VendastaHubSpot pricing calculator
Pick a Marketing Hub tier, set your seats and contact count, and see the real year-one bill — onboarding fee, seat fees and contact tiers included. The gap between the advertised price and this number is usually the largest we track.
What the calculator counts that the pricing page does not
Three line items produce the gap. First, the mandatory onboarding fee: Marketing Hub Professional carries a $3,000 one-time Professional Onboarding charge, Enterprise a $7,000 one — committed before a single email goes out. Second, seat fees: Professional includes three core seats, and every additional seat is about $45 a month. Third, marketing contact tiers: Professional includes 2,000 marketing contacts, and the bill steps up as your database grows — whether or not you email those contacts. The full tier-by-tier breakdown lives in our HubSpot pricing teardown.
Three configurations, priced end to end
| Setup | Advertised | Monthly recurring | Year one all-in | Effective /mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter, 2 seats, 1k contacts | $30/mo | $40 | $480 | $40 |
| Professional, 5 seats, 10k contacts | $890/mo | $1,430 | $20,160 | $1,680 |
| Enterprise, 8 seats, 30k contacts | $3,600/mo | $4,025 | $55,300 | $4,608 |
Rates are HubSpot's published list prices as verified in our pricing teardown; annual-commit discounts and negotiated enterprise terms can lower them, and add-on hubs raise them. The point of the tool is the shape of the bill, not the last dollar: seats and contact tiers, not the headline, decide what you pay.
If the year-one number stings
Two honest exits. An agency buying HubSpot for client work gets the same operational job — CRM, funnels, email, SMS, booking — from GoHighLevel at $297 flat with no onboarding fee and unlimited users; that comparison is not close on price. A team that mostly needs email marketing should price MailerLite (Lab Score 9.2, from $10/mo) before committing to contact-tier billing. And if you stay with HubSpot, archive unsubscribed contacts quarterly — it is the single cheapest lever on this entire page.
