Boei versus Hubspot

Boei is a Dutch one man company founded in 2021. Their main focus is turning website visitors into leads. When someone makes contact through Boei they automatically become a lead. Leads can then be ansewered in another app or in the official apps (e.g. WhatsApp).

Boei aims to serve as the frontend for customers to contact you, offering many integrations and plugins with that specific goal in mind. You can communicate through other platforms from a single button on your website.

Boei has a free plan for two communication channels on your website, limited to 50 conversations per month for 1 agent. Their paid plans start at $8 per month with Essentials, which includes all their communication channels, and is limited to 1000 conversations per month for 1 agent.

• Pro starts at $20 per month.

• Agency starts at $75 per month.

• All plans have a 14 day free trial.

Hubspot has a wide range of tools and products for inbound marketing, sales, and customer service. They offer 5 Hubs for each respective suite.

The idea for Hubspot was conceived in 2004 by two graduate students at MIT who saw the need for a more helpful, less interruptive, customer service platform. Nowadays, Hubspot can be seen as one of Salesforce’s main competitors.

Hubspot’s products and plans are sorted into Hubs for Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, CMS, and Operations. You can combine the Hubs to create your own bundle or choose the complete Hubspot suite. Their Live Chat is included in the free tools of the Service Hub. This suite also includes the free features of their CRM Hub.

In 2017 Hubspot acquired a company named Motion.ai, a company purely focused on creating the best chatbots. Motion.ai is now known as Hubspot’s Chatbot Builder, in their CRM hub.

The Service Hub has integration options for more than 50 apps, most of them paid.

Free plans, with limited functionality for most tools, are available for all Hubs for an unlimited number of agents. The paid plans for the Service Hub start at $18 per month for 2 agents to use the included paid tools and features.

Hubspot has over 140,000 customers in 120+ countries.
