    Hubspot continues to charge a subscription for a product I do not use. I had signed up for a start up discount trial and realized that I could not learn the system as it was too advanced. I called to notify after the purchase and they stated I needed to continue paying $139 for one year, since I signed a contract for 1 year. I paid 1 full year already for a useless software. The autorewal for the second year started at $695 per month. I cannot pay it and notified them I dont use the software. They stated since I did not cancel prior to the auto renewal I need to pay $695 per month for another year, this is a complete scam as I notified them this software is not even in use and I havent wanted it since the 1st year second month of purchase.

    We had signed up a month to month plan and made it clear to the executive working on our account about the same. We have email proof of the same notifying her that we wanted month to month. She said no problem You can go ahead and sign the contract and then she can make adjustment on the backend. After 6 months of use we decided to cancel and we started getting notices about pending payments etc. they want us to pay for 3-5 years to close the account. They sneaked it into the contract about it being a lock in for 3-5 years instead of month to month which the sales agent had informed us. We feel cheated and taken advantage of and now the company has hired debt collectors to go after the money. Horrendous, scammy service. Stay away. We are filing a case against them regarding false advertising and misleading business practicies.

    Hi *****,

    Thanks so much for bringing to our attention your contract experience with HubSpot. It appears that you had requested a month-to-month contract with quarterly billing terms but that your contract was for 24 months on quarterly billing terms. As your account executive indicated, we do not have a record of this request. Your account with HubSpot has already been canceled due to non-payment, so no further action is needed to cancel your account.

    If there is further intervention you require from our team, please let us know.

    Kindly,

    ******

    Our small business signed up to Hubspot marketing and sales subscriptions only to find out that the emails we were sending via hubspot email automation were not being delivered. We had deliverability experts assess the issue and it was discovered that Hubspot is knowingly listed on *****, and did not disclose this to us before selling the product. That meant that our emails were all going into SPAM folders as ***** is basically a blacklist.Hubspot then avoided us and handed us from support person to support person and it took a long time for any kind of resolution. Basically I had to let them know that I was seeking legal advice before anyone responded. The resolution was that they enabled us 'transactional email' which is a way around the ***** email detection and non-delivery issue. Because it was not our fault and because it caused us loss of income and lots of stress - they 'discounted' this feature for us and it worked out to cost $7.00 monthly instead of what would normally be much more.I asked a the time if this cost would be altered for our next subscription term and the answer was no - I have this in writing. It will stay the same for the life of our relationship/subscription with Hubspot.Our next renewal is due and the cost has gone up as it does. Our success manager said she could probably have that sorted as we are a very small business and we use a very small portion of the functions.This cost was also only if we locked in for another 24 months - we can't afford this and are not willing to.So I requested a quote for 12 months - it is basically the same amount. We can't afford it.In attempt to make this more affordable for our business, I requested a quote for just the marketing subscription and the transactional emails - and now the cost for the transactional emails has gone from around $7.00 to over $500.00 per month!!In my attempts to have someone respond from Hubspot as to why this cost has suddenly risen by around 400% - No response!
