Full platform migration - work through the series one guide at a time, starting with the piece causing the most pain
Kill HubSpot
Replace HubSpot with Claude, Twenty, n8n, Postmark, Formbricks, Mautic, and Outline
$1,000-3,500+/mo (full stack)
HubSpot bundles CRM, marketing automation, sales sequences, forms, knowledge base, and CMS into a single platform. Each piece has its own price tier, and they all add up fast. This series breaks HubSpot into seven killable pieces and replaces each one with open source tools you self-host on Railway.
Why Replace HubSpot?
- ×The free CRM went from 1 million contacts to 1,000 - a 99.9% reduction designed to force upgrades
- ×Marketing Hub Professional costs $890/month for 2,000 contacts with per-contact fees that scale as you grow
- ×Sales Hub Professional charges $90/seat/month - three reps is $270/month, five is $450/month
- ×Most teams use 10-15% of the features in any given Hub but pay for the entire suite
- ×Annual contracts with mandatory onboarding fees ($1,500-3,000) lock you in before you know what you need
- ×Every useful automation feature is gated behind Professional or Enterprise tiers
