Compare · GoHighLevel vs Digital IngenuityGoHighLevel or us?
GoHighLevel gives you the tools and leaves the running to you or your agency. Here is what changes when a strategist runs the same core for you, and what stays in GoHighLevel.
Checked September 30, 2026, against GoHighLevel's own pages
GoHighLevel sells an all in one software platform, a CRM, funnels, texting, calendars, reviews and automations, that you or an agency sets up and runs.
We do the running: a strategist operates the same core pieces for you, the crew proposes changes overnight, and nothing goes live without your yes.
If you use GoHighLevel for leads, follow up, reviews, calls and local search, we replace it and run it for you.
Keep GoHighLevel if you build funnels, sell courses or memberships, take payments in it, or resell it as software in SaaS mode. We do none of those today.
GoHighLevel and us, in three lists.
Both do
- CRM, pipeline and automations
- Chat, texting and AI voice answering
- Review requests and AI replies
- Email and SMS campaigns
We add
- A strategist who runs it
- iMessage on the texting line
- Map grid and listings, run for you
- Nightly ad audits and click fraud protection
GoHighLevel is ahead on
- Funnels and landing pages
- Courses, memberships and payments
- More social networks and inboxes

The GoHighLevel column comes from GoHighLevel's own public pages, read on September 30, 2026. Not listed means we did not find it there, not that GoHighLevel lacks it. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct it.
What you keep, what changes.
What you keep
- Your contacts. GoHighLevel's help center describes a CSV export for admins, per sub account. It notes that long notes are cut short and automation history is not included.
- Your deals. Its Opportunities page has an Export Opportunities option. We rebuild your stages and bring the deals across.
- Your reviews. We found no bulk review export in its help center. Reviews posted on Google and Facebook stay there, and we monitor them through the directory network.
What changes
- Your workflows. Automation history does not export, so we rebuild your follow up as automations and drips, and you approve each one.
- Funnels, payments and video reviews. They stay in GoHighLevel or move to another tool. We do not build funnels, take payments or collect video reviews today.
- Who does the work. A strategist runs it; the crew reads the account overnight and proposes; you approve.
Moving from GoHighLevel, in three steps.
- Tell us what you have
Which sub accounts, pipelines and workflows matter, and which funnels or payments you rely on.
- We set it up
You export contacts and opportunities as CSV. We import them, rebuild your pipelines and follow up, set up review monitoring, and set up chat, texting and phone answering.
- You review and switch
You check pipelines, messages and booking links, then your website forms and chat switch over.
A person reads every request and replies within one business day. Nothing your customers see changes until you say yes.
GoHighLevel questions, answered.
Is Digital Ingenuity a GoHighLevel alternative?
For the core of it, yes: CRM and pipeline, forms and chat, texting, an AI phone receptionist, calendar and booking, reviews, listings, a 7 by 7 map rank grid, email and SMS campaigns, and Google and Facebook publishing. The difference is who does the work: a strategist runs it and you approve.
Can I move my GoHighLevel funnels, courses and payments?
No. We do not offer funnels, landing page builders, courses, memberships or payments. If those carry your business, keep GoHighLevel for them. If you mainly used it for leads, follow up, reviews and local search, that part moves to us.
Is the map rank grid extra, as it is in GoHighLevel?
GoHighLevel's help center describes its local SEO heatmap as a paid upgrade through a third party SEO product, and its listings as a paid add on. With us, the 7 by 7 grid and listings are work our strategist runs for you, not tools you buy and set up.
Will my agency's sub accounts come across?
Yes, as client accounts under your own name and domain, with a client roll up. GoHighLevel's contact export runs per sub account, so we move one client at a time and you check each before it goes live.
