HubSpot sells one customer platform in hubs: Marketing, Sales, Service, Content, Data and Revenue. The free tools cover up to 2 users and 1,000 contacts, with no time limit. Starter is $7 per seat a month billed annually, or $10 billed monthly, as a limited-time offer for new customers (the list price is $20). Sales Hub Professional is $90 per seat a month billed annually ($100 list), plus a required one-time onboarding fee of $1,500; Marketing Hub Professional is $800 a month with 3 seats included, plus $3,000 for onboarding (checked 24 October 2026). Service businesses that bill clients usually leave for one of these reasons.
If inbound marketing, email campaigns and marketing automation bring in your new clients, HubSpot is probably still the right tool.

"},{"heading":"Where PLYNTUM fits, and where it does not","html":"PLYNTUM is business management software for agencies and service companies: CRM core, projects and tasks, recorded time, invoices, expenses and receivables in one workspace. It is neither a marketing platform nor a dedicated sales CRM.
Where it does not fit.
Core costs $150 a month for up to 10 members, or $120 a month billed annually. See pricing.
"},{"heading":"When to stay with HubSpot","html":"PLYNTUM has no HubSpot importer. Its CSV import covers clients, employees and expenses, with a preview and an undo within 24 hours; open deals and projects are set up by hand. So move one client at a time.
Start on Launch’s 7-day trial, no card needed; won-deal handoff, timesheet approval, profitability and the client portal need Core. For help planning the move, write to us.
