The difference

Why firms choose Clientia over HubSpot.

HubSpot optimises for leads and deals. Clientia optimises for the engagement after the signature — where professional service revenue actually lives.

One price, not one per seat

HubSpot's Professional tier starts around €800/month for 5 seats — and climbs steeply. Clientia charges per managed client, not per team member. Add a senior partner at no extra cost.

Contracts built in, not bolted on

HubSpot's e-signature is a lightweight add-on with no clause library, no obligation tracking, and no white-labeled signing experience. Clientia's contract module is the workspace.

Retainers, not just renewals

Recurring professional service billing — retainers, milestone billing, true-ups — requires a patchwork of Stripe, HubSpot, and spreadsheets. In Clientia, a retainer is a first-class object tied to the contract that created it.

Common questions

Switching from HubSpot.

What firms ask before moving from HubSpot to Clientia — answered honestly, in plain language.

Is Clientia really a HubSpot alternative for professional service firms?
Yes. HubSpot is a sales CRM optimised for moving prospects through a pipeline. Clientia is a professional services workspace optimised for the engagement after the signature — contracts, retainers, licenses, and the long client relationship. If your revenue comes from retainers and ongoing engagements rather than one-shot deals, Clientia is the better fit.
How much can we save by switching from HubSpot to Clientia?
A 7-person firm typically pays around €1,120/month for HubSpot Sales Hub Professional — and that's before DocuSign, Stripe, and a portal tool. Clientia Atelier is €119/month for the same firm, with contracts, billing, and a branded portal included. That's roughly €12,000 saved per year, with fewer tools to maintain.
Can we migrate our HubSpot data to Clientia?
Yes. Clientia imports contacts, companies, and deal records from HubSpot exports during onboarding. Contracts, retainer schedules, and license registers are set up alongside, so your team moves into Clientia with the relationship history intact.
Does Clientia have the marketing automation features HubSpot offers?
No, and intentionally not. Clientia is a client operations workspace, not a marketing platform. If you run outbound marketing campaigns, keep HubSpot or use a focused tool like Customer.io. Most boutique professional service firms find that the marketing features they actually use are email sequences for onboarding and renewals — which Clientia handles natively.
