Is the HighLevel Founder Plan worth $497 for you?
The Founder Plan (formerly Agency Pro) puts project management, ticketing, field service jobs, restaurant tools and loyalty inside HighLevel. Tap the apps you pay for and see in 30 seconds if it pays for itself. Join through us and get 4 free bonuses.
What is the HighLevel Founder Plan?
Short answer: the Founder Plan is HighLevel's $497 a month plan, formerly Agency Pro. It is worth it when the new built-in tools let you cancel other apps, or when you need SaaS mode, rebilling or the Partner Network. For a single business that uses few of the new tools, Unlimited at $297 is often enough.
Everything in Starter and Unlimited stays: unlimited contacts and users, the CRM, workflows, calendars, funnels and websites. The Founder Plan keeps the Agency Pro extras (unlimited sub-accounts, SaaS mode, rebilling with markup and advanced API access) and adds project management, ticketing and meeting rooms, field service and restaurant tools, loyalty and rewards, events, workflow maps, advanced AI models with the highest usage limits, and eligibility for the HighLevel Partner Network.
The quickest way to decide is to add up the apps it could replace. The calculator below does that in about 30 seconds.

Founder Plan questions
What is the HighLevel Founder Plan?
It is HighLevel's $497 a month plan, formerly called Agency Pro (and widely called SaaS Pro). It keeps everything in Starter and Unlimited, plus SaaS mode, rebilling and advanced API access, and adds project management, ticketing, meeting rooms, industry tools for field service and restaurants, loyalty and rewards, advanced AI models and eligibility for the HighLevel Partner Network.
How much does the Founder Plan cost?
$497 a month, the same price as the Agency Pro plan it replaces. AI, phone, email and payment usage is billed on top, as on every HighLevel plan. Starter is $97 a month and Unlimited is $297 a month.
Is the Founder Plan the same as Agency Pro or SaaS Pro?
Yes. HighLevel's Founder Plan page says it was formerly the Agency Pro Plan, and existing $497 accounts moved to it automatically. The new tools were added on top.
Is the Founder Plan worth it for a single business?
Sometimes. If you run one business and will use few of the new tools, Unlimited at $297 may be enough. Use the calculator on this page: if the result is negative and you do not need SaaS mode, rebilling or the Partner Network, stay where you are. We would rather tell you that now.
Are all the Founder features live?
Not all of them. Independent recaps describe several as Labs or private beta, and HighLevel marks custom onboarding and the email health console as coming soon. Check each one before you cancel the app it replaces. Our Founder Plan guide keeps the status of each.
I'm already on the $497 plan. Do I get the Founder Bonus?
HighLevel moved $497 accounts to the Founder Plan automatically, so there is nothing to sign up for through our link. The bonus is for new signups and upgrades through our links. If you want help switching the new tools on, our Operations Partner plan covers it.
Why use your upgrade link instead of upgrading in settings?
HighLevel only credits an upgrade to a partner when you use that partner's upgrade link and enter it in the Affiliate Upgrade Credit field. Without it we cannot see your upgrade, so we cannot confirm your bonus.
Cancel apps. Keep the bonus.
