Frequently Asked Questions
Is HubSpot Sales Hub free?▾
There is a free tier with very limited sales tools. The real product starts at Sales Hub Starter at $20 per seat per month. Sequences and most automation features require Professional, which is $100 per seat per month with a five-seat minimum.
Does LeadClaw work with HubSpot?▾
Not natively today. LeadClaw is standalone. If your contacts live in HubSpot already and that is core to your workflow, HubSpot Sales Hub keeps everything in one place. LeadClaw is a fit for businesses without a CRM commitment yet.
Can HubSpot find leads for me?▾
Not by default. HubSpot Sales Hub manages the contacts you already have. Lead sourcing requires the Breeze Intelligence add on or an external data tool. LeadClaw includes prospecting in every plan.
How does pricing actually compare?▾
For a one-person business, HubSpot Sales Hub Starter is $20/seat/mo and LeadClaw Pro is $89/mo. HubSpot looks cheaper until you add Professional features at $100/seat/mo with the five-seat minimum, which puts the floor at $500/mo. LeadClaw Ultra at $189/mo includes everything in one flat fee.
Which one should I pick if I already use HubSpot?▾
If HubSpot CRM is already your system of record, Sales Hub is the simpler choice for keeping everything in one place. You can still use LeadClaw alongside it for autonomous outbound and let hot replies flow back into HubSpot manually.
Does LeadClaw replace a CRM?▾
For very early-stage businesses, often yes. The agent tracks every conversation it runs and surfaces hot leads in the daily report. Once you grow past 50 active deals, most teams want a real CRM layered on top.
