Agencly vs HubSpot
HubSpot is a powerful marketing and sales platform: but the costs add up fast with per-seat pricing and feature gates. Agencly is the affordable alternative that gives you all the core CRM features without the bill or data-sharing concerns.

Why switch from HubSpot to Agencly
HubSpot's free tier is limited, and paid plans get expensive fast. Agencly gives you everything: no paywalls, no per-seat fees, no data sharing.
Affordable Flat Pricing
Agencly starts at $19/mo flat with no per-seat fees. HubSpot Starter runs $7 to $20 per seat, and the Professional Customer Platform starts at $1,300 per month including 6 seats, with extra seats from $45 each.
No Feature Gates
Every Agencly feature is available to every user. HubSpot gates core functionality by tier: reporting needs Professional (from $1,300/mo), the client portal sits in Enterprise (from $4,700/mo), and invoicing needs the Payments add-on.
Data Privacy
Agencly is fully cloud-based: nothing to run or maintain, and your customer data stays yours. HubSpot stores everything on their cloud and has access to your usage data for their own business purposes.
No Per-Seat Pricing
Agencly charges a flat monthly rate per plan: team size is included, no per-seat fees. HubSpot Professional is $1,300/month for 6 seats, then $45 per extra seat, so a 15-person team runs about $1,705/month before add-ons.
Built-in Client Portal
Agencly includes a client portal on every plan. HubSpot places portal functionality in its Enterprise tier, which starts at $4,700 per month before add-ons: out of reach for most small agencies.
All Features Included
Projects, invoices, time tracking, messaging, meetings, analytics, contracts, and client portal: all built into one platform with no upgrades, no add-ons, no hidden costs.
Frequently asked questions
Is Agencly a cheaper alternative to HubSpot?
Yes, and the difference is structural rather than promotional. HubSpot prices per seat, so your bill grows every time you add a teammate. Agencly is flat: $19, $49, or $99 per month with the whole team included. A five-person team pays the same as a one-person team.
Can I migrate my client and deal data from HubSpot to Agencly?
Client records, contacts, and open deal values can be brought across as part of onboarding. Historical activity, marketing automation sequences, and custom HubSpot objects are not carried over, because Agencly does not replicate HubSpot's marketing suite.
Is Agencly a free HubSpot alternative?
Not free, but there is a 14-day trial with no credit card required, and a free demo workspace you can open right now with no signup. After the trial, plans start at $19 per month for the whole team.
Does Agencly have a client portal like the HubSpot client base?
Yes. Clients get their own branded portal showing project progress, deliverables, invoices, contracts, and messages, and you control exactly what is shared. On HubSpot this is gated behind Enterprise pricing.
Should I stay on HubSpot if I am a marketing-led business?
If your team runs paid campaigns, lead scoring, and marketing automation as the core of the business, HubSpot's marketing stack is genuinely deeper and you should keep it. Agencly is built for agencies whose work is delivery, billing, and client communication.
How long does switching take?
Most agencies are running inside Agencly within a day. The workspace is preconfigured, and the setup that normally takes a week of tool configuration is already done.
