What is pricing

HubSpot's pricing can be a bit complex because it's structured around its various "Hubs" (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS, Operations, Commerce) and then further broken down into different tiers within each Hub (Free, Starter, Professional, Enterprise).

Here's a general overview of HubSpot's pricing model:

1. Free CRM:

  • Core Functionality: HubSpot offers a robust free CRM that serves as the foundation for all its products. This includes essential tools like contact management, deal tracking, task management, basic reporting, and integrations with Gmail/Outlook.
  • Limited Features: While powerful for a free tool, the free CRM has limitations in terms of advanced features, automation, reporting, and support compared to paid tiers. It's an excellent starting point for small businesses and startups to get familiar with the platform.

2. Paid Hubs (Starter, Professional, Enterprise): For more advanced features and scalability, businesses subscribe to individual Hubs or bundles of Hubs. Pricing for these tiers typically depends on:

  • The specific Hub: Each Hub (Marketing, Sales, Service, etc.) has its own pricing structure.
  • The tier (Starter, Professional, Enterprise):
    • Starter: Designed for small businesses and individuals, offering more features than the free version but still with some limitations. They often have a per-seat (user) cost.
    • Professional: Aimed at growing businesses, providing more robust automation, reporting, and customization options. These tiers often have a base cost that includes a certain number of seats and marketing contacts, with additional costs for more.
    • Enterprise: For large organizations with complex needs, offering advanced features, deeper customization, and dedicated support. These are typically the most expensive tiers with higher base costs and potential onboarding fees.
  • Number of users (seats): Most paid plans are priced per user or per "seat." As you add more users to your account, your cost increases.
  • Number of marketing contacts (for Marketing Hub): The Marketing Hub's pricing is also tied to the number of marketing contacts you have in your database. You often get a certain number included, and then pay extra for additional increments of contacts.
  • Onboarding fees: For Professional and Enterprise tiers, especially with larger deployments, HubSpot often charges a one-time onboarding or implementation fee to help you set up and get started with the platform.

General Pricing Ranges (as of mid-2025 - these can change):

  • Starter Hubs: Often start around $20 - $50 per month per seat (or with a small base price that includes one seat).
  • Professional Hubs: Can range from $100 - $890+ per month, depending on the Hub, number of seats, and marketing contacts. These often come with a yearly commitment and an onboarding fee.
  • Enterprise Hubs: Can start from $150 - $3,600+ per month, with significant upfront costs for onboarding and typically requiring an annual commitment.

Important Considerations:

  • Bundles (CRM Suite): HubSpot also offers "CRM Suite" bundles that combine multiple Hubs at a potentially discounted rate compared to purchasing them individually.
  • Annual vs. Monthly: Paying annually often provides a discount compared to monthly payments.
  • Add-ons: There can be additional costs for certain add-on features, extra storage, or higher usage limits.
  • Current Promotions: HubSpot frequently runs promotions and discounts, especially for new customers or those paying annually.

To get the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for your specific needs, it's highly recommended to:

  1. Visit the official HubSpot pricing page: This is the most reliable source for current pricing details, feature breakdowns per tier, and any ongoing promotions.
  2. Contact HubSpot sales: For more complex needs or to discuss enterprise solutions, speaking directly with a HubSpot sales representative will allow you to get a custom quote.
