The factors that decide your bill
The tier you choose
Free, Starter, Professional or Enterprise. Each step up unlocks more automation, reporting and customisation.
Paid seats
Sales and Service Hub charge per seat for users who need to send, sequence, book meetings or work tickets.
Marketing contacts
Marketing Hub bills on the count of contacts you actively market to. Non-marketing contacts can be stored without adding to that tier.
Which Hubs you combine
Running one Hub differs from running several. The Customer Platform bundle ties Hubs together at one tier.
Onboarding fees
Professional and Enterprise tiers often carry a one-time onboarding charge, which a partner can sometimes deliver in its place.
Add-ons
Extras like dedicated IP, extra contacts, transactional email or additional API capacity sit on top of your base tier.
What unlocks at each tier
| Factor | Free / Starter | Professional / Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Core CRM | Contacts, companies, deals and basic email work at Free. Starter adds light automation and removes some HubSpot branding. | Same CRM foundation, with more custom properties, objects and granular permissions at the higher tiers. |
| Automation and workflows | Free has minimal automation. Starter unlocks simple, single-action follow-ups. | Professional opens full visual workflows. Enterprise adds advanced triggers, custom-coded actions and more complex branching. |
| Reporting and dashboards | Capped number of dashboards and standard reports. | Custom report builder, higher dashboard limits, and at Enterprise, custom objects and deeper analytics. |
| Marketing tools | Forms, basic email and landing pages, often with HubSpot branding at Free. | A/B testing, smart content, campaign tools and, at Enterprise, multi-touch attribution and advanced segmentation. |
| Sales tooling | Meeting links, basic snippets and limited sequence sends. | Full sequences, forecasting, deal stage automation and, at Enterprise, predictive scoring and playbooks. |
| Team controls | Limited users and shared settings. | Teams, field-level permissions, single sign-on and partitioning at Enterprise for larger or multi-region teams. |
| Pricing driver | Flat or low per-seat cost. Good for testing the platform. | Per-seat and contact-tier cost rises with scale. Built for teams running the platform as their system of record. |
| SEA fit | Workable for a small Bangkok team starting out, often paired with LINE through an integration. | Suits teams scaling across Thailand and the region that need approvals, attribution and tighter governance. |
How to estimate your tier
Start at Free or Starter if…
You are validating the platform, have a small team and a modest contact list, and your automation needs are light. It is a low-risk way to learn how HubSpot fits your workflow before committing budget.
Step up to Professional or Enterprise if…
You need real workflow automation, custom reporting, multiple users sending and sequencing, and you are growing a marketing database that you actively email. The cost is higher, but so is what you operate.
