Where HubSpot wins — honestlyHubSpot has a richer feature surface (marketing + service + CMS in one stack), a huge integration ecosystem, and industry-leading inbound content. If you need all three modules, they're the right call. For a 10–50-person team that just needs the CRM layer to work, the math below is the reason we exist.

Common objections

The questions we hear every week.

01

We've already invested 18 months in HubSpot. Aren't we locked in?

You're locked into your data, not the tool. Our team has migrated 300+ accounts off HubSpot — contacts, companies, deals, custom properties, workflows, the lot. Typical migration: 2–3 weeks. We'll export a dry-run report of what would come over before you sign anything. If the data doesn't come clean, you don't pay.

02

HubSpot has more features. Aren't we giving something up?

On feature count, yes — HubSpot has more. But feature count and capability aren't the same thing. For SMBs, about 60% of HubSpot's surface is noise: marketing automation tiers, service tooling, CMS. If you use those, keep HubSpot for them and plug Prerak in as the CRM layer via API. If you don't, you're paying for them. We covered contacts, deals, pipelines, sequences, AI, and dashboards — the parts SMBs actually use every day.

03

HubSpot has 200,000 customers. Your team is 25 people. How can you compete?

Different model, not worse model. HubSpot's economics require self-serve — at 200,000 accounts, they can't assign a human to help you. So they built a partner channel and let consultants charge you $10K to fill the gap. We're 25 people who only do implementation. Every paid customer gets a real assigned team. Fewer customers, deeper service, bundled price.

04

What about HubSpot's marketing automation? We use Workflows daily.

Keep it. We're not trying to replace your marketing stack — just the CRM layer that's bleeding you money. Prerak integrates with HubSpot Marketing Hub via REST API and Zapier; contacts and deals sync both ways. Most customers keep HubSpot for marketing, move the CRM to us, and net out $15–20K/year ahead.
