What SaaS Mode Is
SaaS Mode lets an agency sell GoHighLevel as its own branded software subscription. Instead of only providing marketing services, the agency creates subscription plans, charges clients automatically and gives them access to a branded platform. It is included on the Agency Pro plan ($497 per month) and Enterprise.
| Capability | What it means |
|---|---|
| Custom subscription plans | Set your own plan names, features and prices for clients |
| Automated billing | Clients are charged through your connected Stripe account |
| Automated sub-account creation | A new account is created when a customer signs up and pays |
| Rebilling with markup | Charge clients more than your cost for phone, email and AI usage |
| User and agent reporting | Track activity across accounts |
SaaS Mode vs Unlimited
| Unlimited ($297) | Agency Pro ($497) | |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited client sub-accounts | Yes | Yes |
| Rebill phone and email | At cost | With markup |
| Rebill AI usage | No | With markup |
| Sell subscription plans with automatic billing | No | Yes |
| Automatic account creation on sign-up | No | Yes |
If you only provide services and include the software in your fee, Unlimited may be enough. If you want to sell software subscriptions or profit from usage, Agency Pro is the plan built for it. See the plan comparison.
How SaaS Mode Works
- Upgrade to Agency Pro. SaaS Mode is only available on Agency Pro and Enterprise.
- Connect Stripe. Your Stripe account processes client subscription payments.
- Brand the platform. Set your company name, logo, colors and custom domain for client logins.
- Create SaaS plans. Choose which features each plan includes, the price and any trial period.
- Set usage rebilling. Choose markups for phone, email and AI usage.
- Load a snapshot. Give each new account a ready-made setup for its industry.
- Publish a sign-up funnel. Customers choose a plan, pay and receive their account automatically.
Pricing Your SaaS Plans
Your price, customer count, support time and usage markups decide the economics. A useful first check is how many paying customers it takes just to cover the $497 Agency Pro subscription at different price points, before payment fees, usage costs, support and marketing:
| Your monthly price per customer | Customers needed to cover $497 |
|---|---|
| $97 | 6 (5.1 rounded up) |
| $197 | 3 (2.5 rounded up) |
| $297 | 2 (1.7 rounded up) |
| $497 | 1 |
Many agencies bundle software with services such as setup, campaign management or an AI receptionist, because pure software subscriptions require ongoing customer acquisition and support.
What to Plan Before Launching
- A specific niche and a snapshot built for it
- Onboarding and support processes
- Terms of service and a privacy policy
- How you will handle A2P 10DLC registration for each customer
- Usage markups that cover your costs
- A white-label mobile app ($497/mo add-on) if you want a branded app
