HubSpot Content Hub

HubSpot Content Hub is the publishing part of a marketing suite, and the reason to choose it is what sits underneath: pages and posts attached to a customer database rather than to a separate analytics script. For a business that already runs its sales this way, the website stops being a separate system.

It clears this directory's rule on being buyable — the entry tier has a real checkout, and only the two enterprise tiers are behind a sales conversation. A custom domain works on every plan and appointments are included throughout.

The cost is in the shape of the plans. The advertised entry price is introductory, available to new customers only, and renews at nearly three times what it says — the vendor states both figures. And the entry plan caps the site at thirty pages, above which the next tier costs more than twenty times as much. That is not a step-up, it is a cliff, and a business likely to pass thirty pages should price the plan it will end up on rather than the one it starts on.
