Also a HubSpot user here. HubSpot seems ubiquitous, but extremely restrictive. I don’t know if I want to stay on it long-term. The contact pricing seems laughable to me. I want to automate reaching out to thousands of contacts, not dozens or hundreds.
Founder of a consultancy, so we’re lead heavy and not marketing heavy as another poster here mentions. I have the same questions. I don’t enjoy most email campaign websites. So I’m hoping some people have some good feedback to share here. I don’t think there’s a good marketing solution in that space. It’s best to stick with what is cheapest or who everyone uses, but I can’t decide between any of the existing incumbents.
As for generating leads, almost all of the existing platforms out there are so poor that I’d rather just scan the local corporation commission’s business entity search and go from there.
Assuming you've got opt-in, one of the ways is to split your lists among between 2 providers. One list for core Hubspot type CRM, and the other list for something like mailchimp. You'll have to figure out some logic as to which one goes where. That's basically what we did at our previous startup.

So you want to spam thousands of people?
