A HubSpot alternative that connects first and replaces later.
BigStarfish is a custom AI operating system that can replace HubSpot without a risky cutover. It connects on top of HubSpot on day one, runs alongside it while you compare, and can usually replace it in 30 days. Nothing moves until you decide it has earned that.
What is different about it
HubSpot is a capable CRM. It stores your contacts and deals, and your team does the work. BigStarfish is built the other way around: agents do the routine work, and the record keeps itself. It is also built around how your company runs and carries your name, and there are no per-seat fees, so you can add the whole staff.
How the move works
- Connect. BigStarfish mirrors your HubSpot contacts, companies, deals, notes, calls, meetings, and tasks. Your team keeps working in HubSpot.
- Prove. Glass answers questions from the live book, and you check the answers against the source.
- Run side by side. Flow match runs your CRM workflows alongside and shows what each would have made, ahead of a switch.
- Merge. Glide Data merges the book into one record per client, with a before-and-after proof that nothing changed that was not meant to.
- Decide. When it has earned it, the old tool comes off.
When to stay on HubSpot
If your team works the CRM daily, your data is in good shape, and you are happy with what it costs, you may not need this. BigStarfish fits best when a company has become too specific for general software, or wants the work done and not only stored.
What the monthly covers
AI usage, phone lines, texting, email sending, hosting, backups, updates, and named support, with no per-seat fees. Pricing is shared after the demo.
Common questions
- What is a good alternative to HubSpot for a mid-size company?
- It depends on whether you want another place to store records or a system that does the work. BigStarfish is the second kind: a custom AI operating system that connects on top of HubSpot first and can usually replace it in 30 days.
- Do I have to migrate on day one?
- No. It connects on top of HubSpot on day one, and your team keeps working as they do now. Nothing moves until you decide it has earned that.
- What happens to our HubSpot data?
- It is mirrored, then merged into one record per client with a before-and-after proof. You can read the result before anything changes.
- Does it work with Salesforce?
- HubSpot is connected today. Other CRMs, including Salesforce, are scoped at discovery.
