HubSpot vs Streak

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

Streak

• Teams that work in Gmail all day and want the CRM in the inbox
• Tracking non-sales processes such as hiring, fundraising or partnerships
• Individuals who only need free email tracking and mail merge

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.

Streak

• The free plan has no CRM pipelines; those start with Pro at $49 per user / month billed annually.
• Streak works only with Gmail, and the desktop extension supports Chrome, Safari and Edge but no other browsers.
• Automations, Zapier, direct integrations and advanced reports need Pro+.
• Everyone on a team must be on the same plan, and there is no cheaper view-only seat.

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.

Streak

Pipelines inside Gmail

Deals, candidates or leads are tracked in private or shared pipelines that sit in the Gmail inbox, with custom fields and saved filters. Paid plans put no limit on records.

Automatic email sharing

Emails are attached to each deal, contact and company and shared across the team, so everyone sees the full history without forwarding threads.

AI Co-Pilot

AI credits pay for deal summaries, questions answered from a deal's history, autofilled fields and meeting agendas. Plans include 20, 150 or 500 credits per user a month.

Email power tools

Email and link tracking, snippets, mail merge, Streak Share links and a thread splitter work in Gmail. Mail merge allows 50 sends a day on the free plan and up to 1,500 on paid plans.

Automations and integrations

Pro+ adds rules that create tasks, send notifications, update records or email customers, along with direct integrations, Zapier and API webhooks.

Mobile apps

Native iOS, iPad and Android apps give access to pipelines away from the desk, with add-ons for mobile Gmail. Account setup has to be finished in a desktop browser.
