Questions to ask HubSpot CRM before you sign

  • Which plan includes SAML SSO, and what does it cost for our seat count?
  • Is SCIM provisioning included, or a paid add-on?
  • Which plan includes audit logs, and how long are they kept?
  • What will the price be at renewal, and is the increase capped?

Questions are listed where HubSpot CRM's public pages leave the answer open.
