What Is SaaS Mode in GoHighLevel?

Updated November 2025

SaaS Mode turns HighLevel into your private-label software. You can create your own pricing tiers, attach features, give clients CRM tools, automate onboarding and bill them on autopilot through Stripe. It works like a ready-made software business. You do not need code, servers or engineering. You only decide what your plans include and how you present the offer.

Why Agencies Use SaaS Mode

Agencies choose it because subscription revenue scales better than project work. Once a client activates a subscription, the system provisions their account, loads templates, sends onboarding emails and starts workflows. Your time spent per client drops and revenue becomes more predictable. AI tools reduce support pressure further by generating messages, helping with setup guidance and handling repetitive tasks.

How SaaS Mode Pricing Works in 2025

You pay for your own plan. Your clients pay you for theirs. Stripe manages every charge.

Your HighLevel cost sits in a simple range. An agency usually pays between 147 and 297 USD each month depending on plan level. Your clients then subscribe to your SaaS plans. Most agencies charge between 97 and 497 USD per month depending on features, support and niche.

The model works because your cost does not rise linearly with each client but your revenue does.

Expected Revenue Ranges

Ten clients at a basic plan near 147 USD each produce about 1470 USD per month.
Twenty clients at mid-tier pricing near 197 USD each produce roughly 3940 USD per month.
Fifty clients at premium plans near 397 USD each reach about 19,850 USD per month.

These numbers are reasonable examples, not guarantees. They show the recurring nature of SaaS Mode.

What You Can Include in Your SaaS Plans
