When you should keep HubSpot Sales Hub
- One shared contact timeline across marketing, sales and service if the company also uses other HubSpot hubs.
- Ease of use: reps adopt it with little training, which many cheaper or more powerful CRMs cannot claim.
- Built-in sequences, meeting scheduling and email tracking that would otherwise need two or three separate tools.
We'd rather you keep paying than switch to something that makes your work worse.
Common questions
- Can ChatGPT replace HubSpot Sales Hub?
- Partly.

Whether you can switch depends on which of these you actually use.
