Day AI vs HubSpot (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Day AI if

• Fits if you want contacts and notes filled from email and calendar without typing
• Works for small teams where one person pays for the agent

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to start free, because a workspace needs a paid agent
• Tight if you want pipeline: it starts at Professional, $60 an agent
• Watch out: prices are billed annually and paid upfront, with no monthly prices on the page
• Watch out: Super is annual only and sold through sales

Pick HubSpot if

• Fits if there are one or two of you with under 1,000 contacts and you want to pay nothing
• Works for teams that want sales, marketing and support on the same customer record

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're past 1,000 contacts or 2 users and won't pay, because that's where free stops
• Pricey if you need sequences and custom workflows: Sales Hub Professional is $90 a seat plus $1,500 up front
• Not for you if you want one plain price: it's bundles, hubs, seat types and credits that don't roll over
• Watch out: the $7 Starter offer is for new customers against a $20 list price, and another page says from $15
• Tight if you sell on the road, as reviewers say the phone app does less than the website and there's no desktop app

Day AI

• A workspace cannot be created on the free plan; it needs at least one Professional or Executive agent.
• Prices reflect annual billing paid upfront; the page lists no monthly-billed prices, and its page description cites $75 a month for Professional.
• Super is annual only and sold through sales.
• The Free and Turbo plans have no pipeline management; that starts at Professional.

HubSpot

• The free tools stop at 2 users and 1,000 contacts, and free live chat and marketing emails carry HubSpot branding.
• Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise each require a one-time onboarding fee ($1,500 and $3,500) on top of the seat price.
• Paid tiers are split across a Starter bundle, Smart CRM and separate hubs, so the total depends on which products and how many seats you buy.
• The $7 Starter price is a limited-time offer for new customers against a $20 list price, and HubSpot's CRM product page shows a different new-customer price, from $15 per seat.

Day AI

Customer memory

A context graph built from permissioned ingestion of a team's email, calendar, meetings and Slack, so records fill in without manual logging.

Agents priced per agent

Each agent is a flat monthly rate for the work it can take on, with no per-seat fees and no usage-based charges, according to the pricing page.

Pipeline management

From Professional, agents manage pipeline and opportunities, build customer lists, generate reports and run on schedules.

Campaigns and prospecting

Executive builds campaigns from lists or customer memory. Super adds agentic web prospecting for net-new accounts that resemble existing customers.

Meeting capture

Meeting recording clips and notes, plus Gmail and Calendar ingestion, are available to every user including those on the free plan.

Volume discounts

Per-agent prices fall automatically with agent count: 10% off at 21 to 50 agents, 20% off at 51 to 100, and more beyond.

HubSpot

Free CRM tools

Contact management, deal pipelines, task and activity tracking, CRM import and reporting dashboards are free for up to 2 users and 1,000 contacts, with no expiry date.

Sales email and meeting tools

Email tracking, templates and a meeting scheduler work inside HubSpot or from the inbox, through a Chrome extension for Gmail and an Office 365 add-in for Outlook.

Workflows and sales automation

Workflows automate follow-ups and record updates. Sales Hub Professional allows up to 300 fully customizable workflows; lower tiers have fewer triggers and actions.

Breeze AI and HubSpot Credits

Breeze Assistant answers questions from CRM data, and agents run on HubSpot Credits. Paid tiers include 500, 3,000 or 5,000 credits a month, and unused credits do not roll over.

Calling and conversation tools

Calls can be placed and logged from the CRM, with a monthly allowance of calling minutes that grows by tier. Sales Hub Professional adds call transcription and playbooks.

Connected hubs and integrations

The CRM shares one customer database with HubSpot's marketing, service, content and data hubs, and HubSpot lists more than 2,000 integrations.
