What HubSpot (Sales Hub and free CRM) is good at

  • Free CRM has no expiration date and needs no credit card.
  • Free tools include deal pipelines, email tracking, templates, meeting scheduling and quotes.
  • Starter is $20 per seat a month billed monthly, or $7 billed annually.

Where HubSpot (Sales Hub and free CRM) breaks

  • You outgrow the free limits: 2 users, 1,000 contacts, 3 email templates, 10 custom properties and 2,000 email sends a month (HubSpot product catalog).
  • You move up to Professional: it is $90 per seat a month billed annually plus a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee (pricing page).
  • You dislike price jumps and auto-renewal: Trustpilot reviewers (1.5/5 from 1,174 reviews) complain about cost increases and contracts that auto-renewed.

When a custom build beats HubSpot (Sales Hub and free CRM)

When you only track a short list of deals, a simple spreadsheet or small database does the job; once several people share a pipeline, the free CRM is hard to beat.
