HubSpot alternatives

The 9 closest of 17, each with its real monthly cost at 3 users and what it does that HubSpot does not. See all 22.

Bigin by Zoho CRM does everything we verified about HubSpot for $33 a month less at 3 users, $27 against $60. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: HubSpot is built for running CRM, email and sales from one subscription and a mature platform with a large ecosystem and Bigin by Zoho CRM is not, so this is a swap with a cost.

Why people look for an alternative

The jump from Starter to Sales Hub Professional is $20 to $100 a seat plus a compulsory $1,500 onboarding fee on an annual commitment, so a sales team that needs Professional features pays far more than any sales-only CRM here.

It runs $60 a month at 3 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 6 of the 17 alternatives to HubSpot cost less than that.

What HubSpot is still the best answer for

A small team that wants marketing, sales, service and a website in one subscription, starting on a real free CRM and paying per seat as it grows.

On this site it is the pick for running CRM, email and sales from one subscription, a free plan you can actually run on and a mature platform with a large ecosystem. If that is you, read the savings above and then ignore them.

Questions people ask about HubSpot alternatives

What is the closest alternative to HubSpot?

Bigin by Zoho CRM. It is $33 a month cheaper at the size we compare on and gives up nothing we verify, though you should read why it exists before swapping: no two of these do exactly the same job.

How much does HubSpot cost?

HubSpot is free at 1 user, $60 a month at 3 users and $200 at 10 users, read off their own pricing page and re-checked every week.

Why do people look for alternatives to HubSpot?

The jump from Starter to Sales Hub Professional is $20 to $100 a seat plus a compulsory $1,500 onboarding fee on an annual commitment, so a sales team that needs Professional features pays far more than any sales-only CRM here.

How many alternatives to HubSpot are there?

We compare 17 of them here, every one priced at the same size off its own pricing page, and the whole list of 22 is on the crm page.

Should yours be on this list? If you make CRMs for small service businesses and it is not compared here, ask to be shortlisted. Listings are free and cannot be bought.

How to read the feature lines

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a free plan and pricing per user. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.

Or let it pick for you

This page compares everything to HubSpot. The shortlist asks 7 questions about what you need it for and how many people need a login, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
