What are customers saying?

HubSpot Sales Hub received G2's top 100 Best Software Products & Highest Satisfaction Products 2023

Sales Hub was ranked on G2’s Most Implementable software in Spring 2023.

We were growing fast—the client base was doubling every year. But Pipedrive was really clunky. There wasn’t any functionality for forecasting, which was a bit frustrating. The UI was also really dated. It looked more like accountancy software… With HubSpot, it was like a fog had lifted. It felt so futuristic. It was great.
