HubSpot sequences alternative

Seleqt vs HubSpot

Don’t upgrade your CRM to start outbound.

HubSpot sequences need a Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise seat. Professional is $90 per seat a month billed annually, plus a $1,500 onboarding fee, and LinkedIn steps are manual tasks through Sales Navigator. Seleqt runs prospecting and LinkedIn plus email outreach for $79 a month and syncs leads and activity to HubSpot.

Sequences sit

behind the Pro seat.

HubSpot Sales Hub is a complete sales platform, and Professional adds a lot: sequences, forecasting, playbooks, a prospecting agent, and more. If outbound is the reason you’re looking at Pro, price that one job on its own.

UPGRADING HUBSPOT IS THE FIT WHENHubSpot

Your team needs Professional’s full toolkit, and outbound is one part of it.

Professional adds sequences with up to 500 sequence emails per user a day, a prospecting agent that uses HubSpot Credits, and Sales Navigator tasks in sequences.

No seat upgrade per rep.

Sequences in HubSpot need a Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise seat. Professional is $90 per seat a month billed annually, plus a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee. For two reps, that’s $3,660 in year one. Seleqt Starter covers two senders at $79 a month, with 1:1 onboarding included and no onboarding fee listed.

  • Two senders on one Starter plan
  • No onboarding fee listed
  • $948 in year one, billed monthly

LinkedIn steps that send.

HubSpot sequences include Sales Navigator InMail and connection-request tasks, but they’re manual. Completing the task opens Sales Navigator so a rep can send it by hand. In Seleqt, connection requests and messages run in the sequence next to the email steps, so LinkedIn touches go out on schedule without a task queue.

  • Connection requests sent in the sequence
  • LinkedIn and email steps together
  • No manual task queue to clear

Prospects not in HubSpot yet.

HubSpot sequences enroll contacts that already exist in your CRM with an email address. If the right buyers aren’t in HubSpot yet, they have to be added first. Seleqt searches 700M+ contacts, finds emails and phone numbers, checks each lead against your ICP, and syncs new leads and activity back to HubSpot.

  • 700M+ contacts to search
  • Email and phone finder included
  • New leads synced to HubSpot

Doing outbound in HubSpot?

Is Seleqt a good HubSpot alternative?

It depends on your workflow. Seleqt is the stronger HubSpot alternative when this sounds like you: Outbound is the gap, and the rest of HubSpot already works for you. Keep your HubSpot plan. Seleqt finds and qualifies prospects, runs LinkedIn and email, and syncs the activity back. See every feature on the product page or compare Seleqt pricing.

Do HubSpot sequences need Sales Hub Professional?

Yes. HubSpot’s knowledge base lists sequences on Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional and Enterprise, with seats required. Read HubSpot’s article ↗

Can HubSpot sequences send LinkedIn messages?

Sequences include Sales Navigator InMail and connection-request tasks. They’re manual: completing the task opens Sales Navigator so you can send it yourself.

Does Seleqt work with HubSpot?

Yes. Seleqt syncs leads and campaign activity to HubSpot, so replies and meetings show up where your team works. Confirm the fields you need during onboarding.

Where is HubSpot stronger?

As a full CRM and sales platform: deals, forecasting, reporting, calling, and a prospecting agent on Professional. If you need all of that, the upgrade is worth pricing.
