HubSpot

  • Free tier limited to 2 users and 1,000 contacts; severely restricts growing teams
  • Many advanced features (automation workflows, custom objects, advanced reporting) gated to paid tiers
  • Starter plan at $7/month per seat scales quickly for larger teams (300+ users would cost significantly more)
  • Free tier removes credit card requirement but lacks most enterprise capabilities

Vtiger

  • Free One Pilot plan caps at 10 users and 3,000 records with 3 GB storage
  • One Growth plan is limited to 15 users
  • Standard users on One Enterprise cost $42 per user per month billed, more than double the Single App User rate of $30
