The best HubSpot alternative: own it, don't rent it
Cancelling HubSpot? HubSpot is cheap to start, but the marketing automation you actually want lives in Marketing Hub Professional at $800/month — $9,600/year plus onboarding. Launchtic gives you funnels, email, and automation as a one-time license you self-host.
HubSpot's Starter tier is limited; the automation you actually want sits in Professional at $800/month and climbs with your marketing-contact count.
Why marketers pick Launchtic over HubSpot
Pay once, own it forever
No $9,600/yr bill that never ends. One license, yours for life — your installed version never stops working.
Self-hosted on your VPS
Your funnels, contacts, and revenue live on a $5–10/mo server you control. No vendor lock-in, full data ownership.
No per-contact or usage fees
Unlimited contacts and your own SMTP/payment keys. Grow your list without your software bill climbing.
AI builder + 100+ templates
Describe a funnel and the AI Assistant generates it. Or start from a ready-made template and launch the same day.

No code. No SSH. One command.
You don't need to be a developer. Spin up a $5–10/month VPS, run one install command, and a browser wizard handles the admin account, domains, and free SSL automatically. If you can order a cloud server, you can run Launchtic.
Deploy in 5 minutes
One bash script — Docker, SSL, database, all automated.
License auto-activates
Paste your key once at install; it's live on first boot.
Your infrastructure
Runs on your VPS. Your data never touches our servers.
What operators say after switching
Founding Members who replaced their monthly SaaS with a license they own.
“We moved our whole agency off a $497/mo platform onto Launchtic. Same funnels, same white-label client portals — but we own it now and the monthly bill is just gone.”
“My old platform charged me more every month as my list grew. Now my software cost is fixed and my contacts live on a server I control. I should have switched a year ago.”
“Install took five minutes on a $6 VPS. The AI assistant built my first funnel from a single prompt. No 'powered by' badge, no per-contact fees — it's finally mine.”
“I was stitching together a page builder, an email tool, and a checkout. Launchtic replaced all three with one thing I paid for once. The stack — and the bills — collapsed.”
“Owning the data was the dealbreaker for me. Everything runs on my own infrastructure, and migrating my list over was a single CSV import. Pages load faster than my old SaaS too.”
