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).
