The HubSpot Problem

What started as simple marketing automation has become a complex maze of add-ons, hubs, and hidden costs that bog down sales teams.

Add-On Trap

Most HubSpot customers end up paying for multiple hubs and add-ons to get complete CRM functionality

Configuration Overload

Initial setup and configuration typically requires weeks of dedicated admin time

AI Bolt-On

AI features added as expensive afterthoughts, not built into core platform

Breeze AI costs extra $20-$60/seat/mo

Sales Rep Friction

Lower feature adoption - reps often avoid the complex interface and manual data entry requirements

Common Questions About Switching

Can I keep my HubSpot workflows?

Yes! Our AI can recreate most HubSpot workflows automatically. For complex workflows, our team will work with you during migration to rebuild them in SalesOS (usually takes 30-60 minutes). Most customers find our workflow builder simpler and more powerful than HubSpot's.

What happens to my HubSpot forms and landing pages?

SalesOS includes form builder and landing page capabilities. We can migrate your existing forms, or you can recreate them quickly with our visual builder. Many customers keep HubSpot's free Marketing Hub for forms/pages and connect it to SalesOS for the actual CRM and sales workflows.

Will my integrations still work?

We have pre-built integrations for 50+ popular tools including Slack, Zapier, LinkedIn, DocuSign, and more. If you use a tool we do not support yet, you can connect it via Zapier or our API. Our integration team can also build custom integrations for enterprise customers.

Do you offer a HubSpot buyout program?

Yes! If you are locked into a HubSpot annual contract, we will cover up to 3 months of your remaining contract value when you switch to SalesOS annual plan. Contact sales for details on our HubSpot buyout program.

How long can we run both platforms in parallel?

Most teams do a 2-week parallel run to ensure everything is working perfectly. We will set up bi-directional sync so updates in either system flow to the other during your transition period. After 2 weeks, 95% of teams are comfortable turning off HubSpot completely.
