| Pricing | Not published · free tier: One client free on the Budget Management platform, plus free ADI with a managed data warehouse and 8 campaign-level views | 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 (spend-based tiering) | Subscription (per-seat, plan-gated; AI usage via HubSpot Credits) |
| Best for | Agencies whose expensive, specific problem is budget pacing across many PPC accounts — especially those currently using spreadsheets and scripts, wanting many seats without per-seat cost, and with an analytics function that will exploit the BigQuery/API layer. | 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 buying a full paid-advertising management platform (bidding, creative, audiences, campaign launch), need polished design-flexible client reporting or near-real-time data out of the box, cannot commit without a published price, or want Shape as an independent vendor with its own roadmap. | 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.
