Before you cut over

  • Set up single sign-on in GoHighLevel on Agency Pro (OpenID Connect only, not SAML) before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.

Switching from ClickFunnels to GoHighLevel

Businesses leaving ClickFunnels’ funnel-specialist platform for GoHighLevel’s broader CRM, automation, and multi-client suite are usually after a real sales pipeline, SMS, or agency features.

Switching from ClickFunnels to GoHighLevelVerified Sep 16, 2026
Quick verdict: Sensible if you need more than funnels — a real CRM pipeline, SMS, and agency sub-accounts; you may find GoHighLevel’s page/funnel builder slightly less polished than ClickFunnels for pure conversion design.

Why teams switch from ClickFunnels to GoHighLevel

Real CRM pipeline, not just funnel leads

GoHighLevel gives a proper opportunity pipeline, where ClickFunnels’ contact management is thinner.

Native SMS and voice

GoHighLevel adds two-way texting and call tracking that ClickFunnels doesn’t offer.

Agency and multi-client management

Agencies running funnels for multiple clients can use GoHighLevel’s sub-accounts and white-labeling, unlike ClickFunnels’ workspace caps (1 workspace on Launch, 5 on Scale, 10 on Optimize, 20 on Dominate).

How to migrate your data

GoHighLevel imports ClickFunnels contacts via CSV only, so funnel pages and Workflow logic need a manual rebuild.

StepWhat happens
1Export from ClickFunnelsExport your contact list as CSV from ClickFunnels.
2Clean and remap fieldsMatch ClickFunnels contact fields and tags to GoHighLevel’s contact fields and pipeline stages.
3Set up your GoHighLevel sub-accountCreate and configure the destination sub-account, including domains for rebuilt funnels.
4Import contacts via CSVUse GoHighLevel’s native CSV contact importer to bring records in.
5Rebuild funnels and automationRecreate ClickFunnels pages and funnels in GoHighLevel’s builder and rebuild any Workflows as GoHighLevel workflows.
6Test checkout and cut over domainsVerify payment processing and test the full funnel before repointing custom domains.
What GoHighLevel’s importer doesn’t handle: GoHighLevel has no named ClickFunnels importer — only a contacts CSV moves over, so funnel page designs, order bumps/upsells, and Workflow automation logic need to be manually rebuilt.

Pricing during the transition

GoHighLevel’s contact and sub-account allowances scale differently than ClickFunnels’ capped tiers.

PlanClickFunnelsGoHighLevel
Free planNo free tier (14-day trial)No free tier (14-day trial)
Entry paid tier$97/mo (Launch)$97/mo (Starter)
Mid tier$197/mo (Scale)$297/mo (Unlimited)

GoHighLevel’s plans include unlimited contacts and sub-accounts on the higher tiers, while ClickFunnels caps contacts and workspaces per plan, which can favor GoHighLevel for agencies running several client funnels.

Feature-parity checklist

GoHighLevel adds CRM and channel depth; ClickFunnels’ funnel-template polish is what’s left behind.
