What you give up vs HubSpot
- Legacy codebase and dated UI compared to modern CRMs
- Setup and upgrades can be fiddly and resource-heavy
- Native integrations are limited versus Salesforce/HubSpot ecosystems
- AI and modern automation features lag behind commercial leaders
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host SuiteCRM 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).
