Custom CRM vs Salesforce vs HubSpot: Which is Best for Indian Businesses?

Custom CRM vs Salesforce vs HubSpot for Indian Businesses

Indian businesses often debate between custom CRM development and off-the-shelf options like Salesforce or HubSpot. Here is a detailed comparison.

Salesforce

Most powerful CRM globally. Steep learning curve, complex customisation requiring certified consultants, and expensive — $25–$300/user/month. Annual cost for 10 users: ₹2,25,000–₹27,00,000.

HubSpot

User-friendly with a generous free plan. Paid plans: $20–$120/user/month. Good for small teams but becomes expensive at scale. Limited customisation for Indian-specific workflows.
