Example comparison: popcorn vs HubSpot for a 3-user team

A 3-user team sending up to 3,500 emails and 1,000 WhatsApp messages a month — both within popcorn's standard allowances — pays £99 a month with popcorn. The same usage on HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional costs £702 a month (3-seat minimum) plus a one-off ~£2,370 onboarding fee — a saving of roughly £603 a month, or over £9,600 in year one once HubSpot's onboarding fee is included.

Figures exclude VAT. HubSpot figures are converted from their published USD pricing (~$1 = £0.79) since HubSpot doesn't publish GBP pricing for this tier. Use the calculator above for your own team size and usage.
