📣Main points: Which HubSpot Marketing Hub version is good for you?
HubSpot Marketing Hub is a Marketing Software from HubSpot. Marketing Hub helps you attract the right audience, convert more visitors into customers, and run complete inbound marketing campaigns at scale — all your data and tools in an easy-to-use platform.
HubSpot offers four versions of Marketing Hub - Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Today we will talk about the Professional and Starter version.
HubSpot Marketing Hub was built from the ground up as part of HubSpot's complete CRM platform, unlike a lot of software that’s been cobbled together through acquisitions — all to help their customers grow in a better way. With HubSpot Marketing Hub, all your marketing tools and data are in one place. It’s both deeply powerful and uniquely easy to use. Last but not least, you can easily sync Marketing Hub with more than 875 custom integrations so your marketing team has all its favorite tools in one platform.
Popular assets in HubSpot’s marketing software include the ability to:
Marketing Hub Starter
The pricing depends on whether you decide to pay monthly or upfront. If you choose to pay monthly, the pricing starts at 46€/month. If you choose to pay upfront, it costs 41€/month and 497€/year.
It Includes 1,000 marketing contacts. Additional marketing contacts are sold in increments of 1,000 from €41.40/month. (If you don't know what are “marketing contacts”, don´t worry, we will discuss it later)
Marketing Hub Professional
The pricing depends on whether you decide to pay monthly or upfront. If you choose to pay monthly, the pricing starts at 823€/month. If you choose to pay upfront, it costs 740€/month and 8,880€/year.
It Includes 2,000 marketing contacts. Additional marketing contacts are sold in increments of 5,000 from €206.74/month.
HubSpot has two types of contacts - marketing and non-marketing contacts. It is up to you which contacts you choose to set as marketing and non-marketing. You can store your non-marketing contacts in your CRM for free, up to a limit of 15 million overall contacts. However, you cannot target non-marketing contacts with marketing emails or ads. On the other hand, when you set a contact as a marketing one, you can target them with emails and ads.
The limit of marketing contacts is based on what Marketing Hub you purchase, but you can also buy additional ones if you want more of them.
The Marketing Hub Starter and Marketing Hub Professional have many differences. Below you can see the detailed features.
In a nutshell, the Marketing Hub Starter is better if you are a beginner and don't have much time to upkeep with more complex software. It can also be a great choice if you are a smaller company that doesn´t need marketing automation but still wants to grow. Maybe you don't want to jump right into the Professional Hub, or you are just struggling with your current CRM.
The Professional version has basically more powerful tools and most importantly automation which is a must if you want to become a pro. But once again, if you are not sure which one you should choose, do not hesitate to contact us.
