HubSpot's free tier is a loss leader. The moment you need deals, bookings, or email campaigns, the price jumps fast. COLABR8 TECH gives you the full platform — CRM, pipelines, bookings, inbox, social media, email campaigns, and AI — from £49/month flat.
HubSpot is one of the best-known names in CRM, but its pricing model is engineered to grow with you in a way that hurts. The base tiers are deliberately limited — deals pipelines, bookings, and marketing tools are locked behind paid upgrades. For a growing SME or agency in the UK, the real monthly cost of HubSpot often lands well above £200 once you add the features you actually need. COLABR8 TECH was built as a direct response to this: one flat price, full platform, no gotchas.
See exactly what each platform includes — no marketing spin.

HubSpot's pricing is a ladder you climb whether you want to or not. Deals, scheduling, email marketing, and AI are all paid extras. COLABR8 TECH bundles everything from the start — one price, full platform.
HubSpot's base CRM is deliberately limited to upsell you. COLABR8 TECH's Starter plan is a complete operating system — contacts, pipelines, bookings, and tasks — ready to use on day one.
HubSpot has no white-label capability and no multi-tenant architecture. COLABR8 TECH was designed from the ground up for agencies that need to run client accounts and brand the platform as their own.
What you actually pay at different team sizes.
| Scenario | COLABR8 TECH | HubSpot |
|---|---|---|
Solo operator CRM + Pipelines only at HubSpot base | £49/mo | £45/mo+ |
5-person team, full CRM + email HubSpot requires Sales + Marketing hubs | £69/mo | £300–500/mo |
10-person team, all features HubSpot per-seat + multiple hubs | £99/mo | £800–1,200/mo |
Agency with white-label needs HubSpot has no white-label tier | £99/mo | Not available |
We replaced three separate tools with COLABR8 TECH. Our team now works from one place and we actually know what's happening across every client.
The white-label feature is what sold us. Our clients think it's our own platform. Nothing like that exists in HubSpot.
Finally a CRM that includes booking scheduling without a painful add-on charge. We were paying HubSpot £400 a month for less than this.
