HubSpot versus Agaro ERP
HubSpot is a polished CRM and marketing platform, and its free tier is a great start. The cost climbs quickly once a team needs Professional features, and every deal still ends at the edge of the CRM, where invoicing, stock, and payroll take over in other tools.
Agaro ERP keeps the lead, the campaign, the order, the invoice, and the people who did the work on one record. Essentials is $29 per full user per month with every module and role-based access with 5 fixed roles. Scale is $49 and adds full role-based and attribute-based access control (custom access groups, record rules, and field-level security), AI agents, API and MCP access, and multi-company. Employee accounts for clocking in, time off, and payslips are free, and payroll includes the first 10 employees each month, then $4 per employee.
