Uncovering Hidden Constraints
What we don't do
Hidden Cost: Hub Multiplier — stacked on the $15,000 - $120,000+ / year base license
What we do
Each Hub (Sales, Marketing, Service, CMS) costs separately, making full suite adoption extremely expensive.
What we don't do
Hidden Cost: Contact Tier Pricing — stacked on the $15,000 - $120,000+ / year base license
What we do
Marketing Hub pricing scales rapidly with contact list size.
Calculate Your 3-Year IP Savings
Drag the team-size slider to model SaaS licensing spend against a fixed-cost custom build — implementation, hosting, and 3-year TCO update in real time.
- • Base Implementation: $55,000
- • License Taxation: $270,000
- • Data Ownership: Rented
- • One-Time Build: $55,000
- Custom Hosting (3 Yrs): $10,800
- Maintenance & Support (3 Yrs): $24,750
- 100% Code & Data Ownership
Staying on per-seat licensing costs you $6,513 every month at 50 seats — spend that never converts into owned IP.
Legacy Pain Points
- Rapidly escalating pricing tiers based on contact list sizes
- Rigid CRM objects that are hard to consolidate and nest
- Expensive additions needed for multiple departments (Sales, Marketing, Ops)
The Custom Code Advantage
- No contact-tier fees—scale marketing databases without limits
- Complete control over custom data objects and nested structures
- Integrated client portals running on fast Vercel edge networks
