How we stack up, tool by tool

The fair version — what each is great at, and where an all-in-one wins.

HubSpot

Free tier

The AI-powered customer platform

Sales/Customer Platform Starter $15/seat/mo; Professional $90/seat/mo plus a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee

Free: Free CRM, but capped at 2 users with forced HubSpot branding

  • $7.99 vs $14 rising to $49 for the popular tier

Zoho CRM

Free tier

Also worth knowing

Insightly pairs CRM with light project management but discontinued its free plan (now $29–$99/user). And none of these CRMs track billable time, log mileage, or send contractor-ready invoices — that loop stays broken unless you bolt on more tools.

Where they genuinely beat us

If your whole business IS outbound sales, a dedicated CRM will out-execute an all-in-one on that one job.

⚖

Marketing automation

HubSpot's email sequences, workflows, reporting dashboards, and marketplace are far deeper. We have no built-in email campaigns or sequences.

⚖

Sales pipelines & forecasting

Pipedrive and Copper offer true multi-stage deal pipelines with forecasting and automated activity capture (Copper auto-logs Gmail).

⚖

Customization & AI

Zoho offers custom modules, blueprints, sales cadences, and Zia AI lead scoring that scale to large sales organizations.

⚖

Integrations & mobile CRM

All of these have mature native/third-party integrations (Gmail/Outlook add-ins, thousands of marketplace apps) and polished dedicated mobile CRM apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free HubSpot or Pipedrive alternative?

Yes. The full client CRM — records, statuses, addresses, notes, activity history, and automatic company enrichment — is free on every tier, with no contact caps. HubSpot's free CRM caps at two users and Pipedrive has no free plan.

Does the CRM connect to invoicing and time?

Yes — each customer record links directly to their projects, tracked time, mileage, and invoices. Standalone CRMs don't track billable time or send invoices.

Does it have a sales pipeline and forecasting?

It's a client-management CRM, not a deal-pipeline sales tool. If your business is high-volume outbound sales with multi-stage pipelines and forecasting, Pipedrive or HubSpot will do that one job better.

What is automatic company enrichment?

When you add a customer with a website, Log My Business scrapes it for a description, logo, contact details, and social links — included free, where comparable enrichment is a paid add-on elsewhere.
