Migrate in 1-3 hours
- 1Export your HubSpot contacts, companies, deals, activities (CSV via settings).
- 2Bulk import via POST /api/crm/contacts/import — we preserve relationships.

When to choose HubSpot instead
We're not right for everyone. Here's when HubSpot is the better pick:
- •You need HubSpot's enterprise-grade marketing automation (complex multi-channel workflows).
- •Your team is already trained + certified on HubSpot, and switching cost exceeds the savings.
- •You rely on specific HubSpot integrations (complex Salesforce sync, specific BI tools) with no equivalent yet.
Common questions
HubSpot's CRM is huge and mature. Where do you stand?+
HubSpot Core CRM is excellent — we match its contact/deal/activity fundamentals today. Where we lag: email send+track, lead scoring, rich reporting (Q2 2026 parity). Where we already beat them: we include a full builder, AI, database, payments, and WP/Shopify agent — HubSpot charges $800+/mo per hub for any of that.
Isn't HubSpot CRM free?+
Free CRM is real but capped (~1M contacts, limited automation, HubSpot branding). Real functionality starts at $20/seat Sales Hub and scales to $1,200/seat Enterprise. Marketing Hub starts at $20 and scales to $3,600/mo. Our $20 entry covers CRM + Builder + everything else.
What about HubSpot's marketing automation?+
Their workflows are mature. We launch platform webhooks + form triggers + CRM automation in Q2 2026 — enough for most SMB use cases. For enterprise-grade multi-channel orchestration, HubSpot still wins — we're focused on SMB-to-midmarket.
Do you integrate with HubSpot?+
Yes, two-way sync via webhook — push our CRM contacts to HubSpot or pull HubSpot deals into our pipelines. Some customers run both in parallel during migration.
Custom objects?+
Our `custom_fields` per-contact is a dict — flexible but less structured than HubSpot's custom objects. Enterprise feature parity on our roadmap (Q3 2026).
What about HubSpot CMS?+
HubSpot CMS is $25-$3,600/mo. Our builder is included. That's the biggest dollar delta.
