The HubSpot alternative for businesses whose customers are on WhatsApp

HubSpot was built around email, forms and marketing funnels. If your customers talk to you on WhatsApp, AssistantLabs gives you a CRM that fills itself from those conversations, and a personal assistant that answers, records every detail and follows up on time.

  • A CRM that fills itself
  • Official WhatsApp Business API
  • Set up with an expert in one session
  • Keep HubSpot and connect it

Who HubSpot is great for, and who it isn’t

Let’s be fair: HubSpot is an excellent platform. It brings marketing, sales and service together, it has a free CRM, a huge integration marketplace and a big community. For companies with a marketing team, who sell through content, email and website forms, and who have someone to run the system, it is a strong choice.

But for a lot of small and mid-sized businesses the day looks different. Customers do not fill in a form; they send a WhatsApp message. The quote is agreed in the chat, the appointment is booked in the chat, and "where is my order?" arrives in the chat. When the CRM does not live there, someone has to copy the details across. In practice, nobody does.

AssistantLabs starts from the conversation. Your personal assistant answers customers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and your website, and from every conversation it creates the contact, notes what the customer asked for, moves the deal to the right stage and schedules the next follow-up. The CRM fills itself; you just open it to see where every customer stands.

What changes when your CRM lives inside WhatsApp

No more data entry

Name, phone, what they want, where they came from, their budget. The assistant takes it all from the conversation and writes it to the contact record. You copy nothing.

Follow-up happens on its own

A customer asked for a quote and went quiet? The assistant follows up on WhatsApp at the time you set, in your tone, and updates the record with their answer.

One timeline per customer

Conversations, meetings, deals, payments and tasks on a single timeline. Whoever opens the record knows what happened and what comes next.

A simple CRM nobody has to study

There is no admin certification and no months of configuration. If your team can use WhatsApp, they can use this.

Shaped to your business

Contacts, companies, deals and meetings come ready, and you can add record types of your own: properties, vehicles, patients or projects.

Set up with you, not by you

In one session an expert connects WhatsApp, imports your contacts and sets your deal stages with you. No implementation project, no code.

Move over from HubSpot, or connect it

You do not have to choose. Keep working in HubSpot and connect it, or bring everything across.

  1. 1

    Connect WhatsApp

    Connect through the official WhatsApp Business API, on the number your customers already know. From then on every new conversation lands in the CRM with its details.

  2. 2

    Keep HubSpot, or import from it

    Happy in HubSpot? Connect it, and contacts and conversations from WhatsApp reach it too. Ready to move? Import your contacts and companies, and duplicates are handled for you.

  3. 3

    Let the assistant work

    It answers, records and follows up. You step into any conversation whenever you want, and the deals board shows what moved this week and what is stuck.

Where it fits better than HubSpot

Clinics and service providers

Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp and appointments are booked in the chat. The assistant books, reminds, and every visit is logged on the client’s record.

Real estate

Every enquiry is recorded with area, budget and property type. The assistant sends matching listings, and the board shows who is ready for a viewing.

Online stores

Customers ask about products and orders on WhatsApp. The CRM connects to Shopify or WooCommerce, so purchases and conversations sit on the same record.

Talk to us on WhatsApp
What is the best HubSpot alternative for small business?
It depends where your customers talk to you. If most of your work is email and content, HubSpot does that well. If your customers message you on WhatsApp, you want a CRM that lives there and fills itself from those conversations, which is what AssistantLabs is built for.
Is there a cheaper alternative to HubSpot?
With AssistantLabs you start free, with no credit card, and pay only as you grow; every plan is on the pricing page. The bigger saving is usually time: nobody types in details or chases customers by hand.
Can I keep HubSpot and still use AssistantLabs?
Yes. Connect HubSpot and keep working in it, with contacts and conversations from WhatsApp reaching it too. If you would rather move over completely, import your contacts and companies and duplicates are handled for you.
What is a CRM with WhatsApp integration?
A CRM connected straight to your business WhatsApp, so every conversation is recorded on the customer’s record. AssistantLabs goes a step further: the assistant also answers customers, moves the deal along and follows up when it should.
Is AssistantLabs a simple CRM?
Yes. Contacts, companies, deals and meetings work out of the box, and the assistant keeps them up to date. An expert sets it up with you in one session, so there is nothing to learn before you start.
Is it also a Monday CRM alternative?
Yes, if what you are missing is the WhatsApp connection and automatic follow-up. And if you love your Monday boards, connect Monday and keep working there while the assistant updates it from your conversations.
How long does it take to switch from HubSpot?
Most businesses are working on day one. An expert sets it up with you in a single session: WhatsApp connected, contacts imported, deal stages defined. No implementation project and no developer.
