SaaS Mode Pricing and Tier Design
By Marnix Geerkens. Published 2026-05-28. Updated 2026-05-28.
TL;DR
- Three tiers works best: a simple entry plan, a main plan, and a premium plan.
- Price your main plan well above your platform cost so usage markups stay profit.
- SaaS Mode is part of the GoHighLevel Pro plan at $497 per month.
Good SaaS Mode pricing uses three tiers: an entry plan to remove the price objection, a main plan where most clients land, and a premium plan that anchors the value. Set your prices well above your GoHighLevel cost, gate features by tier, and turn on rebilling so usage like SMS, email, and AI is marked up. SaaS Mode is part of the Pro plan at $497 per month.
What is SaaS Mode pricing?
SaaS Mode lets you resell GoHighLevel as your own software. SaaS Mode pricing is the set of plans you offer your clients: the names, the monthly prices, and the features each plan includes. You set these, and the platform bills your clients for you.
Your profit is the gap between what you charge and what GoHighLevel costs you, plus the markup you add to usage through rebilling.
How many tiers should you offer?
Three is the sweet spot. One plan gives clients no choice. Five plans cause decision paralysis. Three plans let people self-select and make your main plan look reasonable next to the premium one.
| Tier | Who it is for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Price-sensitive first-timers | Removes the cost objection and gets people in the door |
| Core | Most of your clients | The plan you want people to buy; full feature set |
| Premium | Heavy users and bigger businesses | Anchors value and lifts your average price |
How do you set prices that protect your margin?
Start from your cost, then price for value, not cost-plus. Your GoHighLevel Pro plan is $497 per month for unlimited sub-accounts, so each extra client costs you very little in platform fees.
- Set your core plan at a price your niche pays without hesitation.
- Make the entry plan low enough to convert, but high enough to filter out tire-kickers.
- Price the premium plan high so the core plan looks like the safe middle choice.
- Mark up usage (SMS, email, AI) through rebilling so heavy users pay for what they use.
What should each tier unlock?
Gate features by tier so upgrades feel natural. Common gates are the number of users, access to advanced workflows, AI features, and included usage credits.
- Entry: core CRM, calendars, one funnel template, capped usage.
- Core: full automations, more users, AI features, higher usage cap.
- Premium: everything, top usage cap, priority support you provide.
Common mistakes
- Pricing too low because you are nervous; you can always offer a launch discount instead.
- Forgetting to mark up usage, which turns heavy users into a loss.
- Offering too many tiers, which slows down the buying decision.
- Copying GoHighLevel platform prices instead of pricing for the value your snapshot delivers.
Frequently asked questions
How many SaaS Mode tiers should I have?
Three tiers works best for most software businesses: an entry plan, a core plan, and a premium plan. Three gives clients a clear choice without overwhelming them.
What plan includes SaaS Mode?
SaaS Mode is part of the GoHighLevel Pro plan at $497 per month. The Starter ($97) and Unlimited ($297) plans do not include it.
How do I protect my margin on heavy users?
Turn on rebilling. It marks up usage like SMS, email, and AI to a price you set, so heavy users pay more and your margin holds.
Should I price based on my cost?
No. Price based on the value your snapshot and service deliver to that niche. Your platform cost is low per client, so value pricing earns far more.
Can I change my prices later?
Yes. You can adjust plans and prices as you learn what your niche pays. Many founders raise prices once they have proof their system works.
