Phloz vs HubSpot
HubSpot is a CRM built for sales teams selling a product. Phloz is built for agencies selling a service.
What Phloz has that HubSpotdoesn't
- Per-active-client pricing (HubSpot charges per seat and per contact record)
- Tracking infrastructure map
- Role-based agency views (PPC / SEO / social)
- Free unlimited client portal access
When HubSpot is the right choice
If you're not running a digital marketing agency, HubSpot is likely a fine fit. HubSpotis a mature, capable product — it just isn't shaped for our specific use case. Phloz exists because we couldn't find a platform that treated agency ops and tracking infrastructure as first-class.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Phloz really cheaper than HubSpot for an agency?
- It depends on your team size and client count. Phloz charges per active client (not per seat or per contact), and viewer seats for client stakeholders are free. Most agencies that switch from HubSpot cut their monthly tooling cost by 30-60% — see /pricing for the math at your tier.
- Can Phloz replace HubSpot entirely, or is it a complement?
- For digital marketing agencies running CRM + work management + tracking infrastructure on HubSpot (or trying to), Phloz is a full replacement. For agencies using HubSpot for non-agency-shaped work (sales pipelines for product companies, generic team PM unrelated to client work), Phloz isn't trying to replace those use cases.
- How long does migrating from HubSpot take?
- Most teams move in 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, a CSV import (Phloz has a workspace-import flow), and a parallel-running week to verify nothing slipped. The main lift is mental — accepting the agency-shaped defaults instead of recreating your HubSpot setup verbatim.
- Does Phloz integrate with HubSpot?
- Not natively in V1. Most agencies switching off HubSpot export their data and import to Phloz once, then leave HubSpot behind. If you need bidirectional sync — for instance, HubSpot stays as the company-wide CRM and Phloz handles agency ops only — V2 will add API-based integration. Talk to us about your specific case at contact@phloz.com.
- Why doesn't HubSpot have a tracking infrastructure map?
- Tracking infrastructure as a typed graph (every GA4 property, GTM container, ad pixel, conversion action, audience per client, with health state and verification cadence) isn't a feature HubSpot positions for. Phloz built it because every agency we talked to was tracking this in a Google Sheet. It's the moat — no other tool ships it.
