vs HubSpot.

SMB platform vs an enterprise Hub catalogue.

HubSpot splits its features across separately billed Hubs (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS, Operations). To replicate what MarketingAtelier offers, you need to stack multiple licences at several hundred euros each. We include all nine modules in a single plan, from €29/month.

What changes
day to day.

All modules in a single plan

HubSpot requires you to purchase Marketing Hub Pro (€800/month), CMS Hub (€300/month), and Sales Hub for advanced CRM. MarketingAtelier includes all nine modules (emails, sites, CRM, forms, social, design, Maia, sending) from the Starter plan at €29/month.

Native Maia vs bolted-on AI

HubSpot adds AI as a layer on top (Breeze, currently in beta). MarketingAtelier is built around Maia from day one: cross-module creation, persistent brand memory, orchestrated strategies, and post-campaign reviews that feed back into that memory.

Up and running immediately

No consultant or mandatory onboarding required. Maia configures your brand identity by analysing your website, drafts your first assets, and the CRM is ready to use straight away. Launch your first campaign on day one.

— In practice

Before / after,
for your teams.

Growing startup (10 to 50 people)

With HubSpot

Marketing Hub Pro at €800/month for emails and automation. CMS Hub Starter at €23/month for pages. Sales Hub for advanced CRM. Plus €3,000 in mandatory onboarding. Annual budget: €12,000 to €15,000.

With MarketingAtelier

The Starter plan at €29/month covers emails, CRM, sites, forms, social, design system, and Maia. Annual budget: €348. The savings fund the rest of your marketing.

Launching a full campaign

With HubSpot

You set up the email in Marketing Hub, the landing page in CMS Hub, the form with workflow in Marketing Hub Pro, and the LinkedIn post in Marketing Hub Social. Then you bring in a consultant to wire everything together properly.

With MarketingAtelier

Describe your goal to Maia. She designs the landing page, form, email sequence, and LinkedIn post in the right module. You approve each step and launch within the same week.

Freelancer or marketing consultant

With HubSpot

HubSpot is built for teams. The features you actually need are gated behind Pro Hubs costing several hundred euros. A solo freelancer ends up paying for complexity they never use.

With MarketingAtelier

An interface designed for working efficiently on your own. Maia compensates for the lack of a team by drafting the first version of every deliverable. €29/month includes your entire marketing stack.

SMB getting organised

With HubSpot

HubSpot has everything, but the cost and learning curve slow adoption. Many SMBs end up using only 20% of the features they've paid for.

With MarketingAtelier

The core modules (email, CRM, sites, forms, social, design system) are ready to use immediately. Maia guides every creation. No features locked behind an upgrade.
