The short verdict
HubSpot's free CRM is the best starting point for small businesses, and Breeze AI adds drafting, summarisation and prospecting agents as you grow.
Our HubSpot review
HubSpot's free CRM tracks contacts, deals, emails and meetings with no user limit — remarkable value. Breeze, its AI layer, drafts emails, summarises records and calls, builds landing pages and powers agents for prospecting and customer service on paid tiers.
Starter plans are affordable; Professional tiers get expensive quickly, so plan your growth path. HubSpot offers EU data hosting, which some UK firms prefer.
