GoHighLevel sells you the workshop. Nova hands you the finished machine.
You describe what you sell. Nova builds the pipeline, the follow-ups, the booking flow — and it's live in about five minutes.
The account starts empty. You build it, or you pay an agency to.
“Text my no-shows at 9am.” “Add a stage for renewals.” Nova edits the automation itself. No builder to learn.
Open the workflow builder and wire the triggers yourself.
Software, AI, the build, the migration and your message volume — one price, every month.
From $97/mo, then texts, calls and AI actions billed as usage on top.
A dedicated texting number is $20/mo on top, with 2,000 texts a month included.

Prices change on both sides — check their pricing page and ours before you decide.
What one coaching or service business actually pays each month, once the thing is running.
The left card is the shape of the bill, not a quote — GoHighLevel's plan pricing starts from $97/mo as published in July 2026, and usage and build costs depend on how you run it.
Three places HighLevel is the right call — and we'll tell you so on the phone.
SaaS mode and sub-accounts let an agency spin up a hundred client CRMs and bill for them. If your business model is reselling software, HighLevel wins outright.
Courses, memberships, communities, an affiliate manager, an app marketplace. Nova is deliberately narrower — the parts that get and keep clients.
Years of tutorials, contractors who already know it, snapshots for most niches. Nova is younger — we build it for you instead. But the gap is real.
Tell us what you sell. We'll show you, on your own numbers, what a system that follows up for you is worth every month.
