If you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features, GoHighLevel may still be the right choice. For solo operators and small teams, Helix does 90% of what GoHighLevel does at a fraction of the cost — once.
Most GoHighLevel users complete the switch in 1-2 days. Here is the exact process:
Sub-Account Settings → exports are per object (Contacts, Opportunities, Calendars, Forms). Download each as CSV. Note: workflows and snapshots cannot be exported in standard format.
If you use SMS, your numbers and A2P 10DLC registration sit inside HighLevel's Twilio sub-account. Plan to register a new sender or port numbers before cancelling — HighLevel will release the sub-account on cancellation.
Import contacts and opportunities CSVs. Recreate calendars and pipelines. Helix walks the mapping. 15-30 minutes for typical solo operator data.
Keep HighLevel active while you verify deliverability, calendar bookings, and invoice flow on Helix. Monitor SMS and email metrics on both sides during the overlap.
If you resell HighLevel as SaaS to your own clients, migrate them off before you cancel — your cancellation cancels their access. This step does not apply to direct operators.
Cancel before the next billing cycle. Download a final backup of all object exports for records. Wallet/usage credits are forfeited at cancellation.
30-day money-back guarantee. Break even in 1 month.
For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Helix includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. GoHighLevel may be better for large teams (10+) or enterprises needing specific integrations.
Export everything before canceling. GoHighLevel provides CSV exports for most data. Import into Helix in about 15 minutes. Your data is yours — take it with you.
Most users switch in 1-2 days. The export/import takes about an hour. Then run both tools in parallel for 1-2 weeks to verify. Cancel GoHighLevel when you are ready.
30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. You lose nothing by trying.
