What HubSpot is known for
Grew up as a marketing platform and is excellent at it. Marketing, sales and service sit together, with Breeze agents for prospecting and customer conversations.
How HubSpot's AI is charged
With HubSpot Credits. Each plan includes a monthly allowance; usage beyond it is billed. Most agents need the Professional or Enterprise tier.
With Centaur, you connect your own AI account and pay your AI provider directly, at their rate. There are no credits to buy, no per-conversation fees and no markup.
Where Centaur differs
Centaur is built for the sales team first. Its Outreach Agent works from the rep's own mailbox and calendar, books the meeting and turns the lead into a deal, with no credits to watch.
Inbound marketing and content are the heart of how you win business.
You are a B2B sales team of roughly 15 to 200 on Microsoft 365, inbound enquiries wait too long for a reply, and you want the CRM kept up to date from your emails and calls instead of by hand.
