How do I test for functionality in a different tier (Sales) Hub?

PSterkenburg — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 16:49:20 GMT

I have Sales Hub Starter, and have a dev environment, where I of course have access to Enterprise features.

However, I want to help answer questions and do demo test setups for (potential) clients, who for example are on Sales Hub Pro.

How do I set up an environment that mimics the limitations and possibilities of - in this case - Sales Hub Pro, in order to provide valid solutions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi PSterkenburg,

You’re looking to replicate Sales Hub Pro’s features/limits for testing without Enterprise-level access. Since dev environments default to Enterprise, creating a separate account (e.g., a sandbox or trial) with Sales Hub Pro is the best workaround.

If you’re a Solutions Partner, request a Pro-tier sandbox via HubSpot’s partner tools. Otherwise, use a secondary account (free or trial) and upgrade it temporarily to Pro. HubSpot’s Knowledge Base has guides for sandbox setups if you need specifics.

Good luck with your demos!

@emilianovargas THANK YOU! Great options, both of which I will explore. This is exactly what I was looking for!
