A HubSpot alternative for businesses that do the work.
HubSpot is a powerful sales and marketing platform for growing companies. Unavoidable CRM is built for businesses that answer calls, book visits, do jobs and send invoices, with all of it in one place for one price.
What it costs
Our prices in pounds. HubSpot charges per seat and by hub, with higher tiers unlocking more.
| Unavoidable CRM | HubSpot | |
|---|---|---|
| One person | £29 a month (Solo), every feature | Free tools, then Starter at about £18 a seat a month |
| Five people | £149 a month (Team), every feature | About £90 a month on Starter for 5 seats, with Professional tiers costing much more |
| Jobs, bookings and invoices | Included | Not a field service tool. Jobs and routes need another app |
| AI receptionist | Included on every plan. You pay the call minutes to Retell at their price, about 10p to 15p a minute | Not a phone receptionist on Starter |
HubSpot pricing changes often and depends on the hubs and seats you choose. The Starter figure is from UK HubSpot partner guides in 2026. Check hubspot.com for your exact price. Our texts and calls go on your own Twilio and Retell accounts with no markup.

Common questions
Is Unavoidable CRM a replacement for HubSpot?
For a small service business, yes. It covers leads, pipeline, inbox, bookings, jobs, quotes, invoices and payments, plus an AI receptionist. If you mainly need advanced marketing automation for a sales team, HubSpot may suit you better.
Is it cheaper than HubSpot?
Our Solo plan is £29 a month with every feature. HubSpot starts free and Starter is about £18 a seat a month, but jobs, bookings and phone answering need other tools, and higher HubSpot tiers cost much more.
Can I move my contacts from HubSpot?
Yes. Export your contacts from HubSpot as a spreadsheet and import it in Contacts. Every plan includes a free 15-minute setup call.
Where is my data stored?
Your CRM data and backups are stored in UK data centres, and each business is kept completely separate.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days with every feature, and no card needed.
