One reason HubSpot remains so popular is its free CRM, the entry point for many companies. It lets you store up to 1 million contacts and have unlimited users at no cost. But now, it's more than a database. It now automatically logs all interactions, organizes information in advanced dashboards, offers metrics like customer lifetime value, and generates revenue attribution reports. Pricing has also changed.

[music] Another major evolution is content hub, which replaces the old CMS hub. [music] This module goes beyond managing websites and blogs.

Marketing Hub also integrates with platforms like Shopify and a broad ecosystem of apps that extend [music] its capabilities. SalesHub has grown significantly as well.

[music] ServiceHub focuses on improving the customer experience and arise stronger than [music] ever. It enables you to manage support tickets, satisfaction surveys, knowledge bases, and live chat.

What's particularly interesting is that these intelligent agents are no longer limited to technical support. They now collaborate with marketing and sales to deliver a far more unified customer experience. In recent years, HubSpot has also launched two major additions. Data Hub is the center where all customer data is unified and cleaned, ensuring reliable information so AI can perform at its best. And CommerceHub is designed for companies that need to manage quotes, payments, and subscriptions integrated with the rest of the modules.

HubSpot refers to hybrid agents because they work handinhand with human teams to multiply productivity. Access to these capabilities is managed through HubSpot credits which are consumed each time advanced AI tools are used and can be topped up based on each company's needs.

Instead, there's a flexible system based on seats, contact volume, and AI credit consumption. HubSpot's modules, marketing hub, sales hub, service hub, content hub, data hub, and commerce hub, are available in starter, professional, and enterprise editions [music] with pricing that varies according to the combination you choose.
