HubSpot Suite Starter Starter swaps itemized features for named Hubs, exposes 1,000-contact...
What happened
Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of HubSpot's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: HubSpot Starter's included-features list changed from itemized items (email marketing, meeting scheduling, live chat, etc.) to named Hub Starter products, revealing a new 1,000 marketing-contacts cap. In detail: HubSpot Starter's included-features list was reframed from itemized capabilities (email marketing, meeting scheduling, live chat, drag-and-drop editor, contact management, deal pipeline, ticketing) to the named Hub Starter products it bundles (Marketing, Sales, Service, Content, Data), now also disclosing the pre-existing 1,000 marketing-contacts cap. Prices and bundle entitlements unchanged. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Starter at $7, Professional at $1,300 and Enterprise at $4,700.
It lands 28 days after HubSpot's previous change, "Hubspot Suite Starter: Starter tier repackaged from Hub bundle to feature list" (Aug 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Hubspot Suite Starter Starter: additional seat pricing hidden ($45→hidden, $75→hidden)" (Aug 10, 2026), "Hubspot Suite Starter: promo price cut from $9 to $7/mo/seat" (Jul 3, 2026) and "Hubspot Suite Starter renames Commerce Hub to Revenue Hub, adds AI invoicing" (Jun 22, 2026). HubSpot has been tracked since 2025-01-01.
In the same window Zoho, Freshworks, Salesforce, Microsoft and Pipedrive also changed their CRM pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
