HubSpot pricing starts at $15 per user, per month for its sales, marketing, customer service, content, and operations hubs, as well as its Customer platform that bundles them all together.
Perhaps more importantly, though, HubSpot offers a free forever plan that allows for up to two users, and enables basic functionality across all hubs. This makes HubSpot one of the best CRM for small businesses, offering lots of functionality — like email marketing, customizable quotes, and ticket pipelines — at no cost without a time limit.
In this guide, you’ll learn about the many hubs and pricing plans available with HubSpot, primarily focusing on the Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service Hubs, so you can make the right decision for your business.

HubSpot Pricing Key Takeaways
Before we dive into the many HubSpot hubs and plans and how much they cost, let’s get some of the basics out of the way, so you understand what you’re getting when it comes to the price of this popular CRM.
- Free plan – HubSpot does offer a free forever plan for up to two users that provides sales, marketing, service, content, and operations tools.
- Starting price – All of HubSpot’s hubs start at $15 per user, per month, but prices can vary after that.
- Per user pricing – HubSpot pricing is generally based on a per user basis, so if you have a large team, you’ll have to pay more.
- Free trial – HubSpot does offer a 14-day free trial that allows you access to the premium features before making a financial commitment.
- Competitors – HubSpot pricing is just a tab above average compared to other CRMs, with options like Zoho CRM and Pipedrive costing $14 per user, per month and Salesforce starting at $25 per user, per month.
HubSpot Pricing Plans Explained
HubSpot splits its various services into what it calls “hubs” aimed at a different aspect of running a client-focused business.
- HubSpot Marketing Hub – from $15/user/month to $3,600/month
- HubSpot Sales Hub – from $15/user/month to $150/user/month
- HubSpot Service Hub – from $15/user/month to $150/user/month
- HubSpot Customer Platform – from $15/user/month to $4,300/month
- HubSpot Custom Bundle – from $15/user/month to $4,300/month
These Hubs, as well as the “Customer Platform” plan range, are available in three different tiers: Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Each tier adds features and comes in at a higher price point. The other option is building a custom HubSpot bundle or picking one of the multi-purpose customer platform plans.
How to Choose the Right HubSpot plan
HubSpot’s Marketing Hub Professional plan is a seriously good option if you’re ready to scale up your campaigns, covering both social media and email. It also has enough campaign reporting tools to help you leverage insights from your team’s performance and marketing data.
The same goes for HubSpot’s Sales Hub — the Professional and Enterprise plans are for ambitious sales teams that need a tidy interface for storing all of their client data, but also want to improve their processes with coaching features and analytics tools.
However, this plan level won’t suit all teams. For example, if you’re a marketing team exclusively looking for a cheap email campaigns platform, HubSpot’s Starter plan will suit you better. It only costs $15 per user, per month and it’s got tools for designing newsletters and lots of options for scheduling. Similarly, small sales teams that need a basic sales pipeline only need to invest in the Starter Sales Hub plan.
While the marketing, service, and sales hub Starter plans have limitations, they’re all a big upgrade on HubSpot’s multi-purpose free plan. They provide automation capabilities and advanced team management features that aren’t included in the free package that justify the upgrade for many growing businesses taking on new staff.
If you want access to the advanced AI agent, Breeze, you’ll have to pay for the Professional plan, though, which is definitely a bit more expensive.
HubSpot’s Marketing Hub offers the tools a business needs to attract visitors, convert them to leads, and close more deals – all while keeping long-time customers happy. It’s so robust, in fact, that we consider HubSpot to be the best CRM for marketing available, according to our in-depth research. Here’s a specific breakdown of each plan:
- Starter (1,000 contacts) – $15 per user, per month
- Professional (2,000 contacts) – $900 per month
- Additional users – $45/month
- Enterprise (10,000 contacts) – $3,800 per month
- Additional users – $75/month
Our research shows that HubSpot provides the most functionality across different marketing channels (email, social media, content marketing, and paid marketing) compared to competitors. On top of that, HubSpot offers the best email marketing features in our research, even in its free plan.

The more affordable Starter plan, on the other hand, will let you remove the HubSpot branding and access the platform’s automation features. However, bear in mind that there’s a Professional plan onboarding fee of $3,000 and an Enterprise plan onboarding fee of $7,000, which is significantly more than HubSpot’s other hubs.

HubSpot Sales Hub Costs
The Sales Hub helps a business centralize its activities and track each interaction with leads right down to granular details, like learning when a lead has opened an email. The platform also added lead scoring, which can help you identify the most valuable leads. Sales Hub comes in three premium tiers:
- Starter – $15 per user, per month
- Professional – $90 per user, per month
- Enterprise – $150 per user, per month
In addition to viewing deals and sales pipelines from their dashboard, you’ll be able to keep track of meetings, playbooks, quotes, and conversations, making the customer management process even smoother.

If you’re a small to medium-sized business specifically interested in growth, HubSpot could certainly help you to better manage your customer lifecycle. With all of your customer information in one place, you’ll be able to make faster and better-informed business decisions based on your customer’s digital purchases in real-time, improving productivity.
Our research also shows HubSpot Sales is great for scalability because, at least on the higher-tier plans, it provides an excellent infrastructure for managing sales teams when compared to leading competitors. Additionally, you’ll enjoy one of the top platforms for contact management, according to our research.
What's new with HubSpot?
Like any good CRM, HubSpot is regularly updating its platform to improve the overall experience for users. Some features are robust changes, while others are simple, common-sense updates that make life easier.
For example, in its July 2024 feature drop, HubSpot made it possible to schedule meetings more than one year advance. It may seem trivial, but for those of us that like to plan our schedule as far out as possible, this update was a welcomed improvement.
You’ll also see a few one-time fees in the higher-paying tiers; any business starting at the Professional tier will need to pay a one-time $1,500 fee for a mandatory Quick Start Consultation, or if opting for the Enterprise tier, they’ll need to pay a one-time $3,500 fee for onboarding.
Sales Hub Features
- Website live chat
- Customizable sales pipeline
- Quote proposal management
- List segmentation
- Communication history
- Revenue data views

HubSpot Service Hub Costs
HubSpot’s Service Hub offers customer service software tools that can help a business craft a frictionless customer experience. The hub offers ways to streamline and automate the process (like creating a knowledge base or offering chatbots), and to gather customer feedback via pop-up or native forms. It also has improved the interaction tracking feature for clearer analytics. The three tiers for the Service Hub cost the same as those for the Sales Hub.
- Starter – $15 per user, per month
- Professional – $90 per user, per month
- Enterprise – $150 per user, per month
Our research shows that this plan is on the pricier end of things compared to other service CRM but is the best choice if you’ll be using HubSpot for other functions like sales and marketing.

If used to their fullest potential, Service Hub tools can even turn satisfied customers into advocates for your brand who can bring up additional clients, or who can serve as case studies to promote your business. It all pays for itself — in the B2B space, high customer engagement scores are correlated with 50% higher revenue and sales.
The Service Hub also charges the same one-time fees as the Sales Hub — $1,125 for Professional setup and $3,500 for Enterprise customers.
Service Hub Features
- Email, chatbot, and web-form ticketing
- Email templates
- Website chatbot
- Contact database functionality
- Ticket resolution and response data

HubSpot Customer Platform
HubSpot’s “Customer platform” is its biggest offering. It includes features from all three hubs — Marketing, Sales, and Service — and charges a discounted price compared to what you would pay for all three subscriptions individually. It’s like the free plan in principle, but more commerce and content features are included. There are three plans in total:
- Starter tier starts at $15 per month (1,000 marketing contacts)
- Professional tier starts at $1,170 per month (2,000 marketing contacts)
- Enterprise tier starts at $4,300 per month (10,000 marketing contacts)
HubSpot is frustratingly tight-lipped on how many users are included on each plan – under a small FAQ relating to the users, HubSpot says that “each Customer Platform edition includes a set number of paid users that you can increase on a per-user basis for an additional monthly cost”. There’s no other info available, and as you can tell, this doesn’t say much at all.
However, if you want accurate pricing and a mixture of features, you should create a custom HubSpot bundle. This will give you the freedom to mix and match different plan tiers from any of HubSpot’s industry-specific hubs (more on this in the next section).
HubSpot Customer Bundles and Add-Ons
As we just covered, if you really want to take HubSpot’s customizability to the next level, you can build a bundle of different hub plans from scratch. So, in theory, you could combine the Marketing Hub Starter plan, Sales Hub Professional plan, and Service Hub Enterprise plan and get a cheaper rate than if you were paying for them separately.

HubSpot custom bundle add-ons
There’s also a range of add-ons for HubSpot’s bundles, which you can use to do things like scale your software or increase the number of CRM records you can store. They include:
- API call volume expansion – $500/month
- Custom SSL add-on for additional customization – $100/month
- Reporting limit increase (300+ dashboards and 3,000+ customer reports) – $200/month
- Domain limit increase (knowledge base hosting) – $100/month
- 400+ additional transcription hours for team calls – $250/month
- Sandbox limit increase for large-scale testing – $750/month
- Connected phone number limit increase – $25/month
- Teams limit increase – $200/month
- 10+ extra videos for your site – $50/month
- WhatsApp conversation limit increase – $70/month
- CRM contact records limit increase – $1,700/month
HubSpot’s Free Plan Explained
Yes, HubSpot does offer a free plan. Users can get a stripped-down version of the HubSpot CRM, along with a small selection of the marketing, sales, and service tools that are available from the paid HubSpot hubs. It’s a decent toolkit, if not comprehensive, and it’s all available indefinitely, for unlimited users, totally free. You can try HubSpot for free at any time.

In fact, our research shows that the HubSpot free plan is an excellent choice for small businesses compared to other small-business-focused CRM products – although it’s got nothing on HubSpot’s paid plans, which will upgrade you based on the specific needs of your team, be it marketing, sales, customer service. There are very few team management features, for example, and no automation. There are also limitations, such as only one deal pipeline being allowed per account, and this won’t do for a lot of sales teams.
Granted, you’ll be able to manage contacts, tasks and activities, integrate the CRM with Xero, Gmail, Outlook, and HubSpot Connect, and use a small range of free marketing tools, including team email, live chat, and conversational bots, but there’s no support for social media marketing. And, while some businesses have marketing, sales, and customer service departments, a lot of small businesses won’t necessarily need features that pertain to all three areas.

On top of this, if your team is growing, you’ll eventually run up against a must-have feature that you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan to enjoy – whether it’s the Marketing Hub’s A/B testing abilities referenced earlier, or the Service Hub’s customer video hosting and management.
Free plans aren’t everything, particularly if your business needs can benefit from the added flexibility and centralization that a paid plan’s feature set offers. Be sure to keep that in mind if you want a CRM that can scale with your business.
Software developer HubSpot offers its CRM service for free, or more accurately as a “freemium.” Additional integrations with HubSpot's sales and marketing tools will cost you extra. Still, the CRM's free features beat every other free CRM option on the market. With over 48,000 customers across more than 100 countries since its 2006 launch, HubSpot is a force worth reckoning with, at a price that's hard to beat.
- Established: 2006
- HQ: Cambridge, MA, U.S.
- Intuitive interface
- Additional integrations can be expensive
- Available for free
HubSpot Cost Per User
Per-user pricing is the norm for CRM software, and HubSpot follows suit. Across most HubSpot plan tiers and bundles, the amount businesses pay per month correlates with how many users are using the software.
This makes sense, as it offers a scalable model that ensures startups with just five or six team members can afford a service that is capable of supporting an operation with hundreds or thousands of employees – they just won’t need to pay for the features they don’t need.
The most notable exception is the HubSpot Marketing plan, which (aside from the Starter plan) charges based on the number of contacts in a business’s database, rather than how many users the business employs. In other words, when looking at which HubSpot plans to purchase, a business should consider its number of current employees, as well as how fast it plans to grow in the future.
HubSpot Operations, Content and Commerce Hub Pricing
Along with these CRM products, HubSpot also provides an Operations hub for managing your business processes and customer data, and a content management hub geared towards digital publications and webpages.
HubSpot’s Operations Hub pricing
- Free ($0): the free Operations Hub plan is quite limited compared to the paid plans. However, you’ll still get 10 custom properties per object, tasks & activities, user management, contact management, app marketplace integrations, and email health reporting.
- Starter plan ( $15 per user, per month): On this plan, you’ll get everything in the free plan plus 1,000 custom properties per object, Default field mappings, historical sync, data sync, email health reporting, HubSpot payments, and Email reply tracking.
- Professional ($720 per month): The Professional plan includes everything in the Starter plan plus features like bulk duplicate management, data health trends, scheduled workflow triggers, programmable automation and AI-powered data recommendations
- Enterprise ($2000 per month): This plan includes everything in the Professional plan plus single sign-on, advanced permissions, data calculations, more dashboards, the ability to create datasets, and additional advanced features for large businesses.
HubSpot’s Content Hub pricing
- Free ($0): HubSpot’s free plan is a mix of useful but limiting sales, marketing, operations, customer service, and content tools. it’s nowhere near as capable as the paid plans, but considering you don’t have to pay anything, it’s quite good value.
- Starter plan ( $15 per user, per month): The first content plan includes website pages with built-in assets, web forms, AI blogging, premium hosting, and access to HubSpot’s AI assistants, which can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks from data administration to copy generation.
- Professional ($450 per month): The professional plan is quite a jump up in pricing. It includes everything in the Starter plan as well as expanded custom reporting, A/B testing, smart content for pages, content embedding, dynamic pages, Memberships, and AI translation capabilities.
- Enterprise ($1,500 per month): The Enterprise plan is the plan you’ll need if you’d like to use HubSpot to manage multiple sites. It includes user permissions that will ensure you can limit team access to content and data, content approval processes, custom objects, team organization features, and extensive activity logging.
HubSpot’s Commerce Hub pricing
HubSpot also has a new product called Commerce Hub. Commerce Hub, which the company describes as a “B2B commerce suite.” It includes features like invoices, payment links, and subscriptions, and can integrate it with popular payment processors like Stripe. Right now, you can only “get started for free”. There are no dedicated pricing plans like the other hubs.
HubSpot Pricing vs Competitors
While HubSpot may be one of our top choices for the best CRM software — and the best lead management software we’ve researched — there are plenty of capable HubSpot alternatives out there that might be a better fit for your particular business. Take a look at some of the competitors below and match them up against your specific needs to pick the right one.

HubSpot pricing vs Zoho CRM – starts at $14/user/month
Our research found that Zoho CRM is the best option for small businesses, providing a robust feature catalog at competitive pricing across its many plans. Like HubSpot, Zoho CRM also offers a free plan, although it’s a bit more limited than HubSpot’s, offering even fewer contact management and marketing features.
More specifically, Zoho CRM doesn’t offer marketing drip campaign features in any of its pricing plans, whereas HubSpot offers on all of its plans. HubSpot lags behind a little when it comes to customization, though, not allowing custom task types, which Zoho CRM offers in all paid plans and even its free plan.
All in all, if you’re a small business that needs to get a lot for a low price, Zoho CRM is absolutely the way to go.
Check out our HubSpot vs Zoho CRM guide for more information
Pros
- 15-day free trial
- Includes sales and marketing functionality available in free plan
- Highly customizable dashboards and fields across platform
- Integrate with other Zoho services or the vast app library
Cons
- No spam prevention on web forms
- Onboarding assistance for your team costs extra
- Team management functionality lacks with limited storage space
- Free plan available
- Standard: $14/user/month
- Professional: $23/user/month
- Enterprise: $40/user/month
- Ultimate: $52/user/month
- Plus: $57/user/month
HubSpot pricing vs Salesforce – starts at $25/user/month
Salesforce and HubSpot are surprisingly similar when it comes to pricing. Both offer relatively accessible starter plans but get quite expensive when you reach the enterprise-level plans. For Salesforce, you can spend as much as $330 per user, per month for these kinds of advanced plans.
Like HubSpot, though, Salesforce offers robust functionality, thorough analytics, and strong customer support, so if you have the funds and plan to scale, both of these options are a good fit. In true CRM fashion, each offers specific options the other doesn’t. Salesforce has email auto-response and HubSpot doesn’t. HubSpot has website visitor tracking and Salesforce doesn’t.
Honestly, these two providers are so similar, you’ll really have to dig into the nitty gritty details to find out what exactly will be the right fit for your business.
Check out our HubSpot vs Salesforce guide for more information
Pros
- 30-day free trial
- Vast data collection combined with customizable reporting tools
- Helpful customer support pop-ups throughout platform with 24/7 live support
- Varied pricing plans and industry-specific "Clouds" make it very scalable
Cons
- More expensive than industry average of $15 per user, per month
- 24/7 support will cost extra, adding to price
- Robust analytics probably aren't necessary for smaller businesses
- Starter Suite: $25/user/month
- Pro Suite: $100/user/month
- Enterprise: $165/user/month
- Unlimited: $330/user/month
- Einstein 1 Sales: $500/user/month
- 30-day free trial
HubSpot pricing vs Zendesk – starts at $19/user/month
If you’re looking for helpdesk software, we can’t recommend any CRM more than Zendesk. While HubSpot’s Service Hub is respectable, we found that Zendesk offers more functionality, better prices, and excellent customizability to get exactly what you want out of the platform.
Plus, Zendesk offers omnichannel functionality at a lower price point (only $55 per user per month compared to $800 per month for HubSpot), which is always a perk for those looking to reach customers across multiple channels.
Check out our HubSpot vs Zendesk guide for more information
Pros
- 14-day free trial
- Unmatched selection of customer service features
- Offers good customizability
- Robust help & support tools with 24/7 availability
Cons
- Limited team infrastructure features
- A bit on the expensive side, especially high tier plans
- Most advanced features like AI cost extra
Verdict: Is HubSpot Worth It?
Overall, HubSpot offers a wide range of options for businesses of all sizes. From its affordable Starter plan at only $15 per user, per month to its expensive enterprise-level plans that reach as high as $5,000 per month, HubSpot has an offering for everyone.
The most impressive aspect of HubSpot pricing for a small business is its ability to cater to growing businesses that need to onboard and train staff, as well as implement processes to ensure data is being leveraged efficiently and appropriately to support wider business outcomes – which themselves change as businesses do.
Since it costs nothing, there’s nothing to lose giving HubSpot a try. Although HubSpot can get pricey for larger businesses, considering the feature-rich platform you’ll have access to, it’s definitely worth it.
But if you’re still not sold, there are plenty of other CRM providers out there. Check out our guide to the best CRM for marketing and the best CRM for small businesses to get started.
