120,000 emails, needs automations	Starter, about $178.00/mo	Scale, $197.00/mo
Agency with 8 clients: 80,000 emails in total, needs API access	Unlimited, about $351.00/mo	Optimize, $297.00/mo
SaaS reseller: 20 accounts, 200,000 emails	Agency Pro, about $632.00/mo	Dominate, $499.75/mo billed at $5,997/yr, no SaaS resale mode

Neither platform is cheaper in every case. HighLevel costs less when a ClickFunnels tier jump (more contacts, automations or team size) outweighs HighLevel’s email usage. ClickFunnels costs less when your email volume is large and your needs fit a lower plan. For SaaS resale, only HighLevel lists a plan built for it.
