About HubSpot
HubSpot started as a marketing tool and grew into a full customer platform covering sales, marketing, and service. Its free CRM is one of the most generous on the market, with unlimited free users and a large contact allowance, which makes it the most common starting point for UK businesses moving off spreadsheets.
The catch is the jump to paid tiers. Starter is affordable per seat and bills in pounds, but Professional is several times the price and adds a mandatory one-time onboarding fee. Businesses that outgrow Starter often feel the pinch at that step.
HubSpot was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Cambridge, USA.
