FAQ
Common questions
Is Serret more expensive than HubSpot?
At face value, Serret Standard ($119) is slightly more than HubSpot Professional ($100). But HubSpot charges a mandatory $1,500 onboarding fee, requires separate Hub bundles for marketing/service, and locks key features behind Enterprise. When you compare total cost of ownership, Serret is significantly cheaper.
Can I migrate from HubSpot to Serret?
Yes. Serret's migration tools support importing contacts, deals, and activity history from HubSpot. Our Guided DIY path is free, or choose an Accelerator for hands-on assistance.
Does Serret have marketing tools like HubSpot?
Serret focuses on sales empowerment rather than inbound marketing. If you rely heavily on HubSpot's blog hosting, landing pages, or marketing automation, you may want to keep HubSpot Marketing Hub alongside Serret for sales.
What about HubSpot's free tier?
HubSpot's free tier is great for getting started, but most teams quickly hit limits and need to upgrade. At the Professional tier where real sales features unlock, HubSpot's total cost approaches or exceeds Serret's — without the AI, wellness, or all-in-one benefits.
