Daylite vs HubSpot

Daylite

• Small service businesses that work entirely on Apple devices
• Teams that want CRM, projects, email and calendar in one native app
• People who need to keep working offline and sync later

HubSpot

• Small teams that want to start on a free CRM and add paid tools later
• Companies that want marketing, sales and service working from one customer database
• Startups and nonprofits that qualify for HubSpot's discount programs

Daylite

• It runs only on Mac, iPhone and iPad; the vendor lists no web, Windows or Android version.
• Leap is limited to 1 user, 500 contacts, 10 active opportunities and 10 active projects.
• Growth stops at 20 users and 100 active opportunities; unlimited opportunities and projects need Scale at $45 per user / month.
• Email support response time depends on the plan, from 2 business days on Leap to the same day on Scale.

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; the list price shown beside it is $20 per seat a month.

Daylite

Linked contact history

People and companies each have an Activity View: one timeline of every linked email, meeting, task, note, opportunity and project for that relationship.

Opportunities Board

A Kanban-style board moves sales opportunities through customizable stages, with estimates built from saved products and services. Leap has 1 pipeline, Growth 3 and Scale 10.

Projects

Client work is tracked as projects with their own board, pipelines, linked tasks and appointments. Active projects are capped at 10 on Leap and 100 on Growth.

Mail in Daylite

Accounts from iCloud, Gmail, Office 365 or any IMAP service are read inside Daylite, where messages link automatically to contacts, opportunities and projects.

Shared calendar and tasks

Appointments, group meetings with agendas, resource scheduling and tasks are shared across the team, with video links from Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

Offline sync on Apple devices

Data syncs across Mac, iPhone and iPad, and the apps keep working without an internet connection, sending changes once the device is back online.

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.
