Who it fits
| Plan | HighLevel says it’s for | Sub-accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Starter, $97 a month | Smaller businesses and solo marketers | 3 |
| Unlimited, $297 a month | Growing agencies | Unlimited |
Agency Pro, at $497 a month, adds more features on top of Unlimited, including advanced API access. A business that needs only 1 of these tools still pays the full plan price plus usage, so the value comes from using several of them.
