Software comparisons where the price is on the page.

What this site does

Most software comparisons rank by who pays the most. We do the boring part instead: pull the real list price, do the seat math for a 3-person and a 10-person team, and show what year one actually costs once onboarding fees are added.

Pick a plan, set your seat count, add the one-time fee. Get the year-one total, the cost per seat, and what your budget actually buys.

HubSpot vs Pipedrive vs Salesforce: what each really costs a small team

Entry plans start at $7 to $25 a seat. The pro tiers jump to $100+ a seat, and one of them adds a $3,000 onboarding fee before you send a single email.

Pricing tables

CRM list prices, October 2026: every tier, with the seat math

Six vendors, three team sizes, year-one totals. Monthly and annual billing side by side, so the discount isn't hiding the fee.

Vendor deep dive

HubSpot pricing explained: seats, the $3,000 fee, and the promo that ends

What each tier includes, what "included seats" means when you hire, and the one number that decides whether Starter is a bridge or a trap.

Fees

Onboarding fees are the line nobody budgets for

HubSpot charges $3,000 on Professional and $7,000 on Enterprise. What the fee actually buys, when vendors waive it, and how to ask.

Method

How we pick, and what we won't do

We check every price on the day we publish, we publish if a tool loses, and we name the affiliate relationship when one exists.

Why the numbers matter more than the feature grid

Feature grids are copy-pasted between review sites. Prices are not, because prices change and nobody re-checks them. A comparison that says "HubSpot is more expensive" tells you nothing. A comparison that says the Professional tier costs $890 a month for three seats, plus a one-time $3,000 onboarding fee, tells you whether you can afford it this quarter.

Every table on this site lists the source page and the date we read it. If a vendor changes a price, the date on the table is how you know the number is stale.
