HubSpot alternative for outbound SDR teams

If your reps live in sequences, the dialer, and inbox — not marketing forms — FlowForce is a CRM built for outbound first.

Choose FlowForce for outbound SDR and AE workflows with native dialer and cadences. Choose HubSpot when marketing, service, and sales must share one heavily customized HubSpot portal.

HubSpot integration & migration

Should you switch?

An honest split — when FlowForce is the better fit and when staying put makes sense.

Choose FlowForce if…

  • Parallel dialer and cadences included on Pro — no separate sequencer
  • Gmail and Outlook sync with send-from-mailbox on the lead record
  • Ask Flow for pipeline summaries and confirmed write actions
  • HubSpot migration and optional two-way sync during transition
  • Transparent usage wallet instead of opaque add-on bundles

Keep HubSpot if…

  • Marketing owns HubSpot Marketing Hub and needs tight native lead scoring with ads and content.
  • You are heavily invested in HubSpot workflows across service, marketing, and sales with hundreds of custom objects.
  • Enterprise compliance requires staying on your current HubSpot contract through renewal.

Why teams leave HubSpot

  • 1HubSpot Sales Hub plus dialer and sequence tools gets expensive per seat.
  • 2SDRs need parallel dial and smart-stop cadences native to the CRM timeline.
  • 3You want AI that drafts from lead activity, not a generic chat tab.
  • 4Ops is tired of syncing outreach tools back into HubSpot deals.

Switching from HubSpot

Most teams connect email and launch a first cadence in under a day.

  1. 1

    Export or connect HubSpot — contacts, companies, deals, and owners via integration wizard or CSV

  2. 2

    Map custom properties, pipeline stages, and lead sources in FlowForce

  3. 3

    Recreate or import SDR workflows — cadences, dialer queues, and inbox sync first

  4. 4

    Sync email mailboxes (Gmail or Outlook OAuth) so new activity logs on the timeline

  5. 5

    Run a parallel period if needed — keep Marketing Hub for inbound while SDRs work in FlowForce

  6. 6

    Cut over reporting and manager dashboards once activity volume validates the switch
