Hidden Costs Breakdown

Basic Features Locked Behind Paywalls

high addon

Essential features like calendar functionality are not included in base plans and require purchasing additional hubs or higher-tier plans. Users report frustration with features being artificially segmented across Sales, Marketing, and Service hubs.

You will pay hundreds of euro's a month to find out basic features aren't included like CALENDER. The way they decides what's sales, what's support or Marketing is purposefully confusing to upsell you.

The free CRM locks users out of their own records older than 30 days, forcing upgrades to access historical client data. This limitation is not prominently disclosed during signup.

While they advertise that there is a basic free CRM offering, I only found later that they LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR OWN RECORDS OVER 30 DAYS I had a bunch of client...

In our meeting with a sales rep we were over sold a package with false information. They suggested an outside vendor to help "onboard". This person pushed an integrated website.
