Gist is an all-in-one customer communication and marketing automation platform. Gist helps you grow your business and engage with your customers across their lifecycle.

Here's a simple comparison between Gist and Hubspot, including the differences in features and experience.

1. Gist offers an affordable Knowledge Base solution.

Hubspot offers a Knowledge Base solution. The only problem is, you will have to pay atleast $400 per month to access it for your business.

With a Gist Knowledge Base you can:

 - Create rich articles with media (photos and videos).

 - Have a fully-searchable database of articles.

 - Create a tool for your support team to help customers even faster.

With all the Gist offers at a much lower price point, it's difficult to justify the Hubspot price point.

2. Gist offers a complete email marketing suite at a fraction the cost.

In order to get the completely unlocked email marketing features of Hubspot, you’ll have to pay around $800 per month.

Gist offers comparable features for literally a fraction of that cost.

3. Overall Price and Easy of Use.

Both platforms are powerful and offer a lot of the same features, but two factors put Gist on top.

1. Overall Affordability (Speaks for itself) 

2. Implementation: Getting HubSpot online takes some doing. There are agencies and specialists who are trained specifically to set their stuff up — for a fee.
