HubSpot alternative for small business

03Which one
When to choose each.
An honest answer: both are good software for different businesses.
Choose HubSpot if…
- Inbound marketing is your main growth engine: content, email campaigns, landing pages and ads.
- You have a dedicated marketing team and want deep attribution and reporting.
- You need a very large integration marketplace.
Choose DukeOS if…
- Your customers reach you on WhatsApp and you need replies, bookings and renewals handled.
- You want one app for customers, appointments, invoices and stock, not several hubs.
- You want predictable pricing: one price per business, rupees in India.
- You want an AI that does the routine work while you approve.
Moving from HubSpot
Export your contacts, companies, leads and products from your current system as CSV files. In DukeOS, the Imports app maps each column to a field, shows a preview of what will be created, and then imports in the background, without starting any automations. Duke can also set up the pages and pipeline stages you used before, so your team sees familiar names on day one.

06Questions
Common questions
Is DukeOS a good HubSpot alternative in India?
For small service and retail businesses, yes: it is priced in rupees per business ($49 to $199 a month, shown in rupees, plus GST), WhatsApp is built in, invoices support GST, and bookings, memberships and stock are included. Businesses focused on large-scale inbound marketing may still prefer HubSpot.
Does DukeOS have a free plan?
Building your app is free: you can set everything up with Duke and pay only when you publish. Live demos are free to explore without signing up. Students can get 3 months for a one-time $15 (plus GST in India).
Can DukeOS send marketing messages?
Yes, through approved WhatsApp templates, email templates, automations and AI agents. Every message Duke prepares waits for your approval unless you switch on a standing approval for your own templates, with a limit per run.
How do I move from HubSpot to DukeOS?
Export contacts, companies and deals as CSV files and import them with the Imports app. It previews what will be created and never triggers automations during the import.
Does DukeOS work for teams?
Yes. Plans include up to 3, 10 or 25 team members, with roles that decide what each person can see and do, and branches for businesses with more than one location.
