HONEST COMPARISON

mDOS or HubSpot? An honest side-by-side.

Both give you a CRM, email, a website and a sales pipeline. The difference is how you pay for it, and how much marketing help comes with it.

The short version

HubSpot is a leading CRM with more than 299,000 customers, a large app marketplace and a suite of named AI agents. Its Professional plan starts at $1,300 a month with 6 seats, plus usage credits and paid add-ons. mDOS covers the same ground, from CRM and pipeline to email, website, meetings and quotes, and adds Google Business Profile, an artwork studio, digital PR (Beta), bookings and loyalty (Beta), at one fixed price per site with no per-user fees. Our AI team (Beta) does the work around the clock once you switch it on, and our marketing team is on live chat on every plan.

How our software compares

This compares our software’s features only. Our AI agents and our partner Marketing Experts come on top, and no single tool here includes them. Every mDOS line is live today unless it says Beta. Every HubSpot line comes from HubSpot’s own website; “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it there. Checked on 9 Oct 2026; sources are listed below.

Where mDOS is stronger

  • Fixed pricing: one price per site with every feature included, where HubSpot charges per seat, meters usage with credits and sells text marketing as an add-on.
  • Marketing tools HubSpot doesn’t list on its own site: Google Business Profile management, digital PR (Beta) and visitor intelligence, plus an artwork studio where HubSpot hands you over to Canva.
  • Selling and bookings built in: memberships, gift vouchers, events, online booking and loyalty (Beta), where HubSpot points to marketplace apps for loyalty and events.
  • A real marketing team on live chat on every plan, and on the Managed plan they run your marketing for you.
  • Vetted Marketing Experts on the Managed plan: a Certified Partner Agency (such as Founding Partner Mr Digital) runs your marketing for you, under a retainer contracted and invoiced by that partner.

Where HubSpot is stronger

  • A named suite of AI agents, from Content to Revenue, plus a builder for your own, running on its CRM data.
  • Business Units: one portal for up to 100 brands, each with its own campaigns and reporting.
  • Ad management across seven ad networks, including ChatGPT, Reddit and Microsoft.
  • Scale: more than 299,000 customers and a marketplace of 1,000+ integrations.

Moving from HubSpot at your own pace

You don’t have to move everything at once. Start with one team or one channel, keep HubSpot running while its contract runs out, and we bring your contacts, companies and deals across. We agree a switching plan with you.

How switching works

More than a CRM and marketing tool

Unlike HubSpot, mDOS isn’t only a CRM and marketing tool. You get The Platform, The AI Agents and The Marketing Experts, working as one, at one price per site.

mDOS Visitor Intent: a company visiting the website scored Hot 94, with its visits and pages viewed, under the intent filters

Not just a CRM and marketing tool: your website, bookings, customer records, marketing and team tools in one system.
