About Hubspot
HubSpot is an all-in-one CRM platform founded in 2006 by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah, who coined the term 'inbound marketing.' The platform offers a free CRM at its core, with paid Hubs for marketing automation, sales pipeline management, customer service, content management, and operations. HubSpot's marketing hub includes email marketing, landing pages, SEO tools, social media scheduling, and lead nurturing workflows. The sales hub provides deal pipelines, meeting scheduling, email tracking, and AI-powered sales tools. Over 205,000 customers in 135 countries use HubSpot, ranging from small businesses to enterprises. HubSpot's free CRM with unlimited users and contacts is one of the most generous offerings in the industry, making it accessible to early-stage companies. Paid plans start at $45/month for starter hubs and scale to enterprise plans at $3,600+/month. HubSpot went public in 2014 and is one of the leading CRM platforms globally, competing directly with Salesforce, Pipedrive, and ActiveCampaign.
