A GoHighLevel alternative that sets itself up.

GoHighLevel is a toolkit for agencies to build funnels and automations. Xaedros is built for the owner who wants the leads answered, the appointments booked and the invoices sent without building any of it.

GoHighLevel and Xaedros side by side, so you can compare what you actually run.

Both have a CRM, texting and automation. The difference is who builds it and who it is for.

Signs you have outgrown GoHighLevel, so you can decide before another month goes by.

Owners usually come to us with one of these. Read the longer version in GoHighLevel downsides.

  1. You maintain workflows instead of running the company.

    Every new service, price or rule means editing automations by hand.

  2. You pay an agency to keep it working.

    The software is cheap; the hours to build and fix it are not.

  3. Your office still does the scheduling.

    Leads come in, but booking, confirming and assigning crews is still manual.

  4. Invoices and pay live somewhere else.

    Jobs, invoices and payroll sit in other tools that never agree.

Moving over takes an afternoon, so you can keep every contact.

Import contacts

Export contacts from GoHighLevel as a CSV and import them. Xaedros shows you the mapping before anything is saved.

Import opportunities

Bring your opportunities export too, so open deals land in your Xaedros pipeline with their value and stage.

Keep your number

Missed calls and texts work on a Quo or Twilio number, so customers keep the number they know.

Proof from a running business, so you can judge it on results.

GoHighLevel alternatives, answered.

What is a good GoHighLevel alternative?

One that runs the work instead of asking you to build it. Xaedros answers leads, books and confirms appointments, follows up, invoices and works out pay, set up by you with the Director or by our team.

Is GoHighLevel good for a small team?

It can work if you or an agency build and maintain the workflows. Owners who want the work done without building it usually move to software that runs it for them.

Can I import my GoHighLevel data?

Yes. Xaedros imports GoHighLevel contacts and opportunities exports and shows the field mapping before saving anything.

Is Xaedros cheaper than GoHighLevel?

Xaedros Lite is $49.99 a month. The Full plan is $499 a month and includes setup by our team, which GoHighLevel users usually pay an agency for separately.

Does Xaedros have funnels and white-labeling?

No. Xaedros is not an agency platform. It is for the company doing the work, not for reselling software to clients.
