Frequently Asked Questions
How much is HubSpot costing you that Operations Link covers?
HubSpot's Marketing Hub Professional is $800/mo billed annually ($890/mo monthly, 3 seats and 2,000 contacts included). Sales Hub Professional is $90/seat/mo billed annually ($100 monthly) — $450–500/mo for a 5-seat team — plus one-time onboarding fees of $1,500–$3,000 per hub. Add project tools, HR, payroll, and accounting, and a real stack passes $2,000/mo fast. Operations Link covers operations in one platform. (Pricing source: hubspot.com/pricing, verified August 2026.)
Can I migrate from HubSpot to Operations Link?
Yes. We provide comprehensive migration tools to transfer your contacts, companies, deals, and historical data from HubSpot to Operations Link.
Does Operations Link have marketing automation?
Operations Link focuses on operations and business management rather than marketing automation. For email marketing, we integrate with Mailchimp and SendGrid. If marketing automation is your primary need, you can use HubSpot + Operations Link together.
Will Luna (our AI sales agent) replace my HubSpot marketing team?
No. Luna qualifies leads and books appointments, but a human team still owns strategy and nurturing. Luna just automates the tedious qualification work so your team focuses on high-value decisions.
Why would we switch from HubSpot to Operations Link?
If you're using HubSpot for CRM + other tools for projects, HR, accounting, and operations, Operations Link replaces your entire tool stack. One database means no data silos, faster insights, and lower total cost.
What if we love HubSpot but need operations tools?
You can keep HubSpot for marketing and use Operations Link for CRM, projects, HR, and operations. Operations Link integrates with HubSpot to sync contacts and deals.
Quick Answer: Operations Link is designed for operations teams—companies that manage projects, people, and clients alongside sales. If you need HubSpot's marketing tools, Operations Link won't replace that. But if you're juggling HubSpot + project tools + HR software + accounting, Operations Link replaces your entire stack in one AI-native platform. Luna (a managed AI sales agent) handles the lead qualification HubSpot reserves for its $800+/mo Marketing Hub Professional tier.
