Target : HR teams + business unit managers (mid-market)
Marvin

Weighted score: ✅ = 1, 🟡 = 0.5, ➖ not counted.
In summary
HubSpot is an excellent generalist sales CRM — but it's not an ATS. Agencies using it for recruitment hack with custom objects and suffer from the « double funnel » (client CRM ↔ candidate ATS disconnected). Marvin V2 offers recruitment-first pipelines and differentiated licences (1 full HR + consultative manager access) to replace HubSpot for the recruitment + business unit scope, in a single tool.
Why Marvin against HubSpot
The decisive strengths that tip a decision.
Native ATS — HubSpot forces custom-object hacks
GCP Belgium hosting vs US Cloud Act (native GDPR vs contractual DPA)
Free consultative licences for managers — major seat-cost savings
Full recruitment stack (sourcing, outreach, note-taker, client portal) absent in HubSpot
Feature — Marvin vs HubSpot
Honest functional audit — every cell is sourced from the competitor's official site and public reviews.
What HubSpot does better
We're not telling a one-sided story. Here's where HubSpot keeps an edge.
Very mature generalist sales CRM (segmentation, automations, reporting)
Broadest integration ecosystem on the market
Considerable marketing and training resources
