| Pricing | $39/month for 1–2,500 people · free tier: None — 14-day trial, no credit card required; unlimited emails not available during trial and account goes inactive on expiry, pausing active forms and campaigns | Sales Hub Starter: page displays both "Starts at $7/mo/seat" and "$20/mo/seat" against a Pay Annually / Pay Monthly toggle (split not unambiguously labelled) · free tier: $0/mo for up to 2 users, no credit card; maximum 1 personal meetings link with forced HubSpot branding, 1 deal pipeline, 3 email templates, 3 snippets |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription (per-seat, plan-gated; AI usage via HubSpot Credits) |
| Best for | Small-to-mid Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce or BigCommerce stores with roughly 2,500–25,000 contacts wanting real behavioural automation and segmentation without enterprise pricing — especially migrating off Mailchimp — and agencies needing unlimited sub-accounts at the base price. | Sales teams already committed to HubSpot CRM — either 2 or fewer users wanting a free branded link, or a funded team on Starter needing team/round-robin links with branding removed and automatic CRM logging. |
| Avoid if | You are a B2B or non-ecommerce marketer needing CRM and lead-scoring features, a high-volume sender with a large list who needs predictable cost at scale, a team that needs SMS as a first-class channel, a buyer under 2,500 contacts hunting a free tier, or an organisation requiring guaranteed real-time support at low spend. | You want a scheduler and nothing else (you are effectively buying a CRM), you need more than one link without a CRM, you require month-to-month exit flexibility or pro-rated refunds, or you cannot absorb $1,500–$3,500 mandatory onboarding at Professional/Enterprise. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
