Comparison
HubSpot vs Flodesk pricing
These products do not share a billing shape. Flodesk sells Lite, Pro and Everything on an active subscriber ladder with unlimited sends on paid plans. HubSpot Marketing Hub sells edition bases, Core Seats and marketing-contact packs from the Product and Services Catalog. This page keeps catalog USD beside Flodesk cells and does not invent a HubSpot eight-breakpoint matrix.
The bill shapes are not the same
- HubSpot Starter base
- $20
- Per Core Seat. 1,000 marketing contacts included.
- Flodesk Lite at 1k
- $25
- Verified FAQ anchor. Pro is $28. Everything is $54.
- HubSpot Professional base
- $890
- 3 Core Seats. Onboarding $3,000 one-time.
Flodesk prices active subscribers on Lite, Pro and Everything, with annual framed as one month free against monthly. HubSpot prices an edition base, then Core Seats, then marketing-contact packs on top. Comparing a HubSpot Starter seat sticker to a Flodesk Lite cell without saying which seats and which contact packs are in play mixes two meters.
HubSpot cells on this page prefer the Product and Services Catalog. The Marketing pricing UI can show suite or Customer Platform packaging, but its Marketing Hub list prices match the catalog, as do those on HubSpot's pricing calculator, read 26 September 2026. Only promotional prices, such as the new customer Starter seat, stay out.
Flodesk Lite across eight list sizes
Recorded ladder from the Flodesk pricing FAQ and slider. Lite is the Flodesk comparison plan. Pro and Everything sit in the notes. Empty 100,000 cells stay empty.
Prices are compiled from public vendor pages and can lag behind a change. Cells marked Der are calculated from published rules and cells marked Est are rough figures. Neither is an invoice or a quote, so confirm with the vendor before you spend.

HubSpot catalog edition bases
Verified catalog stickers for new customers after 5 March 2024. Not a contact ladder.
| Edition | Base | Core Seats | Extra seat | Included contacts | Onboarding | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $20 / seat | 1 | $20 | 1,000 | not required | Verified |
| Professional | $890 | 3 | $50 | 2,000 | $3,000 one-time | Verified |
| EnterpriseBilled annually | $3,600 | 5 | $75 | 10,000 | $7,000 one-time | Verified |
Enterprise is billed annually only at $3,600 a month equivalent, with 10,000 marketing contacts included and onboarding at $7,000. Starter and Professional marketing-contact packs live on HubSpot marketing contacts pricing.
Worked examples at four list sizes
HubSpot Starter assumes one Core Seat. Professional uses the edition base plus catalog contact packs. Onboarding fees are one-time and sit outside the monthly figures. Pack totals are derived from verified catalog rates.
| List size | HubSpot Starter | HubSpot Professional | Flodesk Lite | Flodesk Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 Starter included contacts cover this size. Professional base includes 2,000 contacts. Flodesk FAQ anchors at 1,000. | $20 Derived pack math | $890 Derived pack math, plus $3,000 onboarding | $25 Dataset cell | $28 Dataset cell |
| 5,000 Starter packs from catalog bands. Professional adds one 5,000 contact pack above its 2,000 included. Flodesk slider derived. | $210 Derived pack math | $1,140 Derived pack math, plus $3,000 onboarding | $52 Dataset cell | $59 Dataset cell |
| 10,000 Starter packs continue. Professional needs contact packs above 2,000. | $410 Derived pack math | $1,390 Derived pack math, plus $3,000 onboarding | $72 Dataset cell | $79 Dataset cell |
| 25,000 Lite hard ceiling. Starter and Professional pack math from catalog bands only. | $1,010 Derived pack math | $2,115 Derived pack math, plus $3,000 onboarding | $162 Dataset cell | $169 Dataset cell |
At 1,000 contacts HubSpot Starter is $20 for one seat against Flodesk Lite at $25. At 10,000 contacts Starter pack math reaches $410 while Lite is $72 and Pro is $79. Professional stays far above both Flodesk plans once the edition base is in the bill. At 25,000 Lite is still $162 and Everything is $257; the Flodesk 100,000 stop stays empty rather than invented (none).
Paying yearly on Flodesk and HubSpot
Per month at 10,000 contacts, paid month to month and paid for a year up front.
| Plan | Paid monthly | Paid yearly, per month | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flodesk Lite | $72Der | $66Der | Flodesk labels annual billing one month free, which would be about 8 percent off. |
| HubSpot Professional | $1,390Der | $1,250Der | Billed as 12,000 contacts. Monthly payment still carries a 12 month commitment. |
| HubSpot Enterprise | Not sold monthly | $3,600Ver | Billed as 10,000 contacts. Sold billed annually only. |
Sources: the Flodesk pricing page and HubSpot's pricing calculator.
Flodesk lets you switch between monthly and annual billing from account settings, and a downgrade waits for the end of the billing cycle. HubSpot Professional's monthly option is itself a 12 month commitment, so the choice there is how to pay for the year, not whether to commit to one.
Starter marketing-contact packs from the catalog
Verified pack rates. These bands feed the worked examples above. Midpoints between bands are not filled into an eight-stop matrix.
| Marketing contacts | Monthly add | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| up to 1,000 | included | Verified |
| 1,001 to 3,000 | $50 | Verified |
| 3,001 to 5,000 | $45 | Verified |
| 5,001+ | $40 | Verified |
Sends and what each one counts
Flodesk Lite, Pro and Everything include unlimited email sends on paid plans, so volume never moves the Flodesk bill. HubSpot marketing email send limits scale with the marketing-contact tier: Starter at 5 times, Professional at 10 times, and Enterprise at 20 times that tier. Those HubSpot multiples are catalog feature limits, not a separate dollar meter.
Flodesk. Flodesk bills new accounts on active subscribers, with soft bounced contacts counted toward the tier. Unsubscribed, hard bounced, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts do not. Paid Lite, Pro and Everything plans include unlimited email sends. The free plan does not send email. Lite is capped at 25,000 subscribers and then auto-moves to Pro. Annual billing is framed as one month free against monthly. Soft bounced contacts count toward the tier; unsubscribed, hard bounce, cleaned, archived and deleted contacts do not (verified).
HubSpot. For new customers after 5 March 2024, Marketing Hub Starter is priced per Core Seat, and Professional and Enterprise start at a base price that includes Core Seats. Marketing contacts sit on top of the edition: included contacts come with the base, and further contacts are sold in catalog bands. Non-marketing contacts are free up to an overall contact ceiling of 15 million (marketing plus non-marketing). Exceeding the marketing-contact tier bills immediately. Designating contacts as non-marketing takes effect at the start of the following month or contract renewal, whichever comes first, and contact-tier downgrades wait until renewal.
Free plan covers forms, landing pages and link-in-bio pages. It does not include email sending or workflow automations. HubSpot Marketing Hub has no free edition on the recorded catalog ladder.
