HubSpot's CRM is free until you need lead scoring. OCCS includes scoring on every paid plan.
OCCS Contacts and Lead Scoring ship in one workspace — CSV/Sheets import, AI enrichment, engagement scoring, role parsing. HubSpot's free CRM stops short of automated lead scoring; that feature is gated to Sales Hub Professional at $90/seat/mo. The price-per-seat reality of HubSpot is the real pricing.
OCCS
Contacts ship on every plan including Free. Lead Scoring is included on Starter+ ($25/mo flat for the workspace, no per-seat charge). 25 contacts on Free, 1k on Starter, 25k on Growth, unlimited on Scale.
HubSpot
HubSpot CRM Free has unlimited users but no lead scoring. Sales Hub Starter is $20/seat/mo. Sales Hub Professional (where scoring lives) is $90/seat/mo. A 5-seat marketing team at Professional is $450/mo before any add-ons.

HubSpot's per-seat model means a growing team triples the bill without using the product more. OCCS prices the workspace, not the seat — every teammate you add reads the same one Growth subscription.
Feature-by-feature
Honest comparison. Where HubSpot ships the same capability we say so — the moat is in the rows where they don't.
| Feature | OCCS | HubSpot |
|---|---|---|
| Contact list + tagging | ||
| CSV + Google Sheets import | ||
| Dynamic list segmentation | ||
| Lead scoring (engagement + role parsing) | ||
| Lead scoring on the free / starter tier | — | |
| Per-contact AI enrichment (industry, role, size) | — | |
| Per-seat pricing | — | |
| Deals pipeline / sales forecasting | — | |
| Mobile sales-rep app | — |
Bottom line
If your team is sales-led and the deal pipeline is the core artifact, HubSpot earns its seat fee. If your team is marketing-led and what you need is segmentation + scoring + send orchestration, paying $90/seat for scoring you'd use weekly is a tax. OCCS gives you that same scoring on a flat $25-69/mo workspace.
