Video comparison
Quotes and e-signature, invoices, projects and time tracking, texting, the client portal and price, shown in the real Workspace369 app.
Hi, and welcome. Looking for a HubSpot alternative for your small business? In this video, we'll compare HubSpot and Workspace369 feature by feature: what's in both, how they differ, and what it costs to get the features a client business needs.
First, what each one is built for. HubSpot is built for marketing and sales teams: capturing leads, nurturing them, and closing deals. Workspace369 is built for the client work after the deal: the proposal, the project, the invoice, and the conversations around them.
Quotes and e-signatures. Both have them. The difference is the plan you need. HubSpot's pricing page puts quoting on Revenue Hub Professional, at ninety-five dollars a seat a month on an annual commitment, with twenty-five e-signatures per user each month. In Workspace369, proposals clients sign online are on every plan, with no account needed, and up to three follow-ups go out automatically once the client opens one.
Contracts go out for e-signature too, with a signing order, a code sent to each signer's email, and a sealed signed copy for everyone.
Invoices. Both have invoices and recurring billing. The difference is what feeds them. In Workspace369, one click turns an accepted proposal into an invoice, tracked hours bill straight onto it, and clients can turn on autopay for recurring invoices and retainers.
Projects. Both have them. The difference is the hours. HubSpot's plans don't list a time tracker. In Workspace369, projects carry a budget, a priority and a progress bar, with task boards your team works from, and your team tracks time against each client and project, then bills the unbilled hours onto an invoice.
Texting. On HubSpot, two-way texting is a seventy-five-dollar-a-month add-on, and it needs Sales or Service Hub Professional. In Workspace369, two-way texts and calls are part of the plan from Voyager, on your own local number.
Client portal. HubSpot's portal comes with Service Hub Professional, and it shows support tickets. Workspace369 gives every client a private portal for their invoices, proposals, contracts and appointments, on every plan. They sign in with a code sent to their email, with no password to remember.
Price. Workspace369 starts at twenty-nine dollars a month for one seat, with proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking and the client portal. Seventy-four dollars covers two seats, unlimited projects, and texts and calls. On HubSpot, quoting starts at ninety-five dollars a seat a month on an annual commitment, texting needs Professional plus a seventy-five-dollar add-on, and Sales Hub Professional has a required fifteen-hundred-dollar onboarding fee.
So if your business runs on client work, not a sales pipeline, Workspace369 keeps the proposal, the project, the hours and the payment in one place. Try it free for fourteen days, and our team will help you set it up.

Decision
Switching
Your workspace is ready in minutes — pick a plan later, no migration call required.
Bring clients, contacts, and open invoices in with CSV import instead of retyping anything.
Hook up Google Calendar, your inbox, and Stripe so schedules, conversations, and payments land in one place.
Run your next client project end-to-end — request to proposal to invoice — and cancel the old stack when it sticks.

FAQ
HubSpot is worth it when sales and marketing automation is the job. For a small agency that mostly needs client work to run, the bill climbs faster than the use.
