HubSpot Migration

Migrate from HubSpot before the next price increase.

HubSpot is a comprehensive platform. But for many growing businesses, the cost escalates faster than the value. We help companies move to monday.com, keeping every contact, every deal, and every workflow intact, at a fraction of the ongoing cost.

The problem

Why growing businesses are making the switch

Based on publicly shared experiences from businesses evaluating alternatives to HubSpot.

The pricing cliff from Starter to Professional

HubSpot's Starter plans are affordable. But the features most growing teams need, workflow automation, custom reporting, sequences, are gated behind the Professional tier. Published pricing shows this jump can be significant, with mandatory onboarding fees on top. Many businesses describe this as feeling caught between a plan that's too limited and one that's too expensive.

Paying for an all-in-one platform you only partly use

HubSpot bundles marketing, sales, service, and CMS into one ecosystem. That's powerful if you use it all. But many teams only need CRM and sales tools, and end up paying for capabilities they never touch. Monday.com lets you buy exactly what you need, when you need it.

Contact-based pricing that grows with your database

HubSpot's marketing plans charge based on contact count. As your database grows, so does your bill, even if your feature usage stays the same. Monday.com doesn't charge per contact. Your data grows freely without triggering pricing tier increases.

Contracts and cancellation that feel inflexible

Many HubSpot plans require annual commitments, and users widely report that cancellation can be a complex process. Monday.com offers monthly billing options on all plans, with straightforward account management.

Our process

How we migrate you from HubSpot.

Free Assessment

30 minutes

We review your HubSpot setup, hubs, contacts, workflows, integrations, plan level. You leave with a clear picture of what migration involves, what you'll save, and a ballpark timeline.

02

Architecture & Mapping

3–5 days

We design your monday.com board structure, map every HubSpot property to its monday.com equivalent, and plan workflow rebuilds. We also identify which HubSpot integrations need reconnecting and how.

03

Data Cleaning & Prep

AI-powered deduplication, field standardisation, and validation. Your HubSpot data gets cleaned before it moves, so your new system starts with trustworthy records, not inherited mess.

04

Staged Migration

Test batch first, you review and validate. Then full migration. Contacts, deals, activities, files, notes, all transferred with field-level accuracy. No big-bang risk.

05

Role-specific training for your team. Recorded walkthroughs for future hires. Post-launch support to handle edge cases and ensure adoption sticks.

Honest take

When HubSpot is the right call

We won’t recommend a migration when staying put is the better choice. Here’s when it makes sense to keep what you have.

Inbound marketing is your primary strategy

HubSpot's marketing hub, landing pages, SEO tools, blog, lead nurturing, is deeply integrated. If your growth depends heavily on inbound content marketing, HubSpot's all-in-one approach is hard to replicate.

You use most of HubSpot's ecosystem

If your team actively uses Sales Hub, Marketing Hub, Service Hub, and CMS Hub together, the cross-hub integration is genuine. Switching makes more sense when you're only using one or two hubs.

You have a large, active HubSpot App Marketplace stack

HubSpot's marketplace has 2,000+ integrations. If you rely on niche marketing integrations that lack monday.com equivalents, the switching cost may outweigh the savings.

Enterprise-level compliance requirements

HubSpot's Enterprise tier offers specific compliance features (SSO, custom permissions, audit logs) that larger regulated organisations may depend on. Monday.com Enterprise offers similar capabilities but worth verifying for your specific needs.

Common questions

Honest answers on migrating from HubSpot.

How long does a HubSpot to monday.com migration take?+
Typically 2–4 weeks for most small and mid-sized businesses. Complex setups with extensive workflow automation, multiple hubs, and custom integrations may take longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline after the free assessment.
Can monday.com handle marketing as well as CRM?+
Monday.com CRM focuses on sales pipeline, contact management, and deal tracking. For marketing automation (email sequences, landing pages, lead nurturing), you can either use monday.com's native email tools and campaign features, or integrate with dedicated marketing tools via Make.com. Many businesses find this modular approach gives them more flexibility and lower cost than an all-in-one platform.
What about our HubSpot marketing contacts, do they all transfer?+
Yes. We migrate all contacts with their custom fields, lifecycle stages, deal associations, activity history, and notes. We also clean your database during migration, deduplicating records and standardising fields, so you start fresh with trustworthy data.
Will my team lose access to HubSpot during the switch?+
No. We run both systems in parallel during migration. Your team continues using HubSpot normally while we build and validate the new monday.com environment. We define a clear cutover date once everything is tested and your team is trained.
How much will we save compared to HubSpot?+
It depends on your current HubSpot plan and seat count. A typical team of 10 on HubSpot Sales Professional pays upwards of $12,000/year in licensing alone, before onboarding fees and add-ons. The same team on monday.com Pro typically costs under $3,000/year. We'll model the exact savings during your assessment.
What about HubSpot's free CRM, isn't that enough?+
HubSpot's free tier is a great starting point, but it comes with significant limitations: HubSpot branding on all communications, very limited automation, restricted reporting, and caps on emails and lists. Many teams outgrow it quickly and then face the steep jump to paid tiers. Monday.com's paid plans start lower and scale more predictably.
