When GoHighLevel makes sense (and when it doesn't)
GoHighLevel is right for you if:
- You resell GHL to your clients as a SaaS
- Lead gen & CRM is your core service
- You need SMS + email automation
- You have budget for 2–6 months of setup
Relay is right for you if:
- You want to be up and running today
- Your core workflow is proposal → project → invoice
- AI proposal generation matters to you
- You want to save $250+/mo vs GHL
