My team (3 of us) is currently using the free version of Hub Spot CRM/ Sales. The tool is really useful, but I'm starting to bump up against the limits of the free version- specifically the templates. Unfortunately, if we want to upgrade, we go from free to to $50/ month/ user ($150/ month). That's a pretty big jump. Anyone have suggestions or alternatives?
Thanks James. Posted that a while ago. As an update, we stuck with Hubspot, but were able to negotiate a better rate for a while. However, we wound up getting really hooked on the service and eventually wound up paying significantly more for the Marketing+Sales plan- though we got it for a better rate than publicly advertised. They are a fairly young platform, so they seem to be willing to be flexible on price.
That's good if you found something that really helps your business. You may pay more but hopefully you'll get it back.
