300+ HighLevel LevelUp 2026 Updates: Every Launch Explained
By Dr Priya Jaganathan, GoHighLevel Certified Admin · HL Growth Partner · Updated 28 October 2026 · 21 min read
Every HighLevel LevelUp 2026 launch explained: the Founder Plan, $20 AI plan, Managed Agents, LC Payments and Australian data residency, with use cases.
20 release sections with a status label, a use case, set-up steps and how to sell it, then every other update from the keynote. Checked against HighLevel's LevelUp Day release blog, changelog and help centre.
HighLevel announced more than 300 features and updates at LevelUp 2026, on LevelUp Day (27 October 2026) at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. Co-founders Shaun Clark, Varun Vairavan and Robin Alex grouped them under Build, Run and Grow, and renamed HighLevel's customers from "agencies" to founders. These are the launches that matter most:
- Founder Plan: the $497/month plan (formerly Agency Pro) gets a new name and exclusive features, at the same price.
- $20 AI Employee Starter plan: cheap AI assistants for every client account, only on the Founder Plan.
- Managed Agents: AI agents that use their own computer, remember what they've learned and hand work to sub-agents.
- Outbound Conversation AI and AI database reactivation: agents that start conversations and work through old leads in bulk.
- Australian data residency: announced as live, starting with Australia.
- LC Payments profit share: a stated goal of sharing about 40% of HighLevel's payments profit with founders every month.
- HighLevel Partner and AdFuel: HighLevel sending clients and paid ad traffic to founders.
- LevelUp 2026 ran from 26 to 29 October in Dallas. The product launches came at the LevelUp Day keynote on 27 October.
- Build is AI. That means Managed Agents, the Conversation AI flow builder, outbound agents, Ask AI with phone dispatch and a cloud computer, AI Search Visibility (AEO) audits, AI Studio's backend and commerce, and an AI-built client portal.
- Run is operations: the multiline dialer, RCS and WhatsApp Flows, email warm-up, deal-centred CRM associations, Workflow Maps, A/B testing in workflows, TikTok lead ads, ecommerce triggers and WordPress Antivirus.
- Grow is revenue: the Founder Plan, Industries (field services and restaurants first), Project Management, Meeting Room, Events, Loyalty, the payments profit share, HighLevel Partner and AdFuel.
- Plenty of it is in Labs or beta, and some items were only announced on stage. Every launch in this guide has a status label.
- If you only do three things: audit your accounts with Workflow Maps, run a database reactivation for one client, and decide your AI pricing tiers around the $20, $50 and $97 plans.
Why listen to me? I was in the room at LevelUp Day. I run HL Growth Partner, a white-label HighLevel fulfilment partner in Brisbane. I'm a HighLevel Certified Admin and a Gold SaaSPRENEUR, and I build these features for agencies every week. Every launch here is checked against HighLevel's own LevelUp Day release blog, changelog and help centre. HighLevel's blog tells you what each feature does. This guide tells you what to do with it.

What happened at the LevelUp 2026 keynote?
Quick answer: The LevelUp Day keynote opened with HighLevel's founders calling 2026 "the year about you". They shared the platform's scale, renamed agencies "founders", and organised the launches into Build, Run and Grow. It closed with HighLevel's manifesto and two programs that send business to founders: HighLevel Partner and AdFuel.
"This is the year about you." Last year's theme was "Level Up". This year, Robin said, they'd be "talking a lot more about you". HighLevel users have generated 12 million+ leads, $200 million in commissions and $10 billion+ using HighLevel. HighLevel is "the platform for building your business, running your business, and growing your business".
From agency to founder. Robin, an IT consultant turned marketing lead before HighLevel, said the word "agency" no longer fits everyone who builds on the platform. "What we've come up with is... the founder. That is what each and every one of you are." Then he added: "We're going to empower you for world domination."
Five times faster. The product teams are moving "five times faster", Robin said, with 40 to 50 team members behind what was shown on stage.
The scale, as stated on stage:
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| API calls | 8.1 billion+ every day |
| Workflow automations | 145 billion+ (about 56,000 every second) |
| Funnel and website hits | 5 billion+ |
| Messages | about 2.3 billion a month |
| Conversation AI messages | about 35 million a month |
| Voice AI calls | about 2.7 million a month |
| Data stored | 12 petabytes |
| Social posts | 5.8 million |
| Uptime | 99.95% |
Faster, too. The Conversations page is 2.6x faster, the contact page 30% faster, pipelines 28% faster, workflows twice as fast, and funnel and website previews 37% faster.
How did the LevelUp 2026 keynote end?
The founders closed the way they opened. "You're gonna be able to build your business on HighLevel, run your business on HighLevel, grow your business on HighLevel. Build, run, grow." Then came the manifesto they always end with: "No one will move faster as a company than us. No one will out-deliver us on product, and no one will care more about their customers. No one will generate more money into your pockets than us, and together, we're redefining the software industry by serving every business."
My honest take after a long day in that room: this year's launches are less about new buttons and more about HighLevel doing the work. Agents operate computers, the CRM treats deals and companies as real records, and the platform sends customers and advertising to its founders. The opportunity for agencies is huge. The risk is trying to sell all 300+ features at once. Don't. Pick three.
What should agencies do first? A 30/60/90-day plan
First 30 days: tidy up and switch on the safe wins
- Audit your top 10 accounts with Workflow Maps. Archive dead workflows and note what's duplicated.
- Run email health checks. Verify domains, start warm-up on your dedicated domains, and make the spam check and Inbox Preview part of your send checklist.
- Turn on versioning and the Prompt Optimizer for every live Voice AI and Conversation AI agent. Stop editing live agents.
- Decide your AI pricing tiers. Map each client to Starter, Growth, Unlimited or pay-per-use. If you're not on the Founder Plan, work out whether the $20 Starter plan and AI rebilling cover the upgrade.
- Set up a scheduled weekly report with an AI summary for every retainer client.
- Australian agencies: check every client's AU number regulatory bundle, and list the clients who need Australian data hosting.
Days 31 to 60: launch one new offer
- Pick one offer and one niche. For example:
- Database reactivation for med spas
- After-hours Voice AI for trades
- The AI Search Visibility audit plus a fix-it package for clinics
- Build it once as a template. Managed Agent or Conversation AI flow, workflows, a snapshot and a Project in Ask AI.
- Run it for two or three friendly clients. Measure one agreed number, such as booked consults, answered calls or audit score.
- Move fulfilment into Project Management, with an onboarding template and task triggers.
Days 61 to 90: go deeper and get ready to grow
- Restructure the CRM for B2B and property clients, using associations and the opportunity workspace (ask about the private beta).
- Pilot Industries with one field-services or restaurant client, without migrating anyone else yet.
- Get HighLevel Partner-ready: niche pages, case studies you have permission to use, current certifications and a fast booking page.
- Prepare for AdFuel: your offer, landing page, follow-up workflow and a voice agent demo.
- Review: keep what worked and drop what didn't. Then pick your next three features.
What do LevelUp 2026 updates mean for Australian agencies?
Most LevelUp coverage is written for the US. Here's what's different for us.
- Data residency is the headline. HighLevel announced on stage that data residency in Australia is live, with sign-up through HighLevel. That removes the biggest objection we hear from clinics, allied health, NDIS providers, schools and training organisations. Sign up, and get the hosting region and migration steps confirmed in writing before you promise it to a client. HighLevel's Australian privacy FAQ is the document to watch. And keep clinical notes in clinical software either way.
- Phone numbers need regulatory bundles. HighLevel requires every Australian local number to be linked to an approved regulatory compliance bundle, with an action date of 1 July 2026. Create the bundle in the client's sub-account, using the client's business details, not the agency's.
- A2P 10DLC and US Branded Calling (CNAM) don't apply to AU numbers. The Trust Center helps with your US clients only. Don't add A2P fees to Australian quotes.
- The Spam Act applies to every outbound AI message. You need consent, clear sender identification and a working unsubscribe for SMS, email and WhatsApp marketing. That's especially true for AI Campaigns and outbound agents.
- Privacy Act and APP 8. Most small businesses with turnover of $3 million or less aren't covered by the Privacy Act, but health service providers are, whatever their size. If your client is covered, cross-border disclosure rules apply to where their data goes.
- Daylight saving. Queensland doesn't observe it, while NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and South Australia do. Turn on Conversation AI's advanced time zone support for any client that books across state lines.
- WhatsApp is under-used here. Many migrant communities and small businesses run on WhatsApp. Flows, carousels and Voice AI on WhatsApp calls are a real point of difference.
- Pricing is in USD. Build currency movement into your AUD pricing for AI plans, phone and email usage.
- Ad platforms. Check TikTok lead gen and any new ad channels are available for the client's category in Australia before you sell them.
- Ask about HighLevel Partner and AdFuel availability in Australia and New Zealand. The keynote didn't say which countries are included at launch.

What is the HighLevel Founder Plan, and how much is it?
The Founder Plan is the new name for HighLevel's $497/month plan, previously Agency Pro. It's the same price, and existing $497 customers move across automatically. It adds exclusive features such as Industries, Workflow Maps, custom navigation and the A2P console. It also unlocks the $20 AI Employee Starter plan, AI rebilling with markup, and HighLevel Partner introductions.
Why did HighLevel rename agencies to "founders"?
Robin Alex said "agency" no longer describes everyone building on HighLevel, which now includes consultants, MSPs, bookkeepers and SaaS operators. "Founder" is the new umbrella term for anyone who builds and runs businesses on the platform.
What is the $20 HighLevel AI plan?
The AI Employee Starter plan costs US$20 a month per client location, and only agencies on the $497 Founder Plan can use it. It includes a base allowance of Ask AI, AI Studio and Creator Studio. AI agents such as Conversation AI, Voice AI, Reviews AI and Managed Agents are billed separately.
What's the difference between the $20, $50 and $97 AI Employee plans?
Starter ($20) includes base usage of the AI assistants and is only available on the Founder Plan. Growth ($50) gives 2x that usage plus generous limits across the AI suite. Unlimited ($97) gives 5x the assistant usage, plus unlimited Conversation AI, Voice AI, Reviews AI and Content AI under fair use. Phone charges still apply to calls.
What are HighLevel Managed Agents?
Managed Agents are autonomous AI agents you build in Agent Studio by describing the job. They can:
- use their own computer to browse, manage files and run scripts, asking before risky actions
- remember preferences and hand tasks to sub-agents
- start from webhooks, wait and follow up
- import n8n workflows
How does HighLevel database reactivation work?
Turn on Conversations AI - Outbound in Labs and set up an Auto-Pilot agent. Then start an AI Campaign on a Smart List of old leads or past customers. The agent sends personalised messages, follows up, handles replies and books appointments. On stage, HighLevel credited Rob Bailey with introducing the concept.
What is HighLevel AI Search Visibility?
It's a Labs section in the Marketing Audit Report in Prospecting. It scores a business out of 100 on how well AI assistants can find and use its information, based on local listings, crawler access, schema and agent readiness, and lists the fixes.
What is LC Payments, and do founders get 40%?
LC Payments is HighLevel's own payments offering. At LevelUp 2026, Varun Vairavan said his goal is to share about 40% of HighLevel's payments profit with founders as a recurring monthly commission. The written terms weren't published when I wrote this, so check them before you plan around the number.
Is HighLevel data residency in Australia available?
HighLevel announced at LevelUp 2026 that data residency in Australia is live, with sign-up through HighLevel, and that other countries will follow. Get written confirmation of the hosting region and migration steps before you promise it to clinics or other regulated clients.
What is HighLevel AdFuel?
AdFuel is HighLevel's program to pay for driving traffic to founders' businesses, using white-label ad creative such as a Voice AI demo ad. It starts on social channels including Meta, with TV planned for 2027. You can also make your own ads in Creator Studio.
What is HighLevel Partner?
HighLevel Partner connects small businesses that sign up to HighLevel directly with qualified founders who can support them. It's tied to the Founder Plan and needs an application.
Does HighLevel have project management and ticketing now?
Project Management is in beta. It has tasks, statuses, workflow triggers and actions, Ask AI, an API and MCP access. A native ticketing help desk was announced on stage.
What is HighLevel Meeting Room, and can it replace Zoom?
Meeting Room is HighLevel's built-in video conferencing. It has personal and instant rooms, appointment links, guest access, recordings, transcripts, AI summaries and up to 100 breakout rooms. For most agency and small business calls, it can replace Zoom.
What are HighLevel Workflow Maps?
Workflow Maps is a visual 2D or 3D map of every workflow, folder and connected asset (tags, forms, calendars, pipelines) in a sub-account. It shows contact journeys, failed runs and clean-up suggestions, and has an AI assistant. At launch, it's available to agency users and admins.
Which LevelUp 2026 features are still in beta or coming soon?
Many features are in Labs or beta, including outbound Conversation AI, AI Search Visibility, Course AI, Project Management, email warm-up and most of the new opportunity workspace. Several were announced on stage without written release notes yet, including the multiline dialer, ticketing, the workflow router and loop, ChatGPT ads, HighLevel Partner and AdFuel.
Do I need the $497 plan to use the new features?
No, not for most of them. The Founder Plan-only items are Industries, Workflow Maps, custom navigation, the $20 AI Starter plan, AI rebilling with markup and HighLevel Partner. Many other launches are in Labs or beta on every plan.
