Key takeaways
Insightly scales for no extra cost
With Insightly CRM you get all advanced CRM features, including relationship linking, advanced workflow automation, custom apps, project management, and advanced reporting and dashboards out of the box at a transparent upfront cost. As your business grows, the system scales with it.
Insightly has no hidden fees for customization
HubSpot CRM free version offers you only a basic contact database with a few pre-configured sales reports. You have to upgrade to Sales Hub and Marketing Hub to get the additional functionality, driving up costs to $1,000s a month. Or, like many HubSpot customers, you'll need to invest in (and integrate) a separate CRM or sales force automation platform to meet your growing business needs.
Insightly offers advanced customer analytics out-of-box
Even when you pay for a premium reporting package with HubSpot CRM, you still only get basic reporting and dashboard capabilities with few customization options. You will need additional analytics and business intelligence (BI) tools to analyze customer data and gain actionable insights. So, what may look like a cost-saving option at first, HubSpot’s “free forever” CRM turns into an unexpected high cost of doing business in the end.
Insightly is the number one platform and priority for our executives to scale our processes nationwide and get the customer insights we need to make improvements in our business.
