HubSpot Service Starter Rebrands Health Score and Help Desk Features
What happened
Between the Apr 6, 2026 and Apr 13, 2026 captures of HubSpot's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Feature labels updated: Call transcription renamed to Call recording and transcription; call search/review sub-text removed; Health Score to Health Scores; Help desk automation to Support Automation. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Starter at $7, Professional at $90, Enterprise at $150 and HubSpot Credits at $9 per 1,000 credits.
It lands 8 days after HubSpot's previous change, "Starter promotional discount reduced from 'Save up to 55% off' to 'Save up to 40% off'" (Apr 5, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hubspot Service Starter drops free tier user limit from pricing page" (Apr 1, 2026), "Hubspot Service Starter adds Data sync hub, drops AI Starter Platform section" (Mar 10, 2026) and "Hubspot Service Starter adds free 28-day Customer Agent trial to Pro and Enterprise" (Feb 23, 2026). HubSpot has been tracked since 2025-01-01.
In the same window Zoho, ActiveCampaign, Microsoft, Pipedrive and Freshworks also changed their CRM pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
