HubSpot vs Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next: CRM marketing scope and usage units

By Feature Ledger · Reviewed 2026-11-12 · Based on vendor documentation

HubSpot Marketing Hub Starter and Professional under contact-tier pricing, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next Growth and Advanced. Salesforce Engagement+, Account Engagement+, and the Starter and Pro CRM suites are separate products.

The advice below is our reading of each vendor's plan terms. We have not tested usability, performance, or deliverability.

By use case

Track a marketing-contact allowance

HubSpot lists included marketing contacts and monthly sending multipliers. Total CRM storage is measured separately.

HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional · Contacts / subscribers: 2,000 marketing contacts included. You pay for marketing contacts, not every record stored in the CRM. Evidence record · HubSpot source
HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional · Email sends: 10× marketing-contact tier / calendar month. 20,000 sends at the included 2,000-contact tier, under contact-tier pricing. Evidence record · HubSpot source

Organization-wide journeys

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next includes multichannel journeys and a yearly allocation of email credits. Ask Salesforce how many credits your planned sending would use under your contract.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next Growth Edition · Automations: Multichannel journeys. Evidence record · Salesforce source
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next Growth Edition · Email sends: 180,000 email credits / year. Allocated per yearly contract and usable at any point in it. A credit does not always equal one email. Usage multipliers and contract length both affect how far the credits go. Evidence record · Salesforce source

Avoid converting annual credits into monthly emails

Salesforce allocates credits for the whole yearly contract, with usage rules. Dividing by twelve does not give you a monthly email limit. HubSpot's calendar-month multiplier works differently.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next Advanced Edition · Email sends: 360,000 email credits / year. Allocated per yearly contract and usable at any point in it. A credit does not always equal one email. Usage multipliers and contract length both affect how far the credits go. Evidence record · Salesforce source
HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional · Email sends: 10× marketing-contact tier / calendar month. 20,000 sends at the included 2,000-contact tier, under contact-tier pricing. Evidence record · HubSpot source

Price the whole edition

HubSpot Professional requires onboarding, and its price depends on seats and contacts. Salesforce prices its editions per organization, billed annually. Get a written quote for the edition you want that covers implementation, support, and extra usage.
