| Pricing | Not published — Square Plus is paid per active location; exact per-location dollar figure not confirmed on the vendor plans page · free tier: Square Free — no monthly subscription cost; you only pay processing fees when you take a payment, with all POS modes and Square Banking included | 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 | Freemium | Subscription (per-seat, plan-gated; AI usage via HubSpot Credits) |
| Best for | Single-location or few-location retail, food and service sellers who already use or want Square in person, need one catalogue and one payout account, and want to launch a store at zero subscription risk. | 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 run many locations (per-location billing multiplies the cost of one website), you need deep template and brand control for a design-led DTC store, you take heavy international card volume, or you want payments decoupled from your site platform. | 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.
