AI Employee pricing

The AI Employee is GoHighLevel's AI bundle (Conversation AI, Voice AI, Reviews AI and Content AI). It is billed per sub-account where you switch it on, according to the AI product pricing article:

AI Employee planPriceWhat is included
Growth$50 a month per sub-account1,000 Conversation AI agent responses, 100 Voice AI minutes, unlimited Reviews AI and Content AI
Unlimited$97 a month per sub-accountUnlimited Conversation AI, Voice AI, Reviews AI and Content AI, subject to fair use
Pay per useNo monthly feeBilled at token cost

Agent Studio is not included in either subscription. To rebill AI Employee usage to your clients, the agency has to be on the $497 Agency Pro plan.

Other add-ons

From the pricing page and the HighLevel pricing guide:

Add-onPrice
WhatsApp integration$10 a month per sub-account, plus WhatsApp message fees
White label mobile app$497 a month, or $1,491 a quarter
HIPAA compliance$297 a month, account wide, cannot be deactivated
Branded client portal app$49 a month per sub-account

SaaS mode and rebilling

SaaS mode, where you sell GoHighLevel to clients as your own software with automatic sub-account creation, is only part of the $497 Agency Pro plan. Rebilling works in two tiers:

  • On the $297 and $497 plans you can rebill phone and email usage to clients at cost, without markup.
  • Rebilling with a markup is only available on the $497 plan, for both phone and email.

Usage costs: LC Phone, LC Email and WhatsApp

Usage is charged on top of the plan. GoHighLevel's LC Phone pricing article says LC Phone costs the same as Twilio, and lists:

  • A local number at $1.15 a month and a toll-free number at $2.15 a month.
  • US and Canada SMS at $0.00747 per segment, outbound and inbound (a 10% discount on the $0.0083 list price), with carrier fees passed through on top.
  • Voice minutes are billed per minute; the article has the full table.

LC Email is $0.675 per 1,000 emails on every plan. For WhatsApp, the WhatsApp pricing article lists North America marketing messages at $0.0263 and utility messages at $0.0036. From October 1, 2026, service messages are charged after the first 1,000 per phone number per month. Agencies can mark WhatsApp usage up between 1x and 10x.

A worked example

Take an agency on the $297 Unlimited plan with 10 client sub-accounts, each on the $97 AI Employee Unlimited plan. Before any usage, that is $297 plus 10 × $97 = $1,267 a month. On the $50 Growth plan instead it is $297 plus $500 = $797 a month, with 1,000 Conversation AI responses per client. Phone, email and WhatsApp usage come on top in both cases.

Where DM Champ fits

GoHighLevel is a full CRM: funnels, websites, email marketing, calendars, phone and a pipeline. DM Champ is not a replacement for that. It is the AI sales agent for the conversations that arrive as messages, built to read as human so leads keep replying long enough to be qualified, handle the objection and book. It fits two ways.

Next to GoHighLevel. The GoHighLevel integration forwards messages that come into GHL (SMS, email, Messenger, Instagram and live chat) to DM Champ, and the reply goes back through GHL on the same channel. You keep GHL as your hub. See the integration page.

On its own, for AI messaging. If what you need from GoHighLevel is mostly an AI that answers DMs, DM Champ covers that at a flat price:

DM ChampGoHighLevel
Entry price$97 a month (Business), 250 AI credits$97 a month (Starter), AI Employee extra
Agency price$297 a month, 10 client accounts, 1,000 AI credits$297 a month, unlimited sub-accounts, AI Employee per sub-account
White labelIncluded on both agency plansSaaS mode on the $497 plan, mobile app $497 a month
Clients pay you through your own StripeYes, on both agency plansRebilling with markup on the $497 plan
WhatsAppWhatsApp Business API or your own number through WhatsApp Web$10 a month per sub-account add-on
Phone callsNo voice channelYes, through LC Phone and Voice AI

DM Champ's AI credits pay for the AI's work: a typical reply comes to around half a credit, and extra credits are $0.10 each. Message delivery is separate, the same way GoHighLevel charges usage. Full plan details are on the DM Champ pricing page, and agencies selling a messaging receptionist can see the white label AI receptionist.

When GoHighLevel is the better buy: you want funnels, websites, email marketing, a phone system and Voice AI in one login. When DM Champ is the cheaper fit: you want an AI that sells in WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger for many clients without paying an AI add-on per sub-account.
