How to Set Up Multiple Pricing Plans in GoHighLevel Communities

Short answer: Yes. Since HighLevel's November 2, 2026 changelog update, one GoHighLevel community can have several paid membership plans, each with its own name, price, billing frequency, optional free trial, benefits and access to private channels, paid events and courses. You set them up under Settings > Subscriptions in the community. Members can compare plans and switch at any time. A configurable free tier is listed as coming soon, and HighLevel has not stated any extra cost or plan requirement for the feature.

What changed (Official)

Until now a GoHighLevel community was either free or paid at one single price. If you wanted a Basic and a VIP level, you had to build two communities and split your members. HighLevel's changelog entry Multiple Pricing Plans in Communities removes that limit. Each plan can include:

• A name and description, for example Basic, Pro and VIP.
• Its own price, currency and billing frequency: weekly, monthly, yearly or one time.
• An optional free trial.
• A list of benefits that members see when they compare plans, in the order you choose.
• Access rules: which private channels, paid events and paid or private courses the plan unlocks, or Full Access to everything.

Admins can activate or deactivate plans, reorder them, mark one as Most Popular and see member counts per plan from one screen. The entry is tagged new and does not mention Labs or beta, so it should be available in communities now.

How to set up multiple pricing plans

1. Open your community and go to Settings > Subscriptions.
2. Access: choose which private channels, paid events and paid or private courses this plan includes, or pick Full Access.
3. Details: add the plan name and a short description that says who it is for.
4. Pricing: set billing frequency, currency, price and, if you want, a free trial.
5. Benefits: add the benefits members will see and put the most important first.
6. Publish: create and activate the plan. Optionally mark it Most Popular.
7. Repeat for each tier, then reorder the plans so the one you want most people to pick sits in the middle or is highlighted.

Before you publish, map each paid course, event and private channel to the tiers that should unlock it. That decision is the real work; the screens themselves are short.

What members see

Members can compare plans side by side, subscribe and switch plans whenever they like. When someone switches, their current subscription stays active until the new one is confirmed, so they do not lose access in between. The Manage subscription page shows their active plan, payment method and next billing date. That gives members a self serve upgrade path, which is usually where tiered pricing earns its keep.

An example tier layout

Here is one simple way to structure three plans. The prices are placeholders for you to set, not HighLevel figures.

• Basic: the main community feed and public channels. Monthly billing with a short free trial to lower the barrier.
• Pro: everything in Basic plus one paid course and the monthly live event. Mark this one Most Popular.
• VIP: Full Access, including a private channel for direct questions. Offer yearly or one time billing for members who want to commit.

Update, November 3, 2026: the same changelog update added paid channels, so you can also sell a single private channel as an add-on outside your tiers, and a community analytics dashboard. See our guide to paid channels in GoHighLevel communities.

Limits and what is not announced

• Free plan setup: HighLevel says configuring what a free tier includes is coming soon. No date is given.
• Cost: the changelog does not mention any extra fee for the feature. Normal payment processing fees from your payment provider still apply.
• Plan requirements: none are stated in the changelog.
• Migration of existing members: the entry does not explain how members on your old single price are handled. Check this in a test community before you change a live one.

What it means for coaches, membership businesses and agencies

Tiered memberships are the standard way to raise revenue per member without raising the entry price. A coach can keep a low priced community tier, add a Pro tier that unlocks a course and monthly live event, and a VIP tier with a private channel for direct access. With HighLevel's Course AI drafting course content and the Client App Builder putting communities and courses inside a branded app, more of a membership business can now run in one account instead of Skool, Kajabi or Circle plus a separate CRM.

For agencies, this makes community offers easier to sell to coaching and education clients, but each client still needs a clear tier design and follow up automations for trials, failed payments and upgrades.

What to do now

1. Write your tiers on paper first: name, price, what each unlocks and who it is for. Three tiers is plenty to start.
2. Build them in a test community and walk through subscribing and switching as a member.
3. Set up follow up for trial endings and failed payments in your workflows before you announce the new tiers.
4. Tell existing members what changed and what their current plan includes.
5. If you planned a free tier, keep your current free community until HighLevel ships free plan configuration.
