Zivvy vs GoHighLevel
Here is the honest version. GoHighLevel is a white-label sales and marketing platform built, in their own words, by marketers for marketers — funnels, CRM, automation, and an agency ecosystem. Zivvy is the growth platform for martial arts schools — it connects to the machinery you already run and finds the money hiding inside it.
first, an honest question
Owners land on GoHighLevel two ways. Some found it themselves — it's a genuinely powerful marketing platform at a famous price. Most were brought to it by an agency running their ads and funnels on a white-labeled version of it. Either way, if what you need is marketing automation — funnels, campaigns, pipelines — GoHighLevel is very good at that job, and we won't pretend otherwise.
But here's the question: who is your platform actually built for? GoHighLevel says it plainly on their own site — "By Marketers, For Marketers." You're not a marketer. You're a school owner. Your problem isn't a missing funnel. It's hidden profit: failed payments nobody chased, students drifting toward the door, follow-ups that never happened after the funnel did its job.
A funnel fills the school. It doesn't find the money already inside it.
two different jobs.
A marketing machine for whoever wields it.
GoHighLevel is an all-purpose sales and marketing platform — funnels, websites, CRM, email and SMS automation, calendars, reputation management — with a white-label model that powers thousands of agencies. It serves every industry, priced from $97 per month plus usage fees for texts, emails, calls and AI features, with a marketplace of add-ons on top. If you want raw marketing firepower and you're willing to build, that is the job it's built for.
A finished platform for one owner.
Zivvy is the growth platform for martial arts schools. Nothing to build, nothing to configure, no snapshot to install. It connects to the school you already run and finds the hidden profit: the failed payments sitting unrecovered, the students quietly going cold, the follow-ups that never happened. Then it helps you recover it — or does the recovering for you. Built for school owners. Only school owners.
GoHighLevel is a toolbox. Zivvy is the finished room.
$97 is where the meter starts
GoHighLevel's $97 is real — credit for publishing it. But it's a starting meter, not a total. Texts, emails, voice calls and AI features bill by usage on top. The marketplace lists a dozen-plus paid add-ons. Many features owners actually want sit on the $297 Unlimited or $497 SaaS Pro tiers. And if an agency runs it for you, their retainer sits on top of all of it. None of this is a scandal — it's how platform pricing works. It's just not comparable to a flat number. Zivvy is $397, $597 or $897, and the tier buys work, not features: how much of the recovery Zivvy's team does for you.
Compare totals, not entry prices.

keep GoHighLevel. keep your agency too.
If GoHighLevel runs your marketing — or an agency runs it for you — keep it. It connects to Zapier as LeadConnector, and Zapier is exactly how Zivvy connects. We integrate with any provider that allows two-way Zapier integrations. Your funnels keep filling the pipeline; your agency keeps doing what you pay them for. Zivvy works the layer marketing never touches: the payment that failed in month eight, the student whose attendance faded in October, the member the funnel won and the follow-up lost. If you have an agency, tell them about us — recovered revenue makes their ad spend look better too.
Marketing fills the school. Zivvy makes sure it stays full — and paid.
when to choose which
Choose GoHighLevel if
You want maximum marketing firepower and you're willing to build — or you have an agency you trust to build it for you. As a marketing machine, it's the real thing.
Choose Zivvy if
You're a school owner, not a marketer, and the money still doesn't add up even when the funnels run. The gap between effort and bank account has a name — hidden profit — and finding it is the entire job.
Choose both if
You want GoHighLevel filling the school and Zivvy making sure what's inside never leaks out. They were built for different layers of the same business.
the questions owners actually ask.
Is Zivvy a GoHighLevel replacement?
No. GoHighLevel is a marketing platform; Zivvy is a growth platform for martial arts schools. GoHighLevel connects to Zapier as LeadConnector, and Zapier is how Zivvy connects — alongside, not instead.
What does Zivvy actually cost?
$397, $597, or $897 per month — REVEAL, RECOVER, and RUN. Flat. The difference is how much of the recovery work Zivvy's team does for you. Full detail is on the pricing page.
My agency built my whole system on GoHighLevel. Does Zivvy break that?
No. Nothing about your funnels, campaigns or pipelines changes. Zivvy connects through Zapier and works a different layer — recovery, not acquisition. Most agencies like the numbers Zivvy produces; recovered revenue improves every report they send you.
Do I have to migrate my data to use Zivvy?
No. Nothing moves. And if you ever leave, you take your data with you.
What support does Zivvy include?
In-app chat, live one-on-one calls, a ticketing system, and email — staffed Monday through Friday, 9am–5pm Central. When something's wrong with your money, you talk to a person — not a certified admin.
