The EVOX Advantage

Six reasons focused teams leave HubSpot for EVOX

The capabilities that matter to teams who care about email performance, not how many channels they can add to a contract.

No platform branding. Ever.

EVOX never brands your emails. HubSpot requires a Professional upgrade to remove its logo from outgoing emails.

Own your sending infrastructure

EVOX connects to AWS SES, Gmail, or Outlook with your credentials. HubSpot uses shared infrastructure with no SMTP option.

Spam checked before every send

EVOX scores every campaign for spam triggers before it goes out. HubSpot offers no pre send spam analysis on any plan.

Works with any CRM or none

EVOX connects to LIO and works standalone. HubSpot's full email functionality requires HubSpot CRM.

ROI predicted before you commit

EVOX forecasts open rate, click rate, and revenue before launch. HubSpot only shows results after the send.

Pay for email. Not a suite

EVOX is priced for email teams only. HubSpot bundles landing pages, social tools, and ads into every email plan.

Real Results

Why marketing teams are dropping the suite

Content: From overpaying for suite features to owning sender reputation. Teams share why EVOX tops their alternatives to HubSpot Marketing Hub list.

We were on HubSpot Professional for two years, paying for landing pages and social tools we opened maybe twice a month. EVOX cut our email costs significantly and the AI features outperform Breeze on every metric.

HubSpot Starter put their logo on every email we sent to clients. That is not how a consultancy presents itself. EVOX was running on our own domain within an hour, zero branding.

HubSpot's infrastructure is a shared pool with zero visibility into send IPs. We had a deliverability issue and their support could not help. With EVOX on AWS SES we see exactly what is happening.

Before You Switch

What teams ask first

Five questions B2B teams raise before moving from HubSpot to EVOX.

Never. EVOX does not add platform branding at any plan level. HubSpot applies its branding on Free and Starter tier emails and requires a Professional upgrade to remove it. Every EVOX campaign represents your business from day one.

HubSpot charges for the suite. EVOX charges for results.

The focused email platform that outperforms HubSpot Breeze on every AI metric.
