HubSpot limits

Limits on HubSpot Marketing Hub and Sales Hub combined

• Limits on HubSpot Number of Contacts

  • HubSpot strictly limits the number of marketing contacts you can have between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Sales Hub combined based on your plan tier.
    • If you exceed the allocated number of marketing contacts (and this can happen unexpectedly via data sync or other means), you’ll immediately be billed for the annual amount at the next tier of contacts. There’s no undoing the billing until the next annual billing cycle. Your contract tier pricing can’t be downgraded until your renewal date. This is a big ‘gotcha’ that many organizations probably aren’t aware of!
  • Storage for up to 15 million overall contacts, 1 million non-Marketing Contacts (combined between Marketing Hub and Sales Hub).

• Limits on HubSpot Fields/Properties

  • Max 1,000 custom fields per object.
  • Max 1,000 values per picklist property.
  • Multiple checkboxes maximum of 5,000 options. Each option has a maximum of 3,000 characters, including its label, value, and description.
    • You can’t clear/remove just one option from a HubSpot multi-select checkbox field programmatically via a workflow, you can only append data to a multi-select checkbox field.
  • Single-line text or Multiple-line text character limit is 65,536 characters (when the value is submitted through a form, there is no limit).
  • Max 30 custom HubSpot user properties.
  • Salesforce integration:
    • Max 500 field mappings per object.
    • Limited or no campaigns sync with Salesforce campaigns; mapping campaigns in HubSpot to Salesforce data is clunky and manual, mapping any data outside of Accounts and Contacts is painful and clunky.

• Limits on HubSpot Lists

  • HubSpot puts a limit on the number of lists you can have based on each plan, maxed out at 1500 active / 1500 static on Enterprise.
  • Requires Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise plan to add a contact to a list in a workflow.
  • Add up to 250 criteria filters to an active list.
  • HubSpot has some limitations with regard to how complex of criteria you can build for active lists.
    • For example, you can do (this OR that) or (this AND that), but not ((this OR that) AND this) AND ((this OR that) AND this).

• Limits on HubSpot Campaigns

  • HubSpot campaigns requires Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise plan.
  • HubSpot is limited to 1,000 campaigns per portal.

• Limits on HubSpot Workflows

  • Max 500 workflows per portal.
  • Add up to 20 branches to an if/then branch action.
  • Add up to 250 enrollment triggers to a workflow.
  • Requires Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise plan to add a contact to a list in a workflow.

• Limits on HubSpot Forms

  • Max 10,000 forms.
