Clockwork CRM vs HubSpot.
All-in-one CRM without the enterprise price tag. UK-built, UK-hosted, and no tiered upsells.
Why businesses are switching from HubSpot.
HubSpot is a powerful platform, but it's built for enterprise budgets. Their free tier is limited, and once you need marketing, sales, and service tools together, costs quickly escalate into hundreds of pounds per user per month.
HubSpot is a US-based company - your data is stored outside the UK, and support operates across global time zones. For UK businesses that want local support and data residency, that's a dealbreaker.
All features at a flat rate. No per-hub pricing, no contact tier limits.

Do the maths.
HubSpot sells its platform as separate Hubs. To cover the same ground as Clockwork's all-in-one, a 10-seat team on monthly billing typically needs three Hubs at Professional tier - plus the onboarding fees for each.
Per-contact escalation on Marketing Hub at every 5k contacts. Still no Gantt charts, no SMS, no white-label, no UK hosting - features Clockwork ships at base price.
