What sales engagement features does HubSpot offer for free?
Email tracking (opens and clicks), meeting scheduling with a booking link, limited email templates, and basic sequences. It's not Outreach, but it covers early-stage needs.
Can you run sales sequences for free?
HubSpot's free tier includes limited sequences. Apollo's free plan includes email sequences. Neither matches Outreach's depth, but both work for small teams.
When should you upgrade from free sales engagement?
When you need more than 5 active sequences, advanced A/B testing, or team-level analytics. Usually when you add a third SDR.
