Home / vs HubSpot

Different tools, often confused.

HubSpot is a CRM and marketing platform built to scale with a marketing team. We replace a stack for businesses that do not have one.

What you are comparing

The published numbers, as at 27 August 2026.

HubSpot Marketing Hub Starter is $7 per seat per month billed annually. Professional is $800 a month on annual billing, including three seats and 2,000 marketing contacts, plus a mandatory one-off $3,000 Professional Onboarding fee. Enterprise starts at $3,600 a month with a $7,000 onboarding fee.

We are £299 a month on a 24-month term, or £329 on 12 months, with a one-off onboarding fee.

Those numbers are not the argument, and comparing them directly is misleading. HubSpot Starter is cheaper than us. HubSpot Professional does things we do not. What actually differs is scope, and who is expected to operate it. Prices were checked against the vendor’s own published pricing page on 27 August 2026 and are quoted in the currency they publish. Vendors change pricing without notice, so check theirs before deciding.

Point by point

Where each one is genuinely stronger.

HubSpot is stronger on CRM depth

Reporting, attribution, custom objects and sales pipeline sophistication go far beyond what we offer. If you have a marketing team who will use that depth, HubSpot earns it.

HubSpot is stronger on ecosystem

A very large app marketplace, a large partner network and an enormous body of documentation and training.

We include the creative

AI ad creative, product and UGC-style video and a brand kit are inside the subscription. In HubSpot the creative is your job or your agency’s.

We include the answering

A 24/7 AI receptionist answers calls, WhatsApp, DMs and forms, and books appointments. HubSpot does not answer your phone.

We include the social management

Scheduling across eight channels with a unified inbox. In HubSpot, social is a Professional-tier feature and does not cover DMs the way a dedicated inbox does.

We are built to be operated for you

Every plan starts with a build. HubSpot is sold as software you or an agency configure and run, which is why the onboarding fee exists.

How it starts

A free System Score, before you spend anything.

We run a free audit of what you currently pay across creative, social, email, CRM, answering and reviews, and what each tool is actually doing for you. If HubSpot is the right answer, we will say so.

You get a clear breakdown of what's working, what's leaking, and what it would cost to fix. Takes about 20 minutes on a video call. No obligation, and you keep the findings either way.

If you want us to build it, plans start at £299/month on a 24-month term (£329 on 12 months) plus a one-off onboarding fee that covers the actual build work.

Straight answers

Straight answers about this comparison.

When is HubSpot the better choice?

When you have a marketing team who will use the reporting and attribution depth, when you need custom objects and complex pipelines, or when you are already committed to the HubSpot ecosystem. If that is you, we are not a better fit and we will say so on the call.

When are we the better choice?

When there is no marketing team. If nobody is going to log in daily, configure workflows and produce creative, software depth is not the constraint. Getting the work done is.

Is this a fair price comparison?

Not directly, and we would rather say so. HubSpot Starter at $7 per seat is cheaper than us. The fair comparison is our plan against what you would spend to get the same scope: a marketing platform, a social tool, a creative source and an answering service.

Does HubSpot have an AI receptionist?

HubSpot has chat and AI assistants within its own product. It does not answer your telephone, take a booking and put it in your diary, which is what we mean by an AI receptionist.

Can we use both?

Yes. Some businesses keep HubSpot as the CRM and use us for creative, social and answering. The audit will tell you whether that overlap is worth paying for twice.

Do you migrate our data from HubSpot?

Contact and pipeline data can be exported from HubSpot and imported during onboarding. We will be honest during the audit about anything that will not transfer cleanly.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at £299 a month on a 24-month term, or £329 on 12 months, plus a one-off onboarding fee that covers the build work. Full detail is on our pricing page.

Are these prices current?

Prices were checked against the vendor’s own published pricing page on 27 August 2026 and are quoted in the currency they publish. Vendors change pricing without notice, so check theirs before deciding.
