Basically, it's great if you're a startup company looking access to enterprise solutions without the exorbitant prices. It will help you save loads $$$. You won't even need mailchimp etc..as it includes its own version which also has no contact based pricing.. 3000 dollars for hubspot is ridiculous.. its no wonder a lot of people are looking for alternatives. best advice is to find a CRM that helps you scale without charging you extra just because you need additional features and obviously one that you and your team will enjoy using! Feel free to try a demo on upilot.com
I think you will enjoy using the platform. The UI is also awesome. goodluck with finding the right platform. Always good to try out different ones.
