GoHighLevel vs HubSpot for service businesses: an engineer's comparison
For local and multi-location service businesses, the decision usually comes down to communication channels and cost structure. Here is how we think about it.
Learn moreOur running list of what HighLevel announced at LevelUp 2026, October 26-29 in Dallas: new features, the 2027 roadmap, and what each change means for business owners and agencies.
Short answer: HighLevel revealed its new features and its 2027 product roadmap on stage at LevelUp Day, Tuesday October 27, 2026, in Dallas. HighLevel said ahead of the event that it would unveil more than 300 features and updates. This page lists each announcement as HighLevel publishes the official details, with what it does, who it is for, whether it costs extra, and when it ships. We update it several times a day through the end of the conference.

HighLevel's co-founders presented the roadmap at LevelUp Day this morning (10:30 to 11:45 AM Central). The event is in person only with no public livestream, so we only list an announcement here once HighLevel or a verifiable on-site source has published it. Nothing below is guessed from rumors. Expect the first official recap from HighLevel later today; we will add each item with a short explainer and a link to our full guide when one is warranted.

Several features landed in October, just before the conference. These are live or rolling out now, so they are worth checking in your account regardless of what was announced on stage:
"Official" means the item is on HighLevel's own changelog; "reported" means it comes from release roundups, so confirm it in your account before relying on it.
New HighLevel features usually reach accounts in stages: some go live the same day, many start in Labs or a private beta, and some arrive months later. At LevelUp 2025, for example, the AI website builder and the advanced workflow builder were announced as Labs features and the Mac desktop app as a private beta. A few rules keep a launch week from breaking a working account:

At LevelUp Day on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, during the LevelUp conference in Dallas. HighLevel's agenda says LevelUp Day brings the roadmap reveal.
No. HighLevel describes LevelUp as an in-person event. Main stage recordings are included with the Encore Day upgrade, which is sold out, and HighLevel has sold recordings separately after past events.
It varies by feature. Some go live the same week, many start in Labs or a private beta, and roadmap items can take months. We note the status of each announcement on this page as HighLevel publishes it.
Some may. HighLevel has moved several AI features to usage-based billing, so check the pricing note on each announcement before turning it on for clients.
HighLevel said before the event that more than 300 features and updates would be unveiled by co-founders Shaun Clark, Varun Vairavan and Robin Alex, along with a first look at the 2027 roadmap.
