This sentence gives me PTSD. We got the startup "90% discount" from Hubspot but what they don't tell you is that it's 5 users plan which you are locked in to. Then they lock you on to min 5 users for sales for the next two years where you are spending up to $500 per month which you cannot break out of.
To cancel it you have to notify them ON THE DAY of renewal because it's yearly contract.
We only had one sales person in our startup and all our customer data was locked in Hubspot + we were using their chat+ email.
I spent a weekend writing up scripts and moving to self hosted service (TileDesk!) and I had to cancel my credit card; there was no way out because you sign the "contract" when you take up their startup plan (https://mvpgrow.com/hubspot-for-startups/ https://mvpgrow.com/hubspot-for-startups/)
