Course Creator 360 vs GoHighLevel Pricing: What You Actually Pay in 2026
Both companies advertise a $97 plan. That's where the similarity ends. Here's every price on both sides, what's included, what's extra, and the cost that never shows up on a pricing page. Prices checked September 2026. Both companies change them, so verify on the live pages.
Short answer: GoHighLevel is $97, $297 or $497 a month plus metered email, plus paid add-ons for a dedicated IP ($59) and priority support ($300). Course Creator 360 is $97, $147 or $297 a month with unlimited email from Premium up, templates and training included, and 24/7 support on every plan. For a course creator, CC360 Premium at $147 is the cheapest working setup there is, because everything GoHighLevel makes you buy separately is already in it. See the plans.

A realistic monthly bill for a course creator
Say you have a 10,000-person email list, you want to stay out of spam, and you want to reach a human when something breaks. Here's what each side costs per month.
| GoHighLevel Unlimited | CC360 Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription | $297 | $147 |
| Email sends (about 120,000 a month) | about $80 | $0 |
| Dedicated IP | $59 | $0 |
| Priority support | $300, or you wait in the general queue | $0 |
| Total | $436 to $736 | $147 |
You can shave GoHighLevel's number down by taking the $97 Starter plan and skipping the dedicated IP and priority support. Then you're at about $177 a month, on shared IPs, in the general support queue, with a blank account you still have to build. CC360 Premium is $147 with all of it done. There is no plan on the GoHighLevel side that gets a course creator to a working, delivering, supported setup for less.
The cost that isn't on either pricing page
I call it the DIY tax. You sign up for GoHighLevel excited. A week later you're staring at 15,000 templates for dentists and realtors with no idea which funnel to build. So you buy a snapshot. Then a course on funnels. Then a consultant. Then something breaks and the ticket takes a week. Six months later you're either launched or you've gone back to Kajabi. I went through that cycle myself in 2021. It took me six months, and I build funnels for a living. If your time is worth anything, that's thousands of dollars that never shows up as a line item. The full breakdown is here.
Frequently asked questions
Is Course Creator 360 more expensive than GoHighLevel?
No. Plan for plan, CC360 Premium at $147 sits between GoHighLevel's $97 and $297 plans, and once you add GoHighLevel's metered email, dedicated IP and priority support, GoHighLevel costs more every month. CC360 Starter matches GoHighLevel Starter at $97 with 24/7 support included. And none of that counts the templates, training and coaching, which GoHighLevel doesn't sell at any price.
