"HubSpot is great until you hit their pricing walls. Everything you want—reporting, automation, custom fields—suddenly costs more." — Verified Capterra Reviewer

As a coworking operator, your needs are unique: you're juggling lead capture, member communications, bookings, reviews, marketing, and retention—often with a lean team. Choosing the right platform to help you manage and grow your space shouldn’t require a full-time systems admin or a corporate-sized budget.

That’s why so many operators come to CoLevel after hitting a wall with HubSpot.

Here’s what real users are saying about HubSpot, and how CoLevel approaches these frustrations differently—without compromise.

1. "Every time I want to try something new in HubSpot, I have to upgrade..."

"It’s like being nickel-and-dimed constantly." — Reddit User, r/marketingautomation

CoLevel's Difference: You get access to every feature from Day 1—no hidden tiers or forced upgrades. Want to launch a review automation, create an AI assistant to book tours, or spin up a nurture campaign? Go for it.

Yes, we charge for premium features like call recording, texting, AI, etc.—but you only pay for what you use. No arbitrary limits. No sudden tier jumps. No surprises.

2. "The more we grow, the more we pay..."

"HubSpot’s pricing climbs rapidly as you scale. You start with free, then get locked into $800+ plans just to unlock core automation or reporting." — Verified Capterra Reviewer

CoLevel's Difference: Growth shouldn't feel like punishment.

With CoLevel, there are no contact limits, no user caps, and no upgrade pressure. Whether you're managing 200 or 20,000 leads, your base plan stays the same. You only pay more if you're using more (texts, AI, call volume), which keeps your pricing aligned with actual value, not artificial tiers.

3. "You still need other tools... it's not truly all-in-one."

"We still had to integrate with Calendly, Mailchimp, ClickFunnels—and pay extra for each." — G2 Reviewer

CoLevel's Difference: True all-in-one.

CoLevel replaces your booking tools, email and SMS platform, web chat, CRM, funnels, review requests, AI bots, and even your drip campaigns—all inside one login. And again, you get access to it all.

Need a dedicated desk interest form that texts prospects AND updates your CRM AND notifies your team? One platform. No glue.

4. "Customization only comes with top-tier plans..."

"You can’t really customize much until you’re on Enterprise." — Capterra User, Small Agency Owner

CoLevel's Difference: You’re in control from the beginning.

From custom fields to workflow branching, tailored automations, and branded communication—CoLevel gives coworking operators the flexibility and customization they need without demanding $3K/month. You don’t need to "earn your way" to control your own system.

5. "The pricing structure doesn’t make sense for small teams..."

"HubSpot pricing felt the same whether we had 10 or 1,000 contacts. As a micro company, we couldn’t justify it." — Sean C., VP Marketing

CoLevel's Difference: Fair, transparent pricing for operators at every stage.

We designed CoLevel to support coworking teams of 1 or 100. Small operators shouldn’t subsidize heavy users. With CoLevel, you pay a flat rate to unlock the platform and then choose to spend more only if you need more. It's not a fixed menu; it's a scalable toolkit.
