Should I Upgrade my HUBSPOT?

You're on the high dive, you're ready to take the plunge. It didn't seem that tall from the side of the pool. But you are dedicated and committed to take this step because you know it will help you grow. You know this first jump is one of many. It's an investment in your future..... Guess we are not talking about the diving board anymore. So, how do you know what HubSpot plan is best for you?

Deciding to upgrade from your HubSpot Free account can be a big commitment for a small business or nonprofit. Large organizations across the world rely on HubSpot and at Member Center, we believe you should have the same quality tools as the big guys. But working with numerous HubSpot users, has given us some insight about the best tools to pick and why and we would love to share the burden of your big jump. 

Do not upgrade to Starter.

There is almost nothing that you need in the starter package that you can not achieve with the free version of HubSpot and a plug-in. Obviously there are a few exceptions, but we have found there is almost always a workaround using a plug-in or service like Zapier. One exception to this rule is when accepting payments, but only because depending on otherother form or registration tools you may or may not get a better deal.

Start with Sales Hub Professional

If you are budget conscious  and interested in our other content, we are going to make a bet that HubSpot Sales Professional is the best upgrade for you. Why? Well, you probably actually would prefer Marketing Professional, but at $800, sales professional's price tag of $450 seems a lot more reasonable and many of the most significant features can be achieved with this plan.

​HubSpot Sales Professional

• Automation with Sequences and Workflows
• Send up to 5,000 emails a day
• Create up to 1,000 active lists
• Accept payments

​
That is not to say that HubSpot Marketing Professional will be the best plan, but it is the most cost effective option for the included features and a great place to start.

Look for the discount

Did you know that HubSpot offers significant discounts to nonprofits and Startups? Talk to a HubSpot sales rep, they are helpful in making the determination for what is best for you, but also for helping you find a good deal.
