Hubspot versus Slaask

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.

Slaask is THE customer service app for all Slack users.

Slaask is hyperspecialized and 100% Slack-based. It allows you and your company to unify all of your internal and external communication: interact with your leads and customers wherever they are (your site, Facebook page, Twitter page, iOS app, Android app, your mailbox, etc.) from a single point in space: Slack!

By allowing you to have your internal and external communication in the same place, tab-toggling is a thing of the past, no more time is wasted switching between different tools as everything happens in your Slack workspace. The best part? Completely transparent on the customer side.

We wrote an article that includes Slaask as one of the 6 best Slack Chat Providers in 2022.

Slaask’s features allow you to take care of all your customers’ needs: from our Marketplace to our Meetings feature, and not forgetting our powerful Conversation Flows feature which allows you to create specific paths for your customers to follow based on their needs. These flows can be either 100% automatic or a mix of automatic communication and human input, allowing you to filter incoming conversations and focus on the ones most important to your business.

Notable customers of Slaask include Cumul.io, Windoo, and Sky Rocket Development.
