Had to pick between HubSpot and a cheap CRM from a guy in Texas

I spent two weeks last month deciding between a $50/month CRM some dude in Austin built vs HubSpot's $450 starter plan. I went with the cheap one since our list is only 300 people, but now the automation keeps breaking and I'm losing leads. Anyone else regret saving money on a tool that just doesn't work right?

Oh man, that Texas CRM guy sounds like my whole situation last year. I picked a $35 tool from some guy in Colorado because it had this fancy "AI pipeline" thing and it kept emailing my customers at 3 AM with the wrong names. My lead list was only like 200 people but the system would randomly delete contacts from the database and I'd have to re-enter them by hand. Meanwhile my buddy uses HubSpot and his automation runs smooth even when his dog walks across the keyboard.

Bought a $30 CRM from a guy in Florida and it crashed during our biggest sales day.
