Plans & Pricing
With the available free tools, you can send up to 2,000 emails per month, although there’ll be some HubSpot branding on the emails. This is a great fit if you’re a business owner just finding your ground with email marketing. Although the number of templates you can access in the free plan is limited, they are decent enough for you to get started. However, you’ll have to use the paid version if you want more features.
The paid version will allow you to enjoy more advanced features like automation and better business operations. In addition, you can get ad management, more landing pages, mobile optimization, automation, A/B testing campaigns, standard analytics, multiple language content creation, and other mouth-watering benefits that help your business stand out.
Also, you get to enjoy multiple-user access with the premium version and consistently increase the number of people you reach with your emails. Hubspot provides access to many features that make the pricing worth it. You can decide to have your payment billed monthly or yearly.
