ActiveDEMAND offers a more affordable pricing model as well as the choice between yearly or month to month contracts, making it easier to try out and see if you like it.

ActiveDEMAND offers full white label marketing automation.

Marketing Automation Features

As marketing automation platforms, ActiveDEMAND and HubSpot both provide a wide selection of features. Depending on the feature, some are built-in while others are integrated. For example, ActiveDEMAND uses a WordPress plugin to integrate with a WordPress blog while HubSpot has blogging built-in. Similarly, ActiveDEMAND has call tracking integrated, while HubSpot goes 3rd party. While there are some limits on features in HubSpot Pro, most are reasonable and unlikely to be surpassed. Conversely, most ActiveDEMAND features are unlimited in use for the Corporate Marketer package.

Are you looking for a Better Marketing Agency Solution?

Wonder why digital marketing agencies are dumping Hubspot and moving to the better alternative, ActiveDEMAND? The choice is obvious. Hubspot is not designed by marketing agencies nor is it designed for marketing agencies. ActiveDEMAND is the true solution for marketing agencies and businesses alike. Not only does ActiveDEMAND provide a clear advantage for marketing agencies, ActiveDEMAND is priced significantly lower than Hubspot.

Aldo Castro, Co-Founder and Strategic Consultant of BDM: “We evaluated Hubspot, Marketo, and Zoho. We chose ActiveDEMAND because of the focus on solving people’s pain points as well as their support, functionality and pairing with Pipedrive. Last but not least, was the affordable price point.”
