Overview

Campaign Monitor and HubSpot serve different scales and needs. Campaign Monitor is email-focused with premium design tools. HubSpot is an enterprise platform with CRM, marketing, sales, and service capabilities.

Different Scales

Campaign Monitor is an email marketing tool. HubSpot is a full business platform. The comparison is almost unfair—HubSpot does far more but costs far more. At 10k contacts, Campaign Monitor is ~$111/month vs HubSpot's $890/month.

Email Design Quality

Campaign Monitor has premium email design tools with polished templates. HubSpot's email builder is good but not its focus. For design-focused email marketing, Campaign Monitor wins.

CRM and Sales

HubSpot is a full CRM with sales pipelines, lead scoring, deal tracking, and service tools. Campaign Monitor has no CRM features. For B2B sales teams, HubSpot provides complete tooling.

Enterprise Features

HubSpot has advanced reporting, team permissions, custom objects, and enterprise integrations. Campaign Monitor is simpler but more limited. For enterprise needs, HubSpot is more capable.

For SaaS Companies

Neither is ideal for SaaS. HubSpot is B2B CRM-focused and expensive. Campaign Monitor is agency-focused. Sequenzy offers Stripe integration for subscription businesses at a fraction of HubSpot's price.

Making the Choice

Choose Campaign Monitor for affordable email with premium design. Choose HubSpot for enterprise CRM and full marketing platform. The cost difference makes this decision significant.
