NoClutterCRM vs HubSpot
Everything HubSpot does, if you buy the right tier.
HubSpot is a mature platform with a generous free CRM and an enormous ecosystem. For a small team that sells on WhatsApp and the phone, the question is which edition unlocks those, and what it costs per seat.

In detail
Which edition unlocks what, and what it costs.
Every HubSpot entry links to the page it came from. Plans change, so check the source before you decide.
| Topic | NoClutterCRM | HubSpot |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | NoClutterCRM One price per workspace, with no per-seat charge. Paid plans renew monthly and can be cancelled at any time. Plans and allowances are on our pricing page. | HubSpot Per seat. Sales Hub Starter lists at $20 per seat per month, with a limited-time new-customer price from $7. Professional is $90 per seat billed annually, or $100 monthly on an annual commitment, plus a required $1,500 onboarding fee. Source 1: HubSpot, how you pay Source 2: HubSpot, how you pay |
| NoClutterCRM The official WhatsApp Business API, on your own WhatsApp Business account. Meta bills its message fees to you directly; we add nothing to them. | HubSpot Not in Sales Hub or any Starter plan. WhatsApp needs Marketing Hub or Service Hub Professional or above, with 1,000 template messages a month shared across connected accounts. Source: HubSpot, whatsapp | |
| AI replies to leads | NoClutterCRM An AI agent replies on WhatsApp and website chat from the sources you approve, checks prices against them and hands over to a person. Replies count against the plan’s automated-reply allowance; at the limit, AI pauses and tells you. | HubSpot The Customer Agent needs a Professional or Enterprise plan and runs on HubSpot Credits, at $0.50 per resolved conversation. When credits run out, it stops taking new conversations. Source 1: HubSpot, ai replies to leads Source 2: HubSpot, ai replies to leads |
| Phone calls | NoClutterCRM Ordinary phone calling is not available right now. WhatsApp calls can be answered and placed from the conversation, and call recordings you upload are transcribed, summarised and reviewed against your written sales process. | HubSpot Starter includes 500 calling minutes a month per account. Call transcription, AI call summaries and coaching need Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional seats. Source 1: HubSpot, phone calls Source 2: HubSpot, phone calls |
| NoClutterCRM Connected mailboxes for one-to-one email, plus built-in email campaigns with unsubscribe and suppression handling, counted in recipient-emails. | HubSpot Connected one-to-one email on every plan. Marketing Hub Starter sends up to five times your marketing-contact tier each month; sales sequences are Professional and above. Source 1: HubSpot, email Source 2: HubSpot, email |

Where HubSpot is the better choice
A platform built to grow with you for years.
A genuinely free CRM
HubSpot’s free plan covers up to two users with no card. If you only need contacts, deals and email logging, it is hard to argue with free.

HubSpot lists more than 2,000 apps in its marketplace, plus a partner network that can set it up for you. Our integration list is short.

The parts a small sales team uses, without the tier ladder.
HubSpot is a platform you grow into. We are a narrower CRM where WhatsApp, the AI agent and call coaching come with the workspace rather than with a Professional edition.

FAQ
Before you decide
Why not use HubSpot’s free CRM?
If contacts, deals and email logging are all you need, you should. The free plan does not include WhatsApp, the AI Customer Agent or call transcription, which is where we start.
Source 1: HubSpot, Why not use HubSpot’s free CRM? Source 2: HubSpot, Why not use HubSpot’s free CRM? Source 3: HubSpot, Why not use HubSpot’s free CRM?Is there an onboarding fee?
Our plans carry no onboarding fee. HubSpot lists a required one-time onboarding fee for Sales Hub Professional and above.
Source: HubSpot, Is there an onboarding fee?Does NoClutterCRM do marketing automation like HubSpot?
Partly. Email and WhatsApp campaigns are built in and automations are in preview, but there is no multi-step nurture builder, landing-page builder or help desk. HubSpot covers those.
