Switch
Switch from HubSpot.
A suite that grows from marketing into sales and revenue. Belda does the work, and you decide with one key. Your HubSpot comes across with one login, the field map approved before anything is written, undo in one press.
What changes on Monday
On Monday the replies are read for you. Every reply is read into one of twelve classes and answered in its own language; a held reply waits with the answer drafted and the rule that held it, and you approve, edit or dismiss it with one key. In HubSpot, sequences stop on a reply. In HubSpot, the prospecting agent adapts to the contact's preferred language, from our earlier table and not re-read this walk.
The meeting books itself from your calendar. Two genuinely free slots go inside the answer, under your own rules for lead time, hours and meetings a day; the slot ledger refuses a double booking and the invite leaves from you. In HubSpot, scheduling pages over a connected Google or Microsoft 365 calendar.
The deal moves when the work moves. A meeting the agent booked moves the deal on its own, with the reason on the timeline, and only you move it to Won. In HubSpot, mail and meetings from the connected inbox log to the record under logging and never-log rules.
What you keep
Your record. Your HubSpot comes across with one login, the field map approved before anything is written, undo in one press. Nobody you imported gets a letter until you release their market.
Your mailbox, your calendar, your notetaker and your team's chat stay yours. Letters leave from your own mailbox through the send gate, the notetaker you already pay for connects in one press, and Slack or Teams carries the card to the channel you name, where you decide it with the same keys.
Your rules, market by market. A market card sets the default language and the rules for each market, with the reason for each, and the person's own language wins over the card.
What Belda does that HubSpot only recorded: 9 of 19
- Answer every reply and book the meeting from my calendar. HubSpot: partly. Belda: Every reply read, classified and answered in the prospect's own language, with two free slots from your calendar in the reply itself, not a booking link; a yes books the meeting and the invite goes out from your calendar.
- Guard every send with code, and let me decide with one key. HubSpot: partly. Belda: The model drafts; the quote guard, the letter guard, the policy check and the slot ledger stand between every draft and the prospect; you decide with one key, and a reply goes out unattended only once that kind of reply has earned it on your own record; step in once, it is pulled back.
- Run one record from the first letter to the settled invoice, and keep what accumulates mine. HubSpot: partly, across its hubs, bought separately. Belda: One record from the first letter to the meeting, the recap, the quote, the signature and the invoice, yours to export with the source and the day behind every fact, with no other CRM under it.
- Read every reply. HubSpot: partly. Belda: Twelve classes. A held reply waits with the answer drafted and the rule that held it. A approves, E edits, D dismisses.
- Book from my calendar. HubSpot: partly. Belda: Two genuinely free slots from the seller's own calendar inside the reply, under the seller's own rules for lead time, hours and meetings a day; the slot ledger refuses a double booking; the invite goes from the seller with the right colleagues on it.
- Draft the proposal from the call, held for me. HubSpot: partly. Belda: After a held meeting the agent proposes the quote from the transcript and your price book, and it waits for your yes.
- Live in Slack or Teams. HubSpot: partly. Belda: Slack and Teams connect once for the team and route to the channel you name; the card lands there and you decide it there with the same keys.
- Reach LinkedIn and WhatsApp from the same desk, at human pace. HubSpot: partly. Belda: LinkedIn and WhatsApp are paired from the seller's own signed-in tab, run as lanes of the same sequence at human pace within a budget you can read, and a reply in any channel stops the sequence and lands on the desk.
- Bring my old CRM across in one press. HubSpot: partly. Belda: Pipedrive and HubSpot come across with one login; the field map is approved before anything is written, an import undoes, a second run adds only what is new, and nobody imported gets a letter until you release their market; any other CRM comes across by file with the columns mapped once.
What HubSpot does well: 10 of 19
- Find the companies: The prospecting agent works from a Play (segments, personas, the signals that fire: job posts, funding, leadership change, technology adoption), finds and enriches the contacts and drafts the letters with a one-line reason to reach out, on Starter and up, Starter and up.
- Write the first letter: The prospecting agent researches the company and the contact and drafts personalised letters.
- Send from my own mailbox: Sequence mails are one-to-one sales mails from a connected personal inbox, not marketing mail.
- Answer in the prospect's language: The prospecting agent adapts to the contact's preferred language, from our earlier table and not re-read this walk, the agent's letters.
- Record itself: Mail and meetings from the connected inbox log to the record under logging and never-log rules.
- Join my calls: The notetaker records and takes notes in Zoom, Meet and Teams meetings and, without a bot in the room, from the recordings the platform already makes, proposing CRM updates.
- Quote and sign: Quotes with e-signature and payment, quote templates, approvals and rules, Revenue Hub Professional.
- Invoice: Invoices, payment links and subscriptions are on the free plan.
- Tell me what to change: Dashboards and a reports list on the free plan, and the assistant tells you what a report shows and writes a report from a sentence.
- The fifty words a CRM claims: Contacts, companies, deals, tickets, tasks, calls and meetings as objects with saved views, quick filters, boards and tables, a cell on a table or a card edited in place and autosaved, an invalid value underlined red with its cause and an undo offered where the edit happened for a short time, by its help articles of April to September 2026.
The matrix below carries every cell with the day it was read.
