Deal Harbor at a glance

  • A free tier for one user with up to 1,000 contacts, and paid plans with unlimited contacts. Pricing is per plan, and your contact count never changes your bill.

  • A Deal Analyzer on each deal for the 70% rule offer and a flip projection.
  • Native e-signature (Harbor Sign) with a hash-chained audit trail and an emailed one-time code for signers who need a stronger identity check.
  • Every new workspace starts with a 30-day free trial of the Starter plan, no card required, and paid plans are month-to-month.

How to think about the choice

The difference is mostly scope. HubSpot covers marketing, sales, service and content for almost any industry, and you shape it to real estate yourself. Deal Harbor starts from the deal: the stages, numbers and paperwork an investor or wholesaler already uses are there on day one. Read what a CRM for real estate investors actually needs to do for a checklist you can apply to either.

Which one fits

Choose HubSpot if

  • You want one platform for marketing, sales and customer service across a broad business.
  • Your team already runs on HubSpot and the real estate side is a small part of it.
  • You rely on the wider set of marketing tools and integrations around that platform.

Choose Deal Harbor if

  • Your business is real estate deals and you want stages and fields for investing or wholesaling ready to go.
  • You want deal math, like the 70% rule offer, on the deal record.
  • You want e-signature built in, with an audit trail, rather than added on.
  • You want unlimited contacts on paid plans, priced per plan.
