Drop Funnel

Let me guess you’ve seen the ads, heard the hype, and now you’re wondering if GoHighLevel is just another overpriced tool or the real deal. I get it. The marketing screams “game-changer,” but so did every other SaaS platform that flopped.

Rami asked me to cut through the noise and give you the raw, unfiltered truth. No sugarcoating, no salesman spin—just real talk from someone who’s used it, fought with it, and (mostly) won.

What the Hell Even Is GoHighLevel?

For the uninitiated, GoHighLevel (GHL) is an all-in-one marketing and sales platform built for agencies, freelancers, and businesses that want to stop piecing together 15 different tools. It’s a CRM, funnel builder, automation system, appointment scheduler, and more—all under one roof.

Sounds great, right? In theory, yes. But let’s dig into whether it actually delivers.

The Good: Why People Are Obsessed
All-in-One Actually Means All-in-One
Most “all-in-one” tools are lying. They’re missing key features or half-baked. GHL? It’s shockingly complete. You can build landing pages, automate email/SMS sequences, manage clients, track leads—even handle calls. If you’re tired of paying for ClickFunnels, ActiveCampaign, Calendly, and a CRM separately, this solves that.

White-Labeling Is a Game-Changer

If you run an agency, this is gold. You can rebrand the entire platform as your own. Clients log into your system, not some generic dashboard with GoHighLevel’s logo. That alone justifies the cost for a lot of agencies.

Automations That Don’t Make You Want to Rage-Quit
Unlike some platforms where setting up a simple workflow feels like coding a spaceship, GHL’s automation builder is intuitive. Drag, drop, and you’re done. Triggers, conditions, actions—it all makes sense.

Solid CRM for the Price
For what you pay, the built-in CRM is legit. Lead management, pipelines, tagging—it’s not HubSpot, but it’s way better than most CRMs at this price point.

The Bad: Where It Falls on Its Face
The Learning Curve Is Steeper Than It Should Be
The UI isn’t bad, but it’s cluttered. There’s a ton of power here, but finding what you need isn’t always smooth. Expect a week or two of “Where the hell is that setting?” frustration.

Reporting Is… Meh
If you need deep analytics, you’ll be disappointed. The reporting is functional but basic. You might still need to plug in Google Analytics or a third-party tool for serious data.

Support? Hit or Miss
Sometimes, they’re fast and helpful. Other times? Crickets. If you’re the type who needs hand-holding, this might piss you off.

The Mobile App Is Half-Baked
It exists, but it’s not great. If you live on your phone, you’ll wish it was better.

The Ugly: Who Should Avoid It?
This isn’t for everyone. If you’re a solopreneur just starting out, it’s probably overkill. You don’t buy a bulldozer to plant a flower. But if you’re:

Running an agency

Managing multiple clients

Tired of juggling tools

Need automation without the headache

…then yeah, it’s worth it.

My Verdict: Should You Buy It?

After using it for over a year, here’s my take: If you fit the use case, it’s a no-brainer. The time and money you save by consolidating tools make up for the flaws. But if you’re a small business with simple needs, you might be better off with something cheaper.

Rami wanted me to help you make the right call, so here’s my advice: Try it. They offer a 14-day trial—no credit card needed. Tear it apart, see if it fits your workflow, then decide.
