What SaaS Mode does
HighLevel’s pricing FAQ describes SaaS Mode as transforming HighLevel into your own sellable software product: sell subscriptions from your website, automatically create client accounts, set the price, and earn recurring revenue by rebilling SMS, email usage, and other resellable features — including WordPress hosting, which remains a paid add-on (pricing page: starts at $10/month per site), not a free inclusion in the base plan.
Phone rebilling requires a connected payment provider first (help article 48001177740). Rebilling without markup is available on Unlimited ($297) and Agency Pro ($497); rebilling with agency markup is Agency Pro only.
