What is HubSpot Free and what does it include?

HubSpot Free includes a basic CRM with unlimited contacts, deal pipeline, contact and company records, email integration, and live chat. It's genuinely useful and not just a trial — many small businesses run on HubSpot Free for years. Limitations include lack of automation sequences, limited reporting, and HubSpot branding on emails. For teams just starting to organize their sales process, it's an excellent starting point.
