Overview

HubSpot CRM is the central data layer of HubSpot's customer platform, unifying contacts, companies, deals, and tickets across its Sales, Marketing, Service, Content, Operations, and Commerce Hubs. It is well known for a free starting tier and an emphasis on ease of use, which has made it especially popular with small and mid-sized businesses.

The platform combines pipeline management, email and meeting tracking, sequences, quoting, and reporting with a unified contact timeline. HubSpot has added AI capabilities under the Breeze brand, including content assistance, prospecting agents, and conversational tools that operate on CRM data.

HubSpot connects to ERP and accounting systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics through its App Marketplace, native and third-party connectors, and a well-documented REST API. These integrations typically sync companies, deals, orders, and invoices so revenue teams and finance share consistent customer records.

ERP integrations

SAPHubSpot Integration for SAP Sales Cloud (Elixir Solutions)
Certified marketplace app
Reads from ERPContacts

SAP Store listing (verified via local SAP Store dump) by third-party publisher Elixir Solutions, built on SAP Integration Suite. Narrow scope: syncs only first name, last name, and email one-way from SAP Sales Cloud into HubSpot. The slice's original "Sage Intacct" claim for HubSpot could not be evidenced anywhere and has been dropped.

NetSuiteHubSpot + NetSuite (App Marketplace / third-party connectors)
Open API
Bi-directionalContactsDealsInvoices

HubSpot itself does not publish a native NetSuite connector on suiteapp.com; sync is delivered by third-party apps in the HubSpot App Marketplace (e.g. Celigo, Boomi) built on HubSpot's public REST API.

QuickBooksHubSpot + QuickBooks Online (App Marketplace connectors)
Open API
Bi-directionalContactsDealsInvoices

Sync is delivered via third-party App Marketplace connectors and HubSpot's Operations Hub data sync framework rather than a single HubSpot-built QuickBooks product we could directly verify.

Microsoft Dynamics 365HubSpot + Dynamics 365 (iPaaS)
Open API
Bi-directionalContactsDeals

Via third-party iPaaS connectors and HubSpot's public REST API; no native certified connector evidenced.

Pricing

Full HubSpot CRM pricing breakdown — cost at 25/100/500 seats, competitor rates & FAQs

Model
Free tier available; per-seat subscription above it
Starting price
$0 (free CRM); Sales Hub Starter from $20/seat/month
Free trial
Yes

HubSpot's free CRM is genuinely free and capped at 1,000 contacts, but the cost curve above it is steep and seat-based. Sales Hub runs about $20/seat/month on Starter, $90-$100/seat/month on Professional and $150/seat/month on Enterprise. The line buyers miss is mandatory onboarding: roughly $1,500 for Professional and $7,000 for Enterprise in year one. Marketing Hub is priced separately on contact tiers rather than seats, so a business buying both is stacking two different pricing models. Costs compound quickly with headcount because every paid seat is charged individually. Get an independent shortlist with pricing guidance below.

What does HubSpot CRM cost?

HubSpot CRM publishes a list price. Enter your seat count for an annual figure at that rate.
