The short version

  • Only HubSpot CRM has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: HubSpot CRM starter tier starts at 15 USD per month per seat and Enterprise features like single sign-on require the 75 USD per month per seat tier; LIFX the Internet Archive's capture of LIFX's products page on 19 July 2016 priced the White 800 bulb at $39.99 USD (890 lumens) and the Color 1000 bulb at $59.99 USD (1,055 lumens); this is a 2016 capture and current prices likely differ.
  • They diverge on capability: HubSpot CRM covers Contact management, LIFX covers No Hub Required.
