What you give up vs HubSpot

  • Designed for personal use only; lacks sales pipeline management, forecasting, and team collaboration
  • No built-in email marketing, lead scoring, or workflow automation
  • REST API coverage is limited compared to business-grade CRM platforms

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Monica on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (HubSpot: costs that balloon as contacts grow).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
