ClickFunnels is built to sell products online through funnels; GoHighLevel builds funnels too, then runs the CRM, SMS and booking behind them.
ClickFunnels made sales funnels mainstream. It is designed for people who sell online: info products, courses, coaching programmes and physical products, with checkout pages, upsells, email and membership areas built in. ClickFunnels 2.0 added more CRM, automation and website features.
GoHighLevel was built partly as an answer to ClickFunnels. It includes a funnel and website builder, order forms, upsells and memberships, but its centre of gravity is lead follow-up: CRM, two-way SMS, calling, booking calendars, review requests and a unified inbox.
This comparison is written by Signal2Sale, a white-label GoHighLevel provider, so we have an obvious interest. We have tried to be fair about where ClickFunnels is the better choice. For current ClickFunnels plans, check ClickFunnels's official pricing page.
Qualitative comparison of the areas small businesses ask about most. Features vary by plan on both sides.
| Feature | GoHighLevel | ClickFunnels |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | CRM, follow-up and booking, with funnels | Sales funnels and online selling |
| Funnel builder | Included, drag-and-drop | Mature, with a large template library |
| Checkout and upsells | Order forms, one-click upsells and payments | A core strength |
| SMS and phone | Two-way SMS, calling and missed-call text-back | Not the focus of the product |
| Booking calendars | Built in, with SMS and email reminders | Limited, often handled by integration |
| Courses and memberships | Included | Included |
| CRM and pipelines | Full CRM with multiple pipelines | Simpler CRM |
| Review requests | Built in | Not included |
ClickFunnels is optimised for a visitor buying on the page. GoHighLevel is optimised for a visitor becoming a lead, then a booked appointment, then a customer, often over SMS and phone.
GoHighLevel's strength is everything after the opt-in: instant SMS replies, missed-call text-back, reminders, pipeline stages and review requests.
Many ClickFunnels users also pay for a CRM, a scheduling tool and an SMS tool. GoHighLevel replaces those with one account.
ClickFunnels sells tiered monthly plans with limits on things like funnels, contacts and workspaces depending on the plan. See ClickFunnels' pricing page for the current tiers.
GoHighLevel's direct plans are flat with usage billed on top. Signal2Sale gives you a fully set-up GoHighLevel sub-account, funnels included, from $50 a month, and most clients pay around $150.
For the full GoHighLevel plan breakdown, including the usage add-ons billed on top, read our GoHighLevel pricing guide.
Choose ClickFunnels if you sell digital or physical products online, your sales happen on the checkout page, and email is your main follow-up channel.
Choose GoHighLevel if you sell services, take bookings or follow leads up by phone and text. You still get funnels, plus the CRM and automation behind them. Signal2Sale builds it for you.
The usual objections to GoHighLevel are the setup effort and the price of buying it direct. Signal2Sale removes both. It is white-label GoHighLevel run by Neelo Digital: you get your own sub-account, built for your business, from $50 a month (most clients pay around $150). Moving from ClickFunnels? We import your contacts and rebuild your automations as part of setup.
