HubSpot alternative for customer success

Customer success without upgrading HubSpot

HubSpot is a great all-in-one CRM for sales, marketing and service. Its customer success workspace and health scores need Service Hub Professional or Enterprise, paid per seat. XPI CRM is built only for customer success: health scores, renewals, ARR movement, playbooks and tickets per client. It's free for up to 100 clients and can sit next to HubSpot.

  • Every feature included
  • No credit card
  • Free up to 100 clients

Which one fits your team?

HubSpot is a strong choice if…

  • you already run sales and marketing in HubSpot and want customer success in the same database
  • you want NPS, CSAT and CES surveys, a help desk and a knowledge base from one vendor
  • you want Breeze AI agents working across support and customer health

XPI CRM is a better fit if…

  • you want a CRM built for customer success, not a sales CRM with a CS add-on
  • you want renewals, ARR, GRR and NRR movement out of the box, without building reports
  • you track up to 100 clients and don't want to pay for Professional seats to get health scores

Questions

Is XPI CRM really free?

Yes, for up to 100 clients and 1,000 contacts, with every feature included and no credit card. Above that, or when you want premium support, guided onboarding and help with migration, talk to us about the Enterprise plan.

Do I have to leave HubSpot?

No. Many teams keep HubSpot for sales and marketing and use XPI for customer success. XPI doesn't replace HubSpot's sales or marketing tools.

Does XPI sync with HubSpot automatically?

Not with a built-in sync today. You can import from HubSpot by CSV, and connect the two with XPI's API and webhooks or an automation tool.

Can't I just do customer success in HubSpot?

You can, with Service Hub Professional or Enterprise: it has a customer success workspace, health scores, playbooks and surveys. XPI gives you renewals, ARR movement and health per client without paid seats, for teams that want a dedicated CS tool.

Does it work with Claude and ChatGPT?

Yes, and it's included. Connect XPI as an AI connector and ask about renewals at risk, client overviews or your day. Connect an AI assistant

Where is my data stored?

In the EU (Ireland).
