what HubSpot actually costs in 2026

published list price

Marketing Hub Starter $7/mo · Professional $800/mo · Enterprise $3,600/mo

unit: per month (platform) + per seathttps://www.hubspot.com/pricing/marketingchecked 25 Aug 2026

startups often jump straight to Professional ($800/mo) for one feature; the free CRM plus Starter tools cover most 5-50 person needs.

what companies your size actually pay

We have read 4 HubSpot invoices so far, which is fewer than the five we require before publishing a range. Until then this page shows published list pricing only, above.

the levers that work

  • Starter tier promo: up to 65% off for new customers, monthly or annual
  • Professional and Enterprise require a mandatory one-time onboarding fee ($3,000 and $7,000 respectively) that is negotiable with sales
  • additional seats and marketing contacts are billed incrementally; staying under contact tier thresholds avoids step-function price jumps

Across the audits we have run, roughly 30% of a small company's HubSpot line is recoverable without changing provider.

A published price is not a quote. In a full audit we email the alternative as a disclosed agent for your company and get a real price for your exact usage — which is the number your incumbent actually responds to.

Drop last quarter's invoices. We name every line you are overpaying, with an annualized amount, free. The full audit is $299 once: it gets a real quote from the alternative for your exact usage and runs the renegotiation with your incumbent until there is an answer. If it does not identify at least $2,990/yr, we refund it in full.
