Only the pipeline matters
A few reps sell through referrals and phone calls, and marketing runs no campaigns that need to tie back to deals.
Pipedrive runs a sales pipeline well. HubSpot is the better pick when reps need marketing and customer service in the same system. Pricing and features compared below.
Prices per the vendors’ price lists, October 2026, per seat per month unless stated otherwise. For new accounts in Europe since October 1, 2026, HubSpot sells a single platform edition that covers all hubs, priced in seats and credits: on Professional, a GTM seat is €90 per month billed annually (€100 billed monthly), an Ops seat starts at €50, and the account gets 10,000 HubSpot credits a month.

A few reps sell through referrals and phone calls, and marketing runs no campaigns that need to tie back to deals.
A separate team handles customer requests in its own tool, and nobody plans to change that.
Most customers arrive through referrals, so a campaign revenue report would go unused.
Reps see opened emails, website visits and submitted forms on the customer record. In Pipedrive, email marketing is a paid add-on.
HubSpot builds the report from first website visit to closed deal, with no spreadsheet exports.
Open customer issues sit on the same company record as deals, so reps know about them before the call.
The assistant summarizes what has happened with a customer, using data from deals, emails and tickets.
Pipedrive costs less on the license alone. The gap shrinks once you add its add-ons and separate tools for email and landing pages.
I move people, organizations, deals and emails after a field review and a test import. Pipedrive stays available for reference.
Pipedrive migration
I am a HubSpot consultant. I work in HubSpot every day: I implement it, train teams and connect it with the rest of the company’s systems. My advice comes from what has worked across dozens of portals.
On the license alone, yes. Prices are in the table above. The gap shrinks once you add Pipedrive add-ons and separate tools for email, landing pages and reporting. I’ll run the numbers for your seats and contacts.
Marketing automation built on contact lifecycle stages, landing pages, ad management, tickets and a report that ties deals to campaigns. Both systems handle pipelines, email sequences and meeting scheduling.
You can, and a sync passes contacts both ways. But then scoring can’t see deals, and someone builds the campaign revenue report by hand. I’d move sales and marketing into one HubSpot portal.
I start with a field review. Each field maps to an existing property, gets a new one or stays in the archive. The sync moves people, organizations and deals, and I move email content through the API.
No. Reps work in Pipedrive until switchover day, and I lock edits only during the final import. After that, Pipedrive stays available for reference.
We’ll work it out on the call, once I know your process. You pay for the HubSpot license separately, directly to HubSpot.
Thirty minutes, free. Tell me what you want to do and I'll tell you where to start.
