The best HubSpot alternative

Autocloz is the strongest free alternative for outbound teams: a free-forever, AI-native CRM with email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp built into one login. Unlike most HubSpot alternatives, the core CRM stays free for 5 users and 100,000 contacts, and every paid plan lifts the seat count to unlimited — you only pay to raise per-channel daily limits.

For most teams, yes. Autocloz charges no per-seat fee, so adding users never raises the bill, and the CRM is free forever. Calling uses carrier pass-through (your own Telnyx, DIDLogic or FreJun rates, with no per-minute markup), so you scale on volume instead of seats or bundled minutes.

Import your contacts, companies and deals by CSV or API, connect your mailboxes (Google, Microsoft or SMTP) and carrier, and rebuild your sequences as multichannel. You keep every channel — email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp — on one lead timeline, and built-in warmup means you can move sending over without rebuilding your stack.

For outbound sales, yes — and it's a different job from HubSpot. HubSpot nurtures opted-in lists; Autocloz reaches new prospects across five channels with a cold-outreach compliance gate. Many teams keep HubSpot for marketing and add Autocloz for sales rather than replacing one with the other.

No. Every paid Autocloz plan includes unlimited users with no per-seat fee, and the CRM is free forever for 5 users — you can start without a card and invite the whole team. Paid plans simply raise per-channel daily limits, mailboxes, contacts and verifications, and you can change or cancel any time.

Most teams are sending the same day. Importing contacts and connecting a mailbox takes minutes; rebuilding your best sequences as multichannel is the bulk of the work. Built-in warmup and deliverability tooling mean you can ramp sending safely rather than cutting over cold.

For sales-led teams that want a free CRM plus built-in multichannel outreach, yes. Autocloz keeps the CRM free for 5 users, unlimited on any paid plan, and includes email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp without per-seat or per-hub pricing.

The CRM stays free forever with 5 users, 10 mailboxes and 100,000 contacts. You only move to a paid plan to raise per-channel daily limits, mailboxes, contacts and verifications.

Ecosystem and breadth. HubSpot has a far larger app marketplace, mature marketing automation, ticketing and reporting, and a deep partner network. If you need lifecycle marketing, service desk and sales in one governed system — and you have the budget and an admin to run it — that is a real advantage Autocloz does not claim to match.

Two places. HubSpot prices per seat and by contact tier, so cost grows with headcount and list size. Autocloz includes unlimited users on every paid plan and charges on per-channel sending volume instead, so adding a rep costs nothing. The second is AI: HubSpot meters AI credits, while Autocloz is bring-your-own-key, so you pay your model provider directly with no markup.

Yes, and for larger teams that is often the sensible shape. Keep HubSpot as the system of record and run outreach in Autocloz, syncing the outcomes you care about. Replacing HubSpot outright makes sense mainly for sales-led teams who are paying for a suite they only use the CRM and sequences of.

The things that are not the CRM. Marketing email workflows, landing pages, forms and ticketing all live in HubSpot's hubs, and Autocloz ships none of them — so anything downstream of a HubSpot form or a lifecycle workflow needs a home before you cancel. Contacts, companies, deals and pipeline move across cleanly as CSV with custom-field mapping. The safe sequence is to keep HubSpot live, run one Autocloz campaign against a slice of the same list, and compare reply rates before you touch the subscription.

Marketing-led organisations. If your demand comes from content, forms, lifecycle nurture and paid campaigns that are already wired into HubSpot's automation, you are using the part of HubSpot that Autocloz deliberately does not replace. The same is true if you rely on the app marketplace for a business-critical integration, or if procurement needs a vendor with a partner network behind it. Autocloz is a fit when the bottleneck is outbound reach and per-seat cost, not marketing orchestration.

This is the practical difference and it is easy to miss on a feature grid. In HubSpot the email thread lives in the CRM, but a WhatsApp reply, an SMS or a LinkedIn message usually lives in whatever tool sent it, so the record of a conversation is split across systems and nobody can see the whole sequence. Autocloz treats all five channels as steps in one sequence against one contact, so the call recording, the LinkedIn reply and the email thread appear on the same timeline. If your team already works multichannel and is stitching that together by hand, that is the saving — not the licence fee.
