One platform. Every tool your team needs, built in and working together.
HubSpot is powerful — but it's sold as separate Hubs, and capabilities like memberships, events, education, commerce and your website require additional plans or third-party tools. SmartDesk CX brings all of that together in one platform, on one customer record.
HubSpot is a great toolkit — if you can afford every Hub and every contact tier. SmartDesk CX gives growing teams the same breadth without the price escalators.
Memberships, events, education and commerce are native here — not extra Hubs or third-party add-ons.
Your bill doesn't climb as your database grows. With HubSpot, marketing contacts are tiered and add up fast.
Guided migration, free training and a support team invested in getting your team live quickly — no lengthy, expensive onboarding process.
