Choosing the right marketing automation platform is one of the most consequential marketing technology decisions you will make. Migration between platforms is expensive and disruptive — selecting correctly the first time saves significant cost and effort.
HubSpot
Best for: B2B companies that want CRM + marketing automation + sales tools in one platform. Strengths: CRM integration, sales pipeline visibility, comprehensive reporting. Pricing: free tier available, paid from ₹3,500/month. Weakness: expensive at scale, can be over-engineered for simple use cases.
Klaviyo

Pricing: free up to 250 contacts, scales by contact count. Weakness: primarily email/SMS focused, weaker for multi-channel B2B workflows.
ActiveCampaign
