Choose the foundation you want to own
Your HighLevel account or WrightLabs CRM?
For contractors and home-service operators, both paths can start with the same business intake and FREE AI receptionist build. The starter work organizes lead ownership, calendars and booking rules, estimates, follow-up, and staff handoffs around the records your team uses. The difference is who owns the software relationship, who manages the foundation, and how much platform work your team wants to carry.
Open the plain-language page summary
Open HighLevel in your name.
You own the HighLevel account, pay HighLevel directly, and keep the direct vendor relationship. WrightLabs builds your starter system inside the account you control. This path fits operators who want direct account ownership and may manage the platform with their own team later.
You carry account administration and vendor billing. Confirm the plan, trial terms, usage charges, and vendor support at signup. Export formats and transfer eligibility follow HighLevel terms; not every workflow or connected service is portable.
Direct-account free-build eligibility requires a qualifying new account opened through the WrightLabs referral link. WrightLabs may earn a commission. Confirm eligibility before signing up; an existing account is not automatically eligible.
HighLevel advertises a 14-day software trial. Billing starts after the trial unless canceled; communication usage can still cost money during the trial. Confirm the terms displayed at signup.
Official trial terms were checked 2026-09-04 (America/New_York). The HighLevel pricing source is linked below.
- Your company owns the account and billing relationship.
- Your team controls users and account-level access.
- WrightLabs installs the approved starter build.
- HighLevel and usage charges are billed separately.
Use WrightLabs CRM.
Start inside the WrightLabs-branded CRM with the foundation configured and managed around your operating intake. WrightLabs remains the first support and build partner for the system. This path fits operators who want one managed starting point and do not want to assemble the CRM themselves.
Managed-plan price, admin access, support hours, included changes, cancellation, data export, and transfer conditions must be confirmed in writing before activation. No managed subscription price or guaranteed portability is implied here.
Request the managed CRM terms and confirm free-build eligibility during intake. Choosing this path does not create or activate an account.
- WrightLabs-branded operating experience.
- Managed setup, configuration, and first-line support.
- A starter system shaped around real business rules.
- Expansion into deeper WrightLabs and Jaxon OS work when approved.
What free covers and what is billed separately.
The agreed starter build includes AI receptionist setup, department SOPs, and core workflows confirmed during intake. It does not include a free software plan, unlimited changes, or unlimited phone, SMS, email, or AI usage. Deeper custom operating work is scoped separately.
This offer requires an eligible new HighLevel account opened through Jamie Wright's affiliate link. WrightLabs may earn a commission. HighLevel subscription, phone, messaging, email, AI, and other usage costs are billed separately.
Stop chaining a separate app to every handoff.
The starter foundation is organized around lead ownership, calendars and booking rules, estimates, follow up, staff handoffs, calls, conversations, reviews, referrals, and the business intake behind them. The point is one operating record your team can follow, not another pile of software.
Press EASY. Jaxon coordinates the routine handoffs.
Press EASY to play or replay an in-place example. Pause, resume, or skip to the result. All four steps remain readable with motion off: incoming work, Jaxon organizes it, the approved next step, and a readable result.
Example: a homeowner requests an appointment. The request is checked against service, hours, and coverage, then routed to the right person. The example receipt names the next owner and keeps booking confirmation unresolved. Nothing is sent by this preview.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Gmail/email, SMS, calendars, calls, forms, and CRM labels illustrate possible sources. They do not prove configured connections. Supported channels are confirmed during intake; custom connections need a separate scope.

Use your own bills for the software cost comparison.
Enter USD monthly amounts from your bills, with annual costs divided by 12. Blank means unknown, not zero. Enter 0 for a known zero cost. Mark only software you intend to replace as replaced. Exclude alternatives or a charge already included in another line.
The known software subtotal is retained software plus selected replacement costs. The proposed monthly total is retained software plus proposed software and usage. The net difference is selected replacement costs minus proposed software and usage; it can be zero or negative.
Confirm all included amounts and the proposed recurring cost before calculating a difference. Agency services, developer support, one-time implementation, and payroll remain separate budgets. No change to those expenses is assumed. This is a planning aid, not revenue, profit, or guaranteed savings.
If the referral signup link is unavailable.
No account is created by choosing the path. Send a starter request through the business intake so WrightLabs can confirm eligibility and the current offer terms before signup. The Revenue Leak Audit remains a separate path for deeper operating work.
