HubSpot
HubSpot offers a full stack of software for marketing, sales, and customer service, with a completely free CRM at its core. They’re powerful alone — but even better when used together.
In a universe not entirely unlike our own, two platforms, Campaign Monitor and HubSpot, found themselves competing for the attention of marketing teams everywhere. Both of them, in their infinite wisdom, offer email marketing solutions, automation tools and the ability to segment and personalize at will. They also provide an array of reporting and analytics that can make even the most distracted marketer stop and take notice, all available from the comfort of the cloud. It’s almost as though they’ve figured out how to make digital marketing just a bit easier, which, as it turns out, is quite useful.

Campaign Monitor, the Australian-born prodigy of the early 2000s, decided to focus almost exclusively on email marketing, offering a refined, easy-to-use platform for those who prefer things simple. It was built with design in mind, so its email templates are a work of art — or at least, not an eyesore. With a drag-and-drop email builder, it set out to cater to small-to-medium-sized businesses who didn’t want the complexity of a thousand other tools and needed something that just worked without too much fuss. It’s like the friendly, efficient service at a local café compared to the overwhelming options at a multi-cuisine restaurant.

HubSpot, on the other hand, emerged a couple of years later, in the United States, with grander ambitions. It was less about simply sending emails and more about becoming an entire marketing ecosystem — CRM, content management and even sales and customer service features all in one convenient platform. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for businesses of all sizes, with a slight preference for those who enjoy having every conceivable tool at their disposal. HubSpot, with its advanced analytics and lead-nurturing capabilities, has long been the go-to for companies wanting not just an email tool, but a digital marketing companion that can grow alongside them.
