HubSpot Sales Hub
A polished general-purpose CRM with the best free training programme in the category. Excellent as a sales and marketing system; like Zoho, it has no insurance data model, and it becomes expensive quickly at the Professional tier.
What it costs
Free tools for up to 2 users. Starter Customer Platform around $20 per seat per month (introductory pricing is lower), Sales Hub Professional about $100 per seat per month and Enterprise about $150, with one-time onboarding fees reported at $1,500 and $3,500 respectively.
Trial and access: Free tier and self-serve signup with no credit card.
Who it suits
- Agencies that value fast staff onboarding and structured training
- Teams already using HubSpot for marketing
- Well-funded agencies comfortable with per-seat costs
- Sales-led organisations with a defined pipeline process

What it does well
- HubSpot Academy is the strongest structured training in this comparison, free and certificated.
- The free tier is genuinely useful and the upgrade path is gradual.
- Clean, fast interface that new staff learn quickly, with excellent documentation.
- Large integration marketplace and a well-documented API.
Where it falls short
- The most expensive route in this comparison once you pass Starter, and Professional onboarding fees are mandatory in year one.
- No insurance objects; policies and commissions are custom properties and custom objects.
- Per-seat pricing punishes agencies that add licensed agents.
- Marketing contact tiers can raise the bill in ways that are hard to predict.
