Aeion CRM vs HubSpot
HubSpot's per-seat × per-hub pricing scales painfully — Sales Hub Pro at $1,800/user/year, Marketing Hub Pro at $1,800/month, Service Hub Pro at $1,200/user/year. A 20-person team across 3 hubs lands at $40-100K+/year. Aeion CRM ships the same surface — deals + pipelines + email sequences + AI lead scoring + analytics — as a flat-tier module of the operating system, native to commerce + helpdesk + connect.

Where HubSpot Wins
Be honest about HubSpot's strengths:
The "Native to the Stack" Argument
HubSpot is good at being HubSpot. But your CRM data needs to live alongside:
Migration FAQ
Yes. Aeion's `/platform/singularity` ships a HubSpot connector. Contacts + companies + deals + activities + pipelines + email sequences import; custom properties map to Aeion's collection fields. Plan ~2-4 sprints for full migration with cutover.
Migrate to Aeion's Blueprint workflow builder. Most HubSpot workflows have 1:1 Blueprint equivalents; complex multi-step nurture sequences are slightly different shape but functional.
Aeion's `/modules/forms` handles forms cleanly. Landing pages: use Aeion's content module + page builder; less polished than HubSpot's drag-and-drop CMS, but sufficient for most marketing teams.
Aeion doesn't run a permanent free tier — a 14-day free trial, then $49/mo flat, with no contact cap, no workflow cap, and no integration limit from day one. HubSpot Free is genuinely good as a sales-only basic CRM; Aeion's low flat price is competitive on top of the broader OS surface.
Aeion has REST + GraphQL + MCP-tool surfaces. HubSpot's API is more polished for third-party developers (better docs, more SDKs). For teams building custom apps on top, HubSpot has the edge today; Aeion's adapter-friendly architecture closes the gap over time.
Aeion architecture supports both; your deployment certifies. HubSpot Enterprise and Aeion CRM both ship the compliance posture; the difference is who owns the deployment.
