Overview: Prophet CRM vs. HubSpot CRM.
Product overview.
What is Prophet CRM?
Prophet CRM is an easy-to-use, fast-to-implement CRM and contact manager embedded in Microsoft Outlook. Prophet CRM can be customized to de-clutter and expedite your unique workflow with intuitive features.
Prophet is engineered to be optimal for small business owners who use Outlook to connect with contacts. No switching between programs is needed to check your calendar, respond to emails, and monitor your sales pipeline and analytics dashboards.
A multitude of software and cloud-based apps can be integrated with Prophet CRM to allow data from different sources to be centered in one place.
Prophet CRM’s support team is always available to answer questions and assist.
What is HubSpot CRM?
HubSpot CRM is a bundle offering of HubSpot’s Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS, Operations, and Commerce Hubs. HubSpot boasts its free CRM, which goes beyond simple contact management, including free versions of all the hubs mentioned above.
HubSpot is known as being an inbound marketing solution, but it offers a broad range of features and capabilities that make it an optimal software solution for individuals and whole teams with different needs.
HubSpot CRM can be integrated with your email inbox, but it is not embedded in it, meaning you either have to do all your business inside of HubSpot, or you will have to switch between two different programs, wasting time and energy.
