CRM PLATFORMS · MIGRATION GUIDE
Switching from GoHighLevel to HubSpot
Agencies or businesses moving from GoHighLevel’s all-in-one automation suite to HubSpot’s more enterprise-grade CRM and marketing platform are usually outgrowing GoHighLevel’s agency-tool feel and want deeper reporting and integrations.
Quick verdict: Makes sense for businesses that have outgrown an all-in-one agency tool and need HubSpot’s reporting depth, integration ecosystem, and sales/marketing alignment — but be ready for a real jump in cost and a manual rebuild of automations.
Why teams switch from GoHighLevel to HubSpot
Enterprise-grade reporting and customization
HubSpot’s custom report builder and data management tools go well beyond GoHighLevel’s sub-account dashboards.
Deeper integration ecosystem
HubSpot’s marketplace of thousands of apps and native data-sync options connect to far more of the martech stack than GoHighLevel typically does.
Built for sales and marketing alignment at scale
HubSpot’s CRM, Sales Hub, and Marketing Hub are designed to scale with larger revenue teams in a way GoHighLevel’s agency-first model isn’t.

Assumes a blended $45/hr internal labor rate with no native importer available, so sequences/records are rebuilt largely by hand. Adjust the sliders to match your team.
How to migrate your data
HubSpot’s import tool handles the core CRM data, but the automation and funnel rebuild is entirely manual.
Step
What happens
1Export from GoHighLevel
Export contacts, opportunities, and companies as CSV from your GoHighLevel sub-account.
2Clean and remap fields
Match GoHighLevel custom fields and pipeline stages to HubSpot’s contact, company, and deal properties.
3Set up your HubSpot account
Create and configure your HubSpot portal, including pipelines and custom properties.
4Import contacts, companies, and deals via CSV
Use HubSpot’s native CRM import tool, which handles CSV-based imports of contacts, companies, and deals but isn’t a purpose-built GoHighLevel connector.
5Rebuild workflows and funnels
Recreate GoHighLevel automations as HubSpot workflows and rebuild any funnel/landing pages using Marketing Hub or CMS Hub, since neither transfers automatically.
6Test and validate before cutover
Spot-check imported records, test rebuilt workflows, and validate reporting before fully switching over.
What HubSpot’s importer doesn’t handle: HubSpot’s CRM import tool handles CSV-based contacts, companies, and deals but has no purpose-built GoHighLevel connector — automation/workflow logic, funnel pages, and pipeline-stage nuances all require manual rebuilding inside HubSpot.
Pricing during the transition
HubSpot’s free CRM is a real starting point, but its paid Marketing Hub tiers climb quickly compared with GoHighLevel’s flat pricing.
Plan
GoHighLevel
HubSpot
Free plan
No free tier (14-day trial)
$0 (Free CRM)
Entry paid tier
$97/mo (Starter)
$20/seat/mo (Marketing Hub Starter, standard price), as of September 2026
Mid tier
$297/mo (Unlimited)
$800/mo billed annually, or $890/mo paid monthly on an annual commitment (Marketing Hub Professional, includes 3 seats, plus a one-time onboarding fee)
HubSpot’s free CRM is genuinely free, but its paid Marketing Hub tiers jump quickly: Professional is $800/month billed annually including 3 seats plus a one-time onboarding fee, a very different cost curve than GoHighLevel’s flat $97-$497 tiers.
Feature-parity checklist
HubSpot pulls ahead on CRM depth and reporting; GoHighLevel keeps the edge on native funnels and SMS.
Feature
GoHighLevel
HubSpot equivalent
Automations/workflows
Broad, funnel-tied workflow builder
More robust workflow automation at Professional/Enterprise tiers, a genuine upgrade but gated behind higher-cost plans
CRM/pipeline
Opportunity pipelines for agencies
A core strength with deep customization, a real upgrade for larger sales teams
Funnels/landing pages
Native funnel builder
Landing pages exist but funnel-style page building is less central and often requires CMS Hub, a mild downgrade for funnel-first marketers
Email/SMS marketing
Unified email plus SMS
Strong email marketing but native SMS is limited/add-on based, a downgrade for texting-heavy outreach
Reporting
Sub-account dashboards
Custom report builder and dashboards are a genuine upgrade for data-driven teams
No, HubSpot’s CRM import tool is CSV-based for contacts, companies, and deals; there’s no purpose-built GoHighLevel connector the way GoHighLevel has one for HubSpot.
Will my GoHighLevel workflows transfer to HubSpot?
No, workflow logic has to be manually rebuilt using HubSpot’s own automation builder, which is a paid feature above the free CRM tier.
Is HubSpot much more expensive than GoHighLevel?
Often yes at the mid-tier: Marketing Hub Professional is $800/month billed annually plus a one-time onboarding fee, well above GoHighLevel’s flat $297 Unlimited plan.
Can I keep GoHighLevel’s SMS follow-up in HubSpot?
Only through add-ons or third-party integrations; HubSpot’s native SMS capability is more limited than GoHighLevel’s built-in texting.
How long does a realistic migration take?
Contact/deal import can happen in days; rebuilding workflows, pipelines, and reporting properly for a mid-size team often takes several weeks, especially with HubSpot’s onboarding process for Professional/Enterprise.
