Ascendly vs. HubSpot:
The Smarter Platform for Agencies & Service Businesses
HubSpot is an inbound marketing giant, offering a vast suite of tools for large corporations with deep pockets and dedicated marketing teams. It’s a powerful, enterprise-grade solution.
But for most agencies, consultants, and service-based businesses, HubSpot is overkill. It’s complex to manage, locks you into expensive contracts, and penalizes you for the very growth it promises to deliver.
Ascendly offers a different path. We provide all the powerful sales and marketing tools you actually need—without the enterprise complexity or the punishing price tag. Ascendly is the agile, all-in-one platform designed to help you scale, not just spend.
Why Ascendly is the Clear Winner for Your Business
1. A Pricing Model That Fuels Growth, Not Penalizes It
This is the most critical difference. HubSpot’s pricing model is designed to grow your bill as you grow your business. Ascendly is built to be your partner in profitability with a simple, predictable fee.
HubSpot: Your monthly bill is tied directly to your number of contacts. As you generate more leads, your costs skyrocket. Essential features are often locked behind expensive tiers and require costly mandatory onboarding.
Ascendly: One flat monthly fee for unlimited contacts, unlimited users, and unlimited client sub-accounts. Your bill never changes, no matter how successful you become. No success tax, no hidden fees.
2. A Truly Unified Platform, Not a Complicated "Hub" System
HubSpot’s power comes from multiple “Hubs” (Marketing, Sales, Service) that often feel like separate products. This creates complexity and requires specialists to manage. Ascendly integrates everything you need into one intuitive system.
HubSpot: Requires you to navigate and pay for different “Hubs” to get the functionality you need. This can lead to a disjointed user experience and a tech stack that is difficult to manage without a dedicated team.
Ascendly: A complete, ground-up platform. Your CRM, funnel builder, email & 2-way SMS marketing, calendars, and analytics are all seamlessly integrated. One login, one system, zero friction.
3. Built for Everyone, Not Just Corporate Teams
HubSpot is a generalist tool built for internal corporate marketing departments. Ascendly is a specialist platform built specifically for agencies and service businesses who need to get results for their clients and scale their own operations.
HubSpot: Lacks the agency-centric features needed to efficiently manage multiple clients and sell your own branded software solution.
Ascendly: A true agency growth engine. Use our “Snapshots” to instantly deploy entire marketing campaigns to new client accounts. And with our white-labeling, you can put your brand on our platform and create a new, high-value recurring revenue stream.

What our Ex-Hubspot Clients say about us?
"We were quoted over $2,000/month just to get started with HubSpot's Marketing Hub, and that was before we even grew our contact list. With Ascendly, we pay about a third of that for more features, unlimited contacts, and the ability to white-label the platform for our clients. The choice was a no-brainer."
