Editorial assessment

Before you cut over

  • You have single sign-on in GoHighLevel but we found none documented for ClickFunnels. Plan how people will sign in, and how you will remove leavers, before cut-over.
  • GoHighLevel offers a HIPAA BAA; we found none for ClickFunnels. Don’t move protected health information until that is settled.

Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data

MARKETING AUTOMATION · MIGRATION GUIDE

Switching from GoHighLevel to ClickFunnels

Marketers moving from GoHighLevel’s all-in-one CRM and automation platform to ClickFunnels’ funnel-and-page-building specialist are usually after a more focused, conversion-optimized funnel builder.

Switching from GoHighLevel to ClickFunnelsVerified Sep 16, 2026
Quick verdict: A good fit if funnels and page conversion are your main focus and you’re willing to run CRM/SMS separately; ClickFunnels is not a CRM/automation replacement for GoHighLevel’s agency features.

Why teams switch from GoHighLevel to ClickFunnels

Purpose-built funnel and page editor

ClickFunnels’ page builder and funnel templates are more specialized for direct-response funnel design than GoHighLevel’s more general builder.

Simple automation tied directly to funnels

ClickFunnels 2.0’s Workflows automate follow-up tied closely to funnel behavior, which can be simpler to reason about than GoHighLevel’s broader automation builder for funnel-specific use cases.

Not an agency or CRM platform

ClickFunnels is built for a single brand’s funnels, not multi-client sub-accounts or a full sales pipeline CRM.

How to migrate your data

Only contact data survives a GoHighLevel-to-ClickFunnels move; funnels and automations need a manual rebuild.

StepWhat happens
1Export from GoHighLevelExport contacts as CSV from your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2Clean and remap fieldsMatch GoHighLevel tags and custom fields to ClickFunnels’ contact fields.
3Set up your ClickFunnels workspaceCreate your ClickFunnels workspace and custom domains, since funnel pages and domains don’t carry over.
4Import contacts via CSVUse ClickFunnels’ native contact CSV importer to bring records in.
5Rebuild funnels and workflowsRecreate GoHighLevel funnel pages and automation logic as ClickFunnels funnels and Workflows, since neither transfers automatically.
6Test checkout and go liveVerify payment integrations and test the full funnel flow before repointing domains.
What ClickFunnels’s importer doesn’t handle: There’s no native GoHighLevel-to-ClickFunnels importer — only contact data moves via CSV, and funnel page designs, order bumps/upsells, and automation logic all need to be manually rebuilt in ClickFunnels.

Pricing during the transition

The entry tiers are priced similarly, but the two platforms cap resources differently.

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

ClickFunnels’ Launch plan is priced similarly to GoHighLevel’s Starter plan, but ClickFunnels caps contacts and workspaces per tier where GoHighLevel’s plans include unlimited contacts.

Feature-parity checklist

ClickFunnels sharpens funnel conversion tooling; GoHighLevel keeps the wider CRM and channel toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ClickFunnels have a GoHighLevel importer?

No, contacts move via standard CSV import; there’s no one-click connector.

Will my GoHighLevel automations work in ClickFunnels?

Not automatically: you’d rebuild the logic using ClickFunnels 2.0’s Workflows feature.

Can I still manage multiple clients like in GoHighLevel?

Not really: ClickFunnels is built around a single business’s funnels, not agency sub-accounts.

Does ClickFunnels support SMS marketing?

Not natively: you’d need a separate SMS tool to replace GoHighLevel’s native texting.

How long should I expect the migration to take?

Contacts import quickly; rebuilding funnels and testing checkout properly usually takes one to two weeks.
