    Our verdict

    EngageBay logo

    EngageBay for a focused suite

    Test it when you need contacts, email and support together without many specialised processes.

    Watch out

    • Free allows 250 contacts. Marketing automation is listed in Growth.
    HubSpot logo

    HubSpot for your connected workflow

    Prioritise it in your trial if work already depends on its CRM, apps or partners.

    Watch out

    • Starter is not all of HubSpot. Price higher-tier requirements before building your operation around it.

    Pricing

    Get started

    EngageBay Free: 250 contacts. Basic: 500 contacts.

    HubSpot Free tools available; Starter is a separate offer.

    A contact allowance alone does not establish equivalent features.

    Paid plans

    EngageBay Basic and Growth show multiple billing periods. Confirm period, seats and total payment at checkout.

    HubSpot New-customer promotion: US$7/seat/month paid annually, or US$10 paid monthly without an annual commitment.

    Time-limited HubSpot promotion observed on 27 September 2026, not a permanent price.

    EngageBay displays several billing-period prices and ambiguous labels in its text rendering; no single price is retained here. HubSpot publishes a new-customer promotion. Check renewal, taxes, contacts and seats in the final quote.

    Should you switch?

    Stay if

    HubSpot already connects reliable data and useful integrations? A lower starting price alone does not justify migration.

    Switch if

    EngageBay reproduces essential workflows in a pilot at a more suitable total cost? Validate exports and history transfer before switching.

    How to test them

    1. Recreate ten test contacts and a three-stage pipeline.
    2. Test a form, assignment, follow-up and support ticket.
    3. Request a whole-team quote including automation and integrations, then test an export.

    Common questions

    Is EngageBay always cheaper?

    No. Promotions, users, contacts and features change the result. Compare annual costs for the same process, including renewal. A suite’s starting price does not prove that every automation or integration you need is included.

    Which HubSpot plan should I compare?

    For a small team needing marketing, sales and service, start with Starter Customer Platform rather than Marketing Hub alone. Then check missing features. If those need a higher edition, request a new quote before deciding.
