Summary

You have been looking at all kinds of marketing automation tools and price is often the first of many criteria applied to the search of any product or service. This pricing information should help you narrow down your search. That said, it is important to keep in mind the reason that got you started on your search for a marketing automation tool. The functionalities you are looking for range from CRM, CMS, analytics, user tracking, chat, email marketing, automation, forms, etc. and all of those serve the purpose of making a sale. It is important to not lose sight of the ultimate goal. From lead generation, qualification, and nurturing to converting a customer, the steps can be approached through an outbound methodology or an inbound one. That makes content generation, content marketing, and blogs important features to include in your marketing strategy.

At Kalungi, we are biased towards Hubspot for B2B SaaS Companies. We became a Hubspot Partner after having used many of these tools and finding the Hubspot Platform the best fit. Mailchimp is a great alternative if you only need Email Automation. 

Finally, here is a summary of each tier's pricing information grouped by basic functionality.
