HubSpot charges you per contact, per hub, per seat, and per onboarding.
Marketing Hub Professional is $890/mo before you add Sales Hub, extra contacts, or additional seats. Intempt puts marketing, sales, analytics, and AI in one plan. From $24/seat/mo.
Why teams leave
Why marketing teams are leaving HubSpot
Real complaints from real users, pulled from review platforms, community forums, and customer migration calls.
HubSpot bills you for marketing contacts. You start with 2,000. At 10,000 contacts you are paying $890 base + $400/mo in contact overages. At 25,000 contacts the overage alone is $1,150/mo. Your bill grows with your list whether those contacts buy or not.
Marketing and Sales are separate products with separate pricing. Marketing Hub Professional ($890/mo) plus Sales Hub Professional ($90/seat/mo for 10 seats = $900/mo) is $1,790/mo before contact overages or onboarding fees. And you still need a third tool for product analytics.
HubSpot charges a mandatory $3,000 onboarding fee for Marketing Hub Professional and $1,500 for Sales Hub Professional. That is $4,500 before you send your first email or create your first sequence.

In their words
The teams that made the switch

“We were losing visitors before they signed up. Intempt's personalized experiences changed that - we started meeting people where they were instead of guessing. Once they're in, Intempt's automated email takes over and keeps the relationship moving. Acquisition and retention finally feel like one connected motion instead of two separate problems.”
Jim Stromberg, CEO
StockInvest
Case Study
StockInvest needed to turn anonymous traffic into registered users before any retention strategy could work. With Intempt's Experiences, they personalized the anonymous visitor flow, surfacing the right content and CTAs to boost signup conversion. Once users signed up, automated Journeys nurtured them through onboarding and deeper engagement, steadily increasing lifetime value.
