GoHighLevel offers a genuine free trial on every plan, with full access to the CRM, funnels, email, SMS and automation. There are two versions doing the rounds - the standard 14-day trial and an extended 30-day trial available through partner links - and a little planning makes the difference between a wasted fortnight and a confident decision. This guide explains exactly how the trial works, what you get, and how to test it properly.
Key takeaways
- The default GoHighLevel free trial is 14 days; an extended 30-day trial is available through certain partner links.
- A card is required to start, but you are not charged until the trial ends - cancel before then and you pay nothing.
- You get full access - no stripped-back "lite" version. The plan you pick is the plan you test.
- Both the Starter ($97) and Agency Unlimited ($297) plans come with the trial.
- Have a clear test plan: import contacts, build one funnel, run one automated follow-up.
- It is the best way to judge fit before committing - see our full review.
14-day vs 30-day: which trial will you get?
This is the question everyone asks, so here is the straight answer. The standard GoHighLevel.com homepage gives you a 14-day trial. Some partner links route you to a landing page offering a 30-day trial instead, with no promo code needed - the longer length applies automatically when you sign up through that link.
| Trial | Length | How to get it | Card required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 14 days | Sign up on GoHighLevel.com | Yes |
| Extended | 30 days | Sign up via a partner link advertising 30 days | Yes |
How the billing works
A credit card is required to start either trial - this is normal and prevents abuse. GoHighLevel does not charge you during the trial. On the 14-day trial you are first billed on day 15; on the 30-day trial, day 31. Cancel any time before that date from inside your account and you will not be charged a penny. Set a reminder for the day before so the decision is deliberate, not accidental.
What's included in the free trial?
The trial is not a stripped-back demo - you get the real platform, with no feature locked behind a "lite" version. On the Starter plan that means:
- The full CRM with unlimited contacts and pipelines.
- The funnel and website builder.
- Email marketing, and SMS (usage fees apply).
- Calendars and online booking.
- Forms, surveys and workflow automation.
- Up to 3 sub-accounts on Starter.
You can genuinely run your business on it for the trial period to see how it performs. The only thing you pay for during the trial is usage (SMS, email above the allowance, AI), drawn from a small wallet top-up.
Your day-by-day test plan
Two weeks (or a month) goes fast. Use this plan so you actually judge the platform on results rather than the demo.
| Days | Focus | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Set up | Import real contacts, connect email/SMS, explore the dashboard. |
| 3-5 | Pipeline | Build your sales pipeline and add a few real deals. |
| 6-9 | Funnel | Build one landing page or funnel and a booking calendar. |
| 10-12 | Automation | Set up a follow-up workflow (email + SMS) for new leads. |
| 13-14 (or 28-30) | Decide | Review results, check the pricing, keep or cancel. |
How to get the most from it
- Use real data: import actual contacts so you can judge it properly, not dummy records.
- Pick one workflow: automate your most common follow-up end to end and watch it run.
- Use the snapshots and templates: they save hours versus building from scratch.
- Test on mobile: the branded app is part of the appeal.
- Top up a few pounds of usage so you can actually send test SMS and email.
- Set a reminder for the day before the trial ends so you decide on purpose.
What happens after the trial?
If you keep it, you simply move onto your chosen plan (from around £77/month plus VAT on Starter) and carry on with everything you built. If you cancel before the end date, you are not charged and your account closes. If you are an agency, the trial is also the time to test white-label and SaaS Mode before committing to the higher plan.
Is GoHighLevel right for you?
Not sure it is the one? Compare it against rivals in our best all-in-one platform guide, weigh the HubSpot vs GoHighLevel comparison, or read the full GoHighLevel review. The trial costs you nothing but a little time, so the smartest move is usually to test it on your own workflow and judge from there.

The standard trial is 14 days. An extended 30-day trial is available through certain partner links, with no promo code needed. Both give full access to the plan you choose.
How do I get the 30-day trial?
Sign up through a partner link that advertises a 30-day trial - the longer length applies automatically. The sign-up page states the trial length before you enter payment details, so you can confirm which offer you are on.

Is the trial a limited version?
No. You get full access to the plan you select from day one, with no features locked behind a "lite" version. You only pay for usage such as SMS and email sends.

You move onto your chosen plan (from around £77/month plus VAT on Starter) unless you cancel. See our GoHighLevel pricing guide for the options.
