Questions
How much does HubSpot for Startups take off?
HubSpot publishes two tiers. Tier 1 gives 90% off in year one, 50% off in year two and 25% off in year three. Tier 2 gives 30% off in year one and 15% off in year two. HubSpot decides your tier when it reviews your application, and the program requires an annual commitment.
Who qualifies for the 90% tier?
HubSpot's page says Tier 1 is for startups that raised Pre-seed, Seed or Series A funding, not Series B or later, and that are affiliated with an approved HubSpot for Startups partner or have raised verified venture funding. Tier 2 is for startups associated with one of HubSpot's approved entrepreneurial organizations.
What does Sales Hub Professional cost with the discount?
At list price, Sales Hub Professional is $90 per seat per month billed yearly, plus a required $1,500 one-time onboarding fee. For 3 seats at 90% off, year one software is 3 x $9 x 12 = $324. HubSpot's program page does not say onboarding is discounted, so budget $1,824 for year one if it is not.
Is the HubSpot free CRM enough for a startup?
For 1 or 2 people it often is. The free CRM covers up to 2 users, up to 1,000 contacts and 1,000 records across other standard objects, with no credit card. It has no sequences, no custom report builder and no custom objects. Sequences need Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise.
Do I need a promo code from Your Accelerator?
No. There is no code. You sign up through the Your Accelerator link, create a HubSpot account, and apply to HubSpot for Startups. HubSpot runs the program and any eligible startup can also apply on HubSpot's site directly.
What happens when the discount ends?
HubSpot's FAQ says that after the discount period, typically two years, you move to standard pricing. Tier 1 lists a third year at 25% off. For a 3-seat Sales Hub Professional team, standard pricing is 3 x $90 x 12 = $3,240 a year billed yearly.
