HubSpot Growth Stack — Tools that grow with your business.

@mattiheubner Hey Matti, you can check out more information on our pricing page (http://www.hubspot.com/pricing/m...).

@matthewbarby @mattiheubner So is the 'free' part the crm? Do you have access to any of the marketing tools?

@azazo Hey - we have free marketing tools as part of the stack too - get started with these here: http://www.hubspot.com/pricing/m... The free version has no usage limits - additional features are unlocked in the paid tiers.

@snappiet Can you clarify or send someone over who can? I can't figure this program out from the website. Just want to know what features a founder could use for free, for how long, and what limitations those features have (because free).

@kkdub @snappiet Hi Kelly, here's what you are able to do for free: 1. Use our CRM to manage up to 1 million contacts (Learn more here: http://www.hubspot.com/products/crm) 2. Use our free marketing tools to track contact forms on your website, create pop-up forms (unlimited), track visitor page activity and conversions (for up to 7 days), and connect to your CMS, email, and form tools (Learn more here: http://www.hubspot.com/products/...) 3. Use our free sales tools to track email opens (200/user/month), create email templates for your team (5 templates/user), track document opens (5/user), and 15 minutes of in-app calling per month (Learn more here: http://www.hubspot.com/products/...) These three tools are all integrated via the growth stack and work seamlessly together. Let me know if you have any questions about using them as an integrated suite!

@dharmesh I'm a big fan of the free CRM system. We use it extensively at getstream.io. It's really solid if you're doing in-bound sales. Almost all startups that I know use Hubspot CRM for their in-bound sales. What audience are you primarily aiming at with the marketing tools?

@tschellenbach We've got marketers in companies ranging from small to large. We didn't create this to only serve a certain segment - our free platform is more focused on serving a purpose: Conversion Rate Optimization. Its a beautiful, simple, yet powerful tool for lead capture on your site. It automatically discovers forms on your site and grabs those leads, while also giving you the ability to make intelligent pop ups to capture even more Leads. Once we have the leads, we enhance with all sorts of data & also show you all of their behavior on the site. It is amazing how much you can learn about leads this way. And once you activate the CRM, the leads flow seamlessly... #DropMic All this for free... The growth game just got interesting :)

wtf? XD i go to your "free" platform and the only free there is the crm hahaha, the only stuff on the marketing side is the "competitors" and we can do that on Facebook, analytics, and stuff yeah, i think you just wanna get some emails from product hunt, you don't change anything on your platform, you just make a landing page

@sanshiro Hey - you can find the Marketing Free at http://www.hubspot.com/products/... - there's much more to it than competitors.

@snappiet emmmm no, you only give forms and that's it, i can do that with google forms :S guys, you need a better marketing strategy

@sanshiro @snappiet Hi there, with HubSpot Marketing Free, you are able to create pop-up forms, track visitor activity and conversion activity on your website, and track activity from the existing forms on your website using our Collected Forms tool. These are the tools that can be used in conjunction with the free CRM and sales products to help you leverage your website for conversion and close deals. The difference between our analytics and Google Analytics is that Google Analytics is an anonymous, more macro view of the data whereas our software shows a micro view and tracks those who have filled out your forms, presenting you with per-contact page views and conversions. You are also able to see which marketing activities are working through a sources report on the dashboard which shows which sources are converting into leads. Our users see increased sitewide conversion rates using HubSpot Marketing Free within the first week of implementation. Let me know if you have any more questions about the marketing platform!

@sanshiro Here's how to look at it: When you activate Marketing Free, it automatically starts tracking all visitor behavior & marries that behavior when a visitor fills out a form. Not our form - ANY existing form. We consolidate all your leads from your own forms & then add all of their historical behavior. Moreover, we also enrich that lead with all sorts of data from multiple sources. Now you have all your leads consolidated, enriched, and you can see their behavior :) And that's before you ever turn on any of our own lead capture popups (which we call Lead Flows). Once you turn on Lead Flows, you can setup things like Top Banners ie HelloBars, Slide-in Boxes, and Overlays - all triggered intelligently by things like time, scroll, exit, etc. This goes way beyond a Google Form & helps you capture more leads. Once the data rich leads are flowing, you can easily activate the free CRM and start working them in a sale process. Every sales 'lead' now has all of its historical data attached - you know where they came from, what they were interested in, and things like how many times they've returned. We are easy to setup, consolidate your leads, enrich your leads, track all behavior, and then give you a sweet CRM to turn those leads into sales. All for free. You can't do the above even if you tried to cobble together Google Analytics, Google Forms, Agile CRM, and a few other tools... much less do it easily. Get excited!

@allancaeg Thanks for starting with us so early. Glad you're a happy user.

@shoeboxdnb I am in the same situation, 5 agents unused, a crappy CRM and forced to pay for 12 month contract, for a bad product. Is a SCAM
