I honestly dont know in which subject i need to put this, if i am wrong, please let me know. I wanted to know if i can create a website that has a paid membership, where when they login they can see all kinds of pictures and videos max 5 min long with activities using hubspot? With the starters CRM plan.
For example, They select 2 membership options and when they login (depending on their membership), they can look at the activities with videos and pictures and a way to manage their membership account. Is this possible with hubspot?
Hi, @JI92 ,
depending on the Hubspot subscription you have, you might be able to use Smart content. It allows you to show different content to people in different lists. Let’s say you have a form where people register and choose the membership type/tier. You can set that form to be the segmentation criteria for lists. Then, you can have a list with people with membership 1, others with membership 2, etc. And you can then set up the content on the site to be different depending on which list the contact is in.
Would that work?

Hi @elizheleva ,
Thank you for your response!
No, because than i would need the professional or enterprise packages. I do not have that kind of money ![]()
So i want to start in starters. From what i am understanding is that my idea is possible with hubspot! (jeej!) But is it also possible to do with the starters CRM plan?
Kind regads,
Jani
You’re definitely not alone in wanting to build a membership-based content site on HubSpot — and you’re right that Starter plans don’t include native membership features like gated content or login-based access.
That said, there’s a practical workaround that gives you the functionality you’re looking for without needing to upgrade to Enterprise.
At SparkGrid Software, we’ve built a Box Connector CMS module that integrates directly with HubSpot and allows you to:
- Share folders of content (videos, images, PDFs) based on membership tier
- Control access using HubSpot lists or contact properties
- Track who views or downloads what
- Deliver a seamless, branded experience inside your HubSpot site
- Avoid using HubSpot’s public file manager altogether
It works with Starter and Pro plans, so you can launch your membership site without jumping to Enterprise. We’ve seen it used for everything from fitness programs and online courses to nonprofit member portals and digital media libraries.
If you’re planning to offer different content based on membership level (like you mentioned — two tiers with different access), this setup can handle that cleanly.
Let me know if you’d like to see a demo or example layout — happy to help!
