Which HubSpot tool is at the top of its game? You decide.

The HubSpot Bracket Battle is officially live and now it’s up to you to decide which feature is the best of the pack, or which will be a bracket buster.

We seeded 8 of the HubSpot community’s most-used tools, put them head-to-head, now the rest is up to you to vote for your favorite features.

If you’re saying to yourself, “but my favorite feature hasn’t been built yet”, don’t worry, we’ve got an Ideas Forum Showdown because while we love our tools today, there’s always more to build.

Your Round 1 matchups:

:gear: Workflows & Automation vs. Breeze AI — The backbone of HubSpot vs. the newcomer making noise. Is Breeze AI living up to the hype, or does the automation veteran hold its ground?

:bar_chart: Reporting & Dashboards vs. Meetings Tool — The feature your leadership team lives in vs. the one your whole team actually uses every day.

:e_mail: Email Marketing vs. Sequences — Same channel, different teams. Marketing nurture vs. Sales outreach. Which side of the house wins?

:handshake: Deals Pipeline vs. Service Hub Tickets — Sales vs. Service. The beating heart of Sales Hub takes on the tool keeping customers from losing their minds.

How to vote:

The full bracket is live on Polltab, no account required. Pick your winners across all four matchups, see results update in real time, then drop your hot take in the comments below.
