Effective March 5, 2024, HubSpot introduced a new seats-based pricing model across all Hubs and subscription tiers—Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Whether you’re a small business starting out or an enterprise scaling operations, this update is designed to deliver enhanced flexibility, transparency, and control over your costs. Let’s break down the key aspects of this new model.
At its core, this pricing model introduces different types of seats tailored to meet the diverse needs of HubSpot users. Let’s examine each seat type:
1. Core Seat: Grants access to purchased subscription features and tools. Connects teams through HubSpot’s AI-powered Smart CRM, providing a single source of truth for customer data.
2. Sales Hub Seat: Offers advanced tools for managing sales activities across Starter, Professional, and Enterprise tiers.
3. Service Hub Seat: Provides customer support teams with access to Service Hub features at Starter, Professional, and Enterprise levels.
4. View-Only Seat: Free and unlimited for paid portals, enabling visibility without editing capabilities.
Ideal for stakeholders who need insight into operations but don’t require hands-on access.
5. Partner Seat: A complimentary option for HubSpot Solutions Partners, granting full access to client accounts for seamless collaboration.
This pricing model isn’t just redefining cost structures, but it’s also empowering businesses to align their HubSpot investment with their unique needs. Here’s how:
The flexibility to purchase only the seats needed allows businesses to adapt to changes in team size or focus without overcommitting financially.
