SEMAOS vs HubSpot Sales Hub
TL;DR. Both tools are self-serve and both publish their pricing — the difference is the shape of it. HubSpot Sales Hub is per-seat at a published $90/seat/month (annual), plus a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee on the Professional tier[1]. Five seats is about $5,400 a year plus that onboarding. SEMAOS Team is a flat $199/month — $2,388 a year — with eight seats included and no onboarding fee. HubSpot is a module of a broad CRM suite; SEMAOS is a focused, mailbox-native sales-engagement tool. That is the entire comparison — the rest of this page is the supporting detail.

When is HubSpot Sales Hub the better choice?
HubSpot Sales Hub is the better choice when your company already runs on the HubSpot CRM, or wants one vendor for CRM, marketing and sales.
- You are already standardized on the HubSpot CRM — or plan to be — and want sales tooling in the same system as your marketing and service data.
- You want one vendor for CRM, marketing automation, and sales engagement together, and the per-seat cost is worth the consolidation.
When is SEMAOS the better choice?
SEMAOS is the better choice when you want email outreach done well without adopting a CRM suite.
- Built for small teams. Self-serve sales engagement for teams of 1–50 whose motion is email-first — sign up, import contacts, run sequences, and send, without adopting a whole CRM ecosystem.
- Send from your own mailbox. Connect Gmail or Outlook and your 1:1 sequence emails send from your real inbox — best deliverability for outreach that should read like a personal note. Broadcasts still go over our sending domain.
- Flat pricing, no onboarding fee. $199/month for the Team plan with eight seats included, billed monthly or annual, cancel anytime. Adding people doesn't multiply the bill, and there is no onboarding charge.
- Focused, not a suite. One job done well — sequences, sending, and engagement — instead of a sales module inside a larger platform you have to adopt.
What does SEMAOS cost for each team size?
A 5-person team pays $129 a month on SEMAOS Starter, and a 12-person team pays $275 a month on Team. The table prices each team size on the cheapest paid plan that holds it, using the published prices. Free holds one person and has no platform sending, so it isn't listed.
| Team size | Cheapest paid plan | Price / month | Platform sends / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | Solo | $35 | 7,500 |
| 3 people | Starter | $79 | 25,000 |
| 5 people | Starter + 2 extra seats | $129 | 25,000 |
| 8 people | Team | $199 | 75,000 |
| 12 people | Team + 4 extra seats | $275 | 75,000 |
| 20 people | Business | $399 | 200,000 |
Extra seats cost $25 a month on Starter, $19 on Team and $15 on Business. Starter stops at 5 seats, so a sixth person means Team. Team adds unlimited active sequences and member send permissions, which some 5-person teams want anyway. Email sent through a connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox never counts against the platform sends column; SEMAOS caps it at 250 to 1,000 per mailbox per day instead, depending on the kind of account. Contacts are unlimited on every plan.
