Las 7 mejores alternativas a HubSpot CRM en 2025

Learn what easy-to-use CRMs are better for SMBs

So you’re looking for a HubSpot alternative? You’re not alone. Many small businesses are drawn in by HubSpot’s brand and its free CRM, hoping for an all-in-one solution to manage their customer relationships.

However, you’ve probably discovered that to get the sales features you really need – like multiple pipelines, advanced automation, or detailed reporting – you’re facing a steep price jump and a platform that’s often more complex than necessary for a small team.

The good news is, there are fantastic alternatives out there. Whether you’re looking for a more affordable, easier-to-use, or more sales-focused CRM, let me walk you through the 7 best HubSpot alternatives. I’ll compare them on review scores, pricing, and what makes them a better fit for different types of small businesses.

Vamos a profundizar. 👇

What is a HubSpot alternative?

A HubSpot alternative is typically an easy-to-use CRM designed specifically for small businesses.

These platforms aim to provide the core tools a company needs to support growth without the overwhelming complexity that can come with larger, enterprise-focused systems.

While HubSpot is an all-in-one platform combining marketing, sales, and service, many alternatives are specialized sales CRMs. These specialized CRM tools focus on doing one thing exceptionally well – helping sales teams sell more efficiently – often with superior automation and a simpler interface.

And if you, for instance, need landing pages or website forms as well, integrating those with your CRM is actually not that hard… especially not if you consider the difference in pricing.

Why look for a HubSpot alternative?

HubSpot is a powerhouse, but it’s not the best fit for every small business.

Here are a few common reasons why users start looking for an alternative:

1. It’s too big and complex for most SMB users. HubSpot’s all-in-one platform is packed with features for marketing, sales, service, and operations. For a small sales team, this can feel bloated and overwhelming. Navigating a sea of features you’ll never use makes it harder to focus on the core task: selling.
2. Other CRMs can be easier and more automated. Because HubSpot tries to do everything, its herramientas de venta can sometimes feel less intuitive than those of specialized CRMs. Many alternatives are built from the ground up to automate sales workflows, like automatically capturing contact data from emails and logging interactions, saving your team hours of manual data entry.
3. The free CRM has hidden limits and a very expensive upgrade path. HubSpot’s free CRM is excellent for basic contact management, but it’s also a gateway to its expensive paid plans. As soon as you need essential sales features, you’re pushed to upgrade to the Sales Hub, which comes with a high per-user price and often a mandatory, costly onboarding fee. This “freemium” model can feel like a bait-and-switch.

In short: if you want an easier and more affordable CRM, keep on reading.

Ranking HubSpot alternatives: our methodology

Hay unas tres preguntas a tener en cuenta a la hora de elegir un gran CRM para pequeñas empresas:

1. ¿Funciona para su caso de uso y su negocio?
2. ¿Coincide con el resto de sus herramientas de venta?
3. ¿Es un buen CRM?

To answer question 1, start from your exact use case and your type of business.

To answer question 2, consider whether the CRMs you are looking at are a great fit for your sales toolset.

Y por último, para la pregunta 3, puedes buscar CRMs que estén bien valorados por sus usuarios en todas las plataformas. Para ello, comprueba los CRM de esta lista y sus valoraciones globales.

Estas calificaciones de reseñas globales se obtienen combinando tres calificaciones en una:

• Valoración del producto, del sitio de revisión de software B2B #1 (G2)
• Valoración de la aplicación móvil, de la tienda de aplicaciones móviles #1 (Google Play)
• Valoración de plugins de correo electrónico, del mercado de plugins de correo electrónico #1 (Google Workspace Marketplace)

That way you know you get a small business CRM that performs on all fronts. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Want to dig into the details? Here we go! 👇

1. Salesflare [9.7/10] 🏆

If you’re a small or medium-sized B2B business and need something that your team will actually use, Salesflare may be right for you.

Salesflare is a dedicated CRM de ventas that was built from the ground up to help your sales team build better relationships and sell more, while requiring very little of that dreaded data input.

It’s made to pull all the data together from where it already is (your Microsoft 365 o Google Workspace email, calendar, phone, social media, company databases, email signatures, email & web tracking, …) and uses that to help you follow up your leads in a better way.

La otra cara de la moneda es que algunas empresas no están acostumbradas a compartir tanta información dentro del equipo, aunque esto ha ido cambiando drásticamente en los últimos años, y Salesflare ha introducido un nuevo sistema de permisos para las empresas que quieran limitar parte de esa transparencia recién creada.

Probándolo

If HubSpot’s complexity and manual logging are your main frustrations, Salesflare feels like a breath of fresh air.

It’s designed to do the one thing HubSpot’s free/starter plans don’t: automate the grunt work for your sales team.

Instead of manually logging every email or call, Salesflare’s B2B CRM does it for you by integrating with your email and calendar. It automatically creates and enriches contacts from email signatures and public data, which is a huge step up from HubSpot’s manual data entry requirements.

It’s a pure sales CRM without the marketing and service bloat, making it incredibly fast and intuitive for B2B sales teams who want to focus on selling.

If you don’t sell B2B (aka to other businesses) and don’t do active sales, one of the below HubSpot alternatives might then be a better fit for you. But, if you do actively sell B2B, give Salesflare a try.

It only takes a few minutes to start a Salesflare trial and follow up your leads in a better way.👈

I guarantee you won’t find any better HubSpot alternative! 👌

2. Salesforce [8,7/10]

Salesforce es la mayor empresa de CRM del mundo, controlando alrededor del 20% del mercado. Su indicador bursátil es incluso "CRM", por lo que definitivamente no podríamos compilar una lista de CRMs sin mencionarla.

While, in the first few years of its existence, Salesforce was focused on small businesses, it has since shifted its focus on enterprises.

This also immediately explains why its forte is extreme customizability (provided you pay a team of consultants to do that) and why it has positioned itself to be the one software vendor that offers a solution to all your business needs.

If extreme customizability is however your thing, or you’re working at a corporation, Salesforce may be the best choice for you.

Probándolo

When I dove into Salesforce, I was looking for the absolute peak of power and customizability, and it definitely delivered on that promise.

However, where HubSpot and Salesflare felt relatively easy for me to get started with, Salesforce was a different story. I found the initial setup to be incredibly complex and time-consuming.

It became clear very quickly that to truly tailor it to my specific sales process, I would need significant training or even the help of a consultant.

While I could see the immense potential, I felt it was far too much for a small team like mine trying to escape HubSpot’s initial complexity, not trade it for an even steeper learning curve.

3. EngageBay CRM y Bahía de Ventas [8.6/10]

EngageBay is the newest CRM in this list, founded in 2017 in Hyderabad, India. It’s an all-in-one CRM, spanning everything from CRM to marketing and sales, so you could call it a younger HubSpot alternative.

The company even uses the same way to structure its products, with a free CRM at the center and a series of “bays” around it (like the “hubs” of HubSpot”). The biggest pro of EngageBay is exactly that: you can get everything (and it’s a lot of functionality) in one place.

The flip side of the coin here is that the interface is not the prettiest nor the smoothest and that some things do feel a little buggy, but it’s a young and relatively cheap product that has built a lot of features, so this is definitely not abnormal or surprising.

Probándolo

When I tested EngageBay, it felt like I was using a blueprint of HubSpot, but with a much friendlier price tag. The all-in-one structure was immediately familiar to me, with its ‘bays’ for marketing and sales. I liked that I could get a similar integrated experience without the steep cost of HubSpot’s paid plans.

However, I did notice the trade-off. The interface didn’t feel as polished, and I encountered a few clunky moments that I didn’t experience with HubSpot or Salesflare.

For me, it was a clear choice for anyone who wants the exact HubSpot model on a tight budget, as long as they don’t mind a less refined user experience.

• Facilidad de uso: 9,2

• $79.99/user/month (facturado mensualmente)
• $73.59/user/month (facturación anual)
• $67.99/user/month (facturado semestralmente)

4. ActiveCampaign [8.5/10]

ActiveCampaign es una plataforma de automatización y marketing por correo electrónico fundada en 2003. Ahora se denomina plataforma de automatización de la experiencia del cliente (CXA), para cubrir su creciente gama de funcionalidades.

ActiveCampaign added a CRM to its offering in 2014, as a sales focused add-on to the rest of the platform. This integration between email automation and CRM is probably its main forte.

Setting up ActiveCampaign is not a light task and its software may become overwhelming, while the CRM aspect itself on the other hand will not be as feature rich compared to the other HubSpot alternatives in this list.

Probándolo

My experience with ActiveCampaign was interesting because it felt like the reverse of HubSpot. I started with its email automation tools and was blown away by their power and flexibility. They felt more advanced than what I was used to in HubSpot.

When I moved over to the CRM side, it was clear that it was a solid, functional tool, but definitely an add-on to the main marketing platform.

For me, this was the perfect alternative for someone who finds HubSpot’s marketing tools too basic and wants a best-in-class automation engine with a capable CRM attached, rather than the other way around.

Puntuación

Puntuación de la revisión G2 de ActiveCampaign:

• Facilidad de uso: 8,7
• Facilidad de instalación: 8.5
• Cumple los requisitos: 9.1
• Calidad de la asistencia: 9.1

• Aplicación móvil (Google Play): 4.3/5 → 8.6/10
• Plugin de correo electrónico (Google Workspace): 4.0/5 → 8.0/10
• PUNTUACIÓN FINAL DE LA REVISIÓN: 8.5/10

Precios

Price of the Pro plan (ActiveCampaign Pro plan with the “Enhanced CRM” add-in):

• $260/mes (facturado anualmente, con un máximo de 2500 contactos y 6 usuarios incluidos)
• $294/mes (facturado mensualmente, con un máximo de 2500 contactos y 6 usuarios incluidos)

5. Freshworks CRM [8,3/10]

Freshworks CRM is a sales CRM from Freshworks, the company behind / initially called Freshdesk.

El principal argumento de venta de Freshworks es su profundidad de funciones. Además, ha conseguido ofrecer este abanico de funcionalidades a través de una interfaz más fácil de usar que sus competidores/predecesores de la misma ciudad (Chennai, India), Zoho.

The flip side here is that this HubSpot alternative does feel quite bulky and that the functionality feels like it’s built too fast to be really well thought through.

If complex software frustrates you, it probably isn’t for you.

Probándolo

My first impression when testing Freshworks CRM was the sheer depth of sales-specific features it offered right out of the box.

Compared to HubSpot, where many advanced sales tools are locked behind the expensive Sales Hub, I found that Freshworks gave me a lot more functionality for my money. I could set up lead scoring and sales sequences without that feeling of hitting a paywall.

The flip side was that the interface felt a bit busy. At times, I had to hunt for features, making it feel a little bulkier than HubSpot’s cleaner design.

It struck me as a viable option for a sales team that wants power-user features without paying for an entire marketing suite and prioritizes features over ease of use.

Puntuación

Puntuación de revisión G2 de Freshworks CRM:

• Facilidad de uso: 9,1

Precios

Precio del plan Pro (Freshsales Pro):

• $47/usuario/mes (facturado mensualmente)

6. Zoho CRM Plus [7.7/10]

Zoho Corporation is a software development company, founded in 1996, which is behind an extremely wide range of software products.

It launched a small business CRM product in 2005, which has historically been positioning itself as a cheaper alternative to Salesforce (and now also a HubSpot alternative!). And that’s immediately its biggest strength.

El pináculo de su oferta es Zoho One, que te da acceso a más de 40 de sus "aplicaciones empresariales" por $105/usuario/mes (o $45 si lo obtienes para TODOS tus empleados). Eso sí que es barato.

The flip side is that Zoho’s products don’t feel user friendly.

Probándolo

My journey into Zoho CRM Plus felt like I’d unlocked a software treasure chest for an unbelievably low price.

The sheer number of apps I got access to, all integrated, was impressive and made HubSpot’s all-in-one offering seem expensive by comparison.

But as I started using the tools, I understood the trade-off. The user experience felt dated and less intuitive. I spent a lot more time in help docs figuring out how to set things up than I did with HubSpot (and definitely Salesflare).

I concluded that if my absolute top priority was getting the maximum number of features for the minimum price, Zoho was the winner, but I had to be prepared to invest the time to learn its quirks.

Puntuación

Zoho CRM’s G2 review scoring:

• Facilidad de uso: 8,1
• Facilidad de instalación: 7.6
• Cumple los requisitos: 8.2
• Calidad del apoyo: 7.4

• Facilidad de admin: 7.8

Valoraciones de Zoho CRM:

• Producto (G2): 7.8/10
• Aplicación móvil (Google Play): 4.2/5 → 8.4/10

Precios

Precio del plan Pro (Zoho CRM Plus):

• $57/usuario/mes (facturación anual)
• $69/usuario/mes (facturado mensualmente)

7. Pipedrive [6.6/10]

Pipedrive is a CRM de ventas dedicado. It was founded in 2011 in Estonia as a counterreaction to enterprise CRMs like Salesforce, which are built more for enterprise needs than they are for managing sales teams.

El poder de Pipedrive es su experiencia de usuario sencilla y bien considerada, especialmente cuando se trata de su funcionalidad más antigua. Facilita la introducción de datos y el seguimiento de las actividades, aunque sigue siendo muy manual.

Its main weakness is that it has become a bit stale, with a more limited mobile app, lacking basic automation (e.g. of data input), and a wonky email integration.

Probándolo

After spending time in HubSpot’s all-encompassing environment, Pipedrive was a refreshingly simple HubSpot alternative.

My immediate takeaway was its singular focus: the sales pipeline. The visual, drag-and-drop interface was incredibly intuitive, and I was up and running managing deals in minutes without any distractions from marketing menus or service tickets.

However, I also quickly noticed what was missing. The lack of deep automation and the clunky email integration felt like a step back from what even the basic HubSpot plans offer.

For me, Pipedrive was the perfect escape from HubSpot’s complexity, but only if my team was willing to sacrifice modern automation for pure simplicity.

Puntuación

Puntuación de la revisión G2 de Pipedrive:

• Facilidad de uso: 8,9
• Facilidad de instalación: 8.7
• Cumple los requisitos: 8.4
