HubSpot Free CRM vs paid Hubs
HubSpot Free offers unlimited contacts and a fully functional CRM at no cost. The paid Hubs (Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub) add automation, sequences, reporting, and advanced features on top of the free CRM. Canceling paid Hubs drops you back to free, not zero. Your contacts and deal data remain.
