HubSpot Sales Hub vs Salesforce Sales Cloud: the cost per seat, not the headline
At ten seats over three years, HubSpot Sales Hub costs $7.00 per seat per month and the other costs $25.00 — a difference of $6,480 across the term for a ten-seat team.
The published figures are $7.00 and $25.00, the same order as the three-year figures.

How that is worked out
Nothing else is added. Paid add-ons, extra contact capacity, sales tax and VAT are not in any figure on this site, because they depend on choices the pricing page does not price for you. Where a provider makes an onboarding fee mandatory and publishes the amount, it is added once. Every figure here is a floor. The full method is at Method.
Where does the answer change?
The ranking above holds only under the conditions listed here.
- Size does not change the ranking here. HubSpot Sales Hub is cheaper per seat at every size we compute, so the question is not how big you are.
- If you will not sign for a year, HubSpot Sales Hub punishes it harder: 2.86 times the annual rate against 1.00.
- Do not decide yet if $6,480 over three years is less than what moving your records would cost you, which neither provider publishes; paid add-ons and contact capacity are not in either figure and could change the order.
Who this is not for
This compares published prices and nothing else. It is not a judgment about features, integrations or support, and neither product has been used by us. If the two prices are close, this page will not decide it for you and should not.
