What is HighLevel
Overview
HighLevel is a SaaS platform built for marketing agencies and consultants to manage CRM, funnels, automations, SMS, email and client subaccounts in one place.
Who uses it
Customers range from solo freelancers to agencies using HighLevel in SaaS mode to resell services and manage multiple client locations (subaccounts).
How to cancel HighLevel
Cancel main account (web)
- Log in to your HighLevel account on the web.
- Go to Settings (or Billing) > Billing area.
- Choose "Cancel Subscription" or turn off auto-renewal; access typically continues until the end of the billing period unless you choose immediate cancellation.
- Reference: How to cancel (guide).
Cancel agency / location (SaaS sub-account)
- From the Agency Billing page select the sub-account (location) you want to cancel.
- Choose "Cancel at End of Billing Cycle" (default) or "Cancel Immediately"; note both options are generally without refunds.
- See HighLevel help for location subscription cancellation: Cancel location subscriptions.
Cancel in-app add-ons & Prospecting Tool
- For Marketplace/resold add-ons: sub-account users can cancel in-app via Settings > Billing > Subscriptions and choose end-of-billing-cycle or immediate cancellation.
- For the Prospecting Tool add-on: cancel inside the Prospecting tab or Settings; cancellation is immediate but data/reports remain accessible.
- Reference: In-app resold subscriptions and Prospecting Tool cancellation.
What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
If you choose "Cancel at End of Billing Cycle" your account generally remains active until the current paid period ends.
Choosing "Cancel Immediately" can end access at once; refunds are handled separately under HighLevel policy.
Data and reports
Some add-ons (for example Prospecting Tool) preserve data and reports after cancellation, but retention varies by product and should be confirmed before cancelling.
Export any critical data and backups before requesting immediate cancellation to avoid loss.
Will I get a refund?
HighLevel refund policy
HighLevel's Terms of Service state that fees are non-refundable and no credits are provided for unused or partially used subscription periods.
Exceptions (refunds or credits) are at HighLevel's sole discretion and may require written notice at least 30 days before the next billing date.
Reference: HighLevel Terms of Service.
Marketplace and trial exceptions
- Marketplace purchases: prorated refund only if canceled within about 3 days of initial subscription in many cases.
- Free trials (e.g. 7 - 14 days) generally incur no charge if cancelled during the trial; once the trial ends, refunds for the initial paid period are typically not available.
- See the Marketplace refund policy for specifics: Marketplace refund policy.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Key rights under local law
South African consumer protection law requires fair, non-misleading contract terms and protection against unconscionable terms.
Blanket "no refund" clauses can be challenged if they are unfair or misrepresent the service provided.
How to proceed if you have a dispute
- Document the issue: invoices, screenshots, trial offers, billing records and communications.
- Submit a written cancellation/refund request to HighLevel and keep proof of delivery.
- If unresolved, you may raise the matter with the National Consumer Commission or a relevant ombudsperson for digital services.

Documentation checklist
What to gather
- Account email and account ID (screenshots of Settings page).
- Invoices and billing statements showing charges and dates.
- Screenshots or copies of trial offers, SMS-credit promises, or promotional terms.
- Support tickets, chat transcripts and any written communications with HighLevel.
- Exported data you need to keep (contacts, funnels, reports).
How to submit your request
- Send a clear written request via the support channel in-app or the billing area and keep a copy.
- Reference the exact charge dates, subscription type and whether you request cancellation at period end or immediate cancellation.
- If claiming a billing error, attach supporting evidence and request a written response.
Common mistakes
Billing and trial misunderstandings
Many users assume a "free" trial includes all credits or features; unanticipated chargeable items (like SMS credits) can lead to surprise bills.
Always confirm what is included in a trial and whether you must cancel before a specific date to avoid charges.
Support timing and cancellation method
Attempting to cancel via chat without confirming the Billing > Cancel option can leave auto-renew enabled.
Make cancellations in the Billing area and retain screenshots of the confirmation to avoid disputes.
Comparative recap
