Take a deep dive into the HubSpot Enterprise tools. Learn what tools each Hub has, what you can use them for, and how much they cost.

From a one-person operation to a 2,000+ employee enterprise, HubSpot offers the marketing, sales, customer service, operations, and content management features necessary to craft exceptional experiences for your customers.

With HubSpot, teams can collaborate seamlessly, leverage customer data and AI to make informed decisions, and streamline operations without the hassle of managing multiple tools or missing critical information.

With over 75,000 customers spanning more than 120 countries worldwide, HubSpot continues to grow, catering to businesses seeking to optimise their customer relations in the digital landscape. Whether you're a burgeoning startup or an established enterprise, HubSpot's Enterprise packages promote scalability through cross-departmental alignment, simplifying the complexities of modern customer engagement. By prioritising straightforwardness and providing robust customer support, HubSpot empowers businesses to navigate their growth journey effectively.
We go into detail about the various marketing and sales solutions the Growth Suite Enterprise contains in the below article.
Why Should Enterprises Use HubSpot?
Using multiple tools for different sales, marketing and service actions is expensive, and can create poor customer experiences that have the potential to damage a company’s reputation.
In an age where brand advocacy is crucial, a negative experience can have far-reaching implications, especially when you take online feedback platforms such as Google Reviews into account.
This is why it’s necessary to consolidate all of your promotional efforts into one, automation-powered and analytics-rich place. HubSpot is a platform that pulls together disparate data threads for a 360-degree, single-customer view that streamlines the buyer’s journey. Essentially, the platform and its suite of tools helps businesses attract, convert, close, and retain customers through proven inbound marketing strategies. These strategies drive engagement and gather customer data and analytics, which make interactions, tracking, and measuring campaign success easier and more accurate.
HubSpot has really transformed over the last decade to be a platform suitable for enterprise-sized organisations. No longer is there a growth ceiling where you have to migrate on to another tool to continue to scale.
To facilitate the above, HubSpot has a suite of products designed to address various business needs, which include the Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub, Content Hub and Operations Hub:
Marketing Hub
A full suite of marketing software and tools to grow traffic, convert leads, and track prospects as they move through the buyer’s journey. It helps growing businesses:
- Generate leads and automate marketing
- Channel targeted traffic to specific web pages

Is HubSpot Really Built for Enterprise?
The short answer: definitely. The longer answer: it hasn’t always been.
HubSpot began as an SMB-sized product that used the inbound methodology and marketing automation to bring customers to growing businesses with relevant material and communications. Over the last decade, HubSpot has developed into a platform that is now seen as an enterprise-level product, but at the fraction of the cost of general enterprise-scale software.
As an enterprise company, you will require added security, deeper functionality and more granular insights from a data stream that dwarfs that of smaller companies. HubSpot Enterprise has a deep range of features - over and above the products included in the Starter and Professional packages - that are geared towards companies that have larger databases. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Marketing Hub Enterprise
HubSpot’s Marketing Hub Enterprise combines enterprise-grade functionality with consumer-grade simplicity. The additional features are both powerful and intuitive, and ideal for growing businesses who find their current marketing suite is bursting at the seams.
- Multi-touch revenue attribution: This report links revenue to the marketing interactions that closed the deal, giving you granular insight into where you should be putting your budget.
- Portal partitioning: Segment your marketing collateral by team and team members. This division ensures that everyone has access to the right content, such as forms, workflows, lists and CTAs.
- Adaptive testing: AI-enhanced A/B testing that ditches manual setup, tracking and measurement. Backed by advanced machine learning, adaptive testing runs tests automatically and optimises the conversion rates of your website.
- Account-based marketing (ABM): Instead of casting the net industry-wide, ABM is a hyper-personalised strategy that channels marketing collateral towards a specific prospect or client in a concerted effort to drive revenue higher.
- Higher capacity: The Enterprise package increases automation limits from 500 to 1000 workflows and reports to 20 (up from 10).
- Custom events: When a person takes a specific action on your website or mobile app a custom event is triggered and sent to the team. Event completion reporting then helps you follow and record which specific events were triggered, by which actions, and where. To learn more about setting up and managing custom events in HubSpot, check out this blog.

HubSpot’s Pricing: What’s the Cost?
For the full experience and to maximise growth benefits, we recommend investing in Growth Suite Enterprise, which is built on top of HubSpot’s CRM. You find out more information about the cost of the HubSpot CRM to your business here. This all-in-one solution combines the aforementioned marketing, sales and services hubs into one practical, powerful and intuitive platform.
Growth Suite Enterprise enables your business to:
- Break down silos and align interdepartmental efforts in service of business-wide goals
- Craft a best-in-class customer service experience wherever they are in your buyer’s journey
- Scale your business as you unify and simplify your sales, customer service and marketing efforts
Cost: Beginning at $4,200 per month, the Growth Suite includes each Enterprise solution, with a discount that amounts to 25% off each respective product.
The package includes:
- HubSpot CRM
- Marketing Hub Enterprise
- Sales Hub Enterprise
- Service Hub Enterprise
Should you decide to invest in the separate Enterprise products, these are their respective prices:
- Marketing Hub Enterprise: From $3,200 per month or billed at $38,400 per year.
- Sales Hub Enterprise: Starts at $1,200 per month or billed at $14,400 annually.

To chat to an expert or for any onboarding support, we put together a useful guide on choosing the right Inbound agency to help you on your HubSpot journey here.
Are there any hidden costs?
While not hidden costs per se, there are a few pricing addendums to take note of:
While the Growth Suite package comes with 10,000 contacts included, there is an extra cost of $7.50 each month for every 1,000 additional contacts. For example, if you estimate your business needs 250,000 contacts, your monthly costs will rise to $6,000. However, you can stay on top of these costs by ensuring regular clean-ups of your contact database take place, so that you’re only paying for the contacts you need.
There are a wealth of add-ons to consider, too. These include:
- Reporting: Raise your Custom Dashboards limit to 200 and create up to 2,000 Custom Reports for an additional fee of $150.00 a month.
- Ads: The main ads integration tool is built-in with Marketing Hub, but for $75.00 a month, you can increase your ad spend limit by $50K, craft additional audiences, and receive hourly audience syncing.
- Brand domain: An extra $525.00 a month allows you to host content, create reports and set up permissions on extra brand domains (also known as root domains)
- API: Elevate your API call volume for integrations between HubSpot and your additional services to 1,000,000 calls a day for $375.00 a month
There are also three (required) onboarding fees to be aware of. These once-off costs get you HubSpot’s team of specialists, their strategic guidance and a custom onboarding plan to suit your company and its goals.
If the above is not viable, there are specialised options out there. The HubSpot partner community is extremely knowledgeable, with a number of tried-and-trusted experts who can make the onboarding process much simpler, and more cost-effective.
Conclusion
By investing in HubSpot’s Enterprise solutions, you’re getting an enterprise-grade tool kit at a mid-range price. The suite is ideal for businesses that have outgrown their current MarTech stack, as well as larger enterprises that want to consolidate their data and promotional efforts into one super-efficient place.
