The standard trial is 14 days. The Bootcamp trial is 30, with live onboarding. Here is how to start it, which plan to pick, what to do on day one and how to spend the month so you know whether GoHighLevel fits.
Short answer: GoHighLevel's standard free trial is 14 days. To get 30 days, start through the HighLevel Bootcamp offer, which also includes live onboarding sessions every weekday. A card is required, the plan fee is not charged during the trial, and usage for texting and calling is billed as you go. Start on Starter if you run one business, file A2P registration on day one, and spend the month getting one real process working on real leads. Sign up through any link on this page and you also get 5% off every project with us.

If you have never used GoHighLevel, take the 30 days. The extra two weeks are not about learning the menus. They are about A2P approval, which can take a week or more, and about having enough live leads through the system to judge it.
The live session is a click-by-click walkthrough of six quick wins: text marketing, missed call text back, the mobile app, social media posting, Google Business chat and review management. Breakout rooms let you build each one in your own account while someone from HighLevel is on the call. The offer also lists a Lead Gen Playbook, a five-day challenge, a SaaSpreneur Playbook, a launch snapshot and a funnel template.
Our view: the session is worth one hour for any owner doing the setup themselves, mainly for missed call text back and review requests, which pay off fastest. Skip the launch snapshot until your own pipeline exists; a snapshot full of someone else's workflows is harder to learn from than an empty account.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Pick it if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $97 | $970 | You run one business or up to three locations |
| Unlimited | $297 | $2,970 | You are an agency, have four or more locations, or need the API for an integration |
| Agency Pro (SaaS Pro) | $497 | $4,970 | You will sell GoHighLevel under your own brand with SaaS mode and rebilling |
Every plan includes unlimited contacts and users. HighLevel's pricing page now labels the $497 plan Agency Pro; it is the same SaaS mode plan our older articles call SaaS Pro. You can compare the plans on HighLevel's pricing page, and our pricing guide covers usage costs and when annual billing pays off. Stay monthly during the trial and for the first quarter after it.
| Task | Why it comes first |
|---|---|
| Buy a local phone number | Everything else, texting, missed call text back and call tracking, hangs off it |
| File A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration | Approval takes days; until it lands your texts are filtered or blocked |
| Check your website for a privacy policy, terms and an opt-in form with consent language | Carriers reject campaigns without them. Our A2P approval guide has the list |
| Connect a sending domain for email | Email from a shared domain lands in spam and makes follow-up look broken |
| Set business hours, time zone and one calendar | Wrong time zones are behind most reminder mistakes we fix later |
| Build one pipeline that mirrors how you sell today | Five stages you actually use beat twelve you might use |
| Import a small, clean contact list | A few hundred current customers, not the whole database; old lists need consent handling first |
Finish the checklist and wait for A2P while you learn the conversations view on the mobile app. Owners who skip registration spend the trial concluding that GoHighLevel texting does not work, when what they are seeing is an unregistered number.
Pick the process with the most money in it. For almost every service business that is new lead follow-up: a lead comes in from your website, Yelp, Google or a form, gets a text and an email within a minute, gets a call attempt, and is followed up on a schedule until they book or say no. Build that workflow, connect one real lead source, and let it run on live leads. Our missed call text back guide is the easiest first automation to add alongside it.
Look at the conversation for each lead that came through. Did the messages arrive? Did people reply? Did anyone book? Fix what broke, then add appointment reminders and a review request that fires after the job is marked complete. Our free health check is a useful checklist at this point.
You now have real numbers: leads in, follow-up sent, appointments booked. Compare them with what your old setup did over a similar stretch. If it worked, keep the plan monthly for a quarter, then consider annual. If it did not, you will know why, and it is usually the build rather than the platform.
Start your trial or plan through any affiliate link on this site and you get 5% off every project you buy from Yotomations, whether that is a fixed-price package or a quoted build, migration or integration. There is no cap on the number or size of projects.
Anyone starting a trial can book a free 30-minute planning call. We look at how leads reach you today, tell you which process to build first and check whether your website will pass A2P review. If you would rather have it built, the New to GoHighLevel Migration sets up the account and moves your contacts, the Website and A2P 10DLC Launch covers businesses without a compliant site, and the Speed to Lead Sprint builds the follow-up system. All three are fixed price, fit inside a 30-day trial and carry the 5% signup bonus, so the account is producing results before the first invoice.
