The business suite you didn't ask for

HubSpot forces you to adopt a full business suite even when you only need marketing. Complex multi-hub navigation, features split across products, and pricing that assumes you'll buy Sales Hub and Service Hub too.

Limited global reach

HubSpot is designed for US and European markets. International SMS is limited and expensive. No WhatsApp means you can't reach customers in markets where WhatsApp is the primary channel.

The biggest objection we hear: "Migration sounds painful." It's not—if you have a team that's done it 100+ times.

  • WEEK 2
