01Where HubSpot is strong
HubSpot is excellent at inbound marketing and has a polished interface. If your business is content-and-funnel led and you don’t sell regulated, high-value physical assets, it’s a reasonable fit.
02Where it gets expensive
The headline Sales Hub seat is only part of the story. Calling, marketing campaigns, payments and automation depth sit in separate Hubs and higher tiers. HubSpot also bills marketing by contacts — reaching 5,000 marketing contacts adds cost on top of seats. To reach Selllution’s included feature set, the real per-seat cost climbs well past the £85 headline.
03What HubSpot can’t do for this desk
There are no native asset-class records, no AML/KYC, no QR certificates of provenance, no built-in training LMS or marketplace, and no insured-logistics tracking. For a bullion, whisky, wine, art or property desk, those aren’t nice-to-haves — they’re the job.
