How Much Does HubSpot Cost?

If you're evaluating HubSpot to improve your sales, marketing, and service, you've probably come across so many options that it can be overwhelming. The Five different Hubs, each of the Hubs has four versions(Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise versions), plus the add-ons you can purchase on top, certainly give you a lot to analyze.

HubSpot has Five hubs or modules, and each of these offers four different versions. There is a completely free and functional version for each of the hubs, albeit with certain limitations.

For starters, you can expect to pay $50 per month for each of these hubs (sales, marketing, and service) with additional fees if you have a large number of contacts or large teams.

This article will explain everything you need to know about each module's functionality and prices to help you make an informed decision that will benefit your company.

HubSpot comes in 5 different packages you can purchase separately or combined as part of an integrated CRM platform.

HubSpot has five Hubs

• MarketingHub
• Sales Hub
• Service Hub
• CMS Hub
• Operations Hub

First, let's explain what these Hubs do.

Marketing Hub

HubSpot Marketing Hub is a marketing automation tool that covers every aspect of online marketing. You can use it to create landing pages, design email campaigns, blog posts, automate your marketing workflows, and much more.

Sales Hub

The HubSpot Sales Hub is a time-saving tool that lets you automate busy work and get insights into your prospects. It also works within the CRM platform to allow for better inter-team collaboration.

Sales Hub helps you prioritize your outreach and predict pipeline health, leverage automation, create and share sales enablement content, report on rep efficiency with robust forecasting and sales analytics.

Service Hub

Service Hub brings all your customer service data and channels into one place to help you scale your support.

CMS Hub

CMS Hub is a comprehensive solution for managing all your website needs. It has everything you could need, from building and maintaining your website pages, blogs, landing pages, forms, call-to-actions.

Operations Hub

Operations Hub is a new product line from HubSpot that connects your apps, syncs and cleans your customer data, and automates your business process. This product unites your company around a single source of truth and frees your operations team from reactive busywork.

Each Hub has four subscription levels ranging from the most basic to the most complete:

• Free
• Starter
• Professional
• Enterprise.

The subscription levels allow you to choose the combination that works best for you; for example, you can start with the Enterprise Marketing Hub while trying the Free version of the Sales or Service Hub. However, if you are going to purchase 3 Hubs, you qualify for a Growth-Suite discount.

If you not sure which subscription level is right for you, you can also start with the lower-cost subscription level and upgrade as you need.

Free CRM forever!

One of the first things you may notice when you go to HubSpot's pricing page is that they have a free CRM for life, with no gimmicks or fine print.

The CRM will work as the database of all your contacts in which you can store up to 1 million records of Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets.

Any HubSpot portal you create will have a free CRM and a no-cost version of all three hubs (marketing, sales, and service). These tools will allow you to get a clearer picture of HubSpot's functionality and become familiar with the software. 

One of the main pricing differences between the Marketing Hub and the Service Hub and Sales Hub is the pay-per-seat pricing model.

The Marketing Hub does not limit the number of users that can access the portal tools; whether it is 1 or 10 users, the cost remains the same.

With the sales and service Hubs, the license cost is based on a price per user model, which means that a user must have a paid seat to access the Sales Hub or Service Hub functionality. 

To make this guide easy to follow, we'll list each Hub and explain the different features and limitations available in each subscription level and the type of companies that can benefit from each subscription level.

Marketing Hub

Free

The no-cost version of the Marketing Hub is free forever.

With this free version, you can create forms, use live chat and simple chatbots, manage your contact records and send marketing emails.
