Keap’s implementation packages include data import and migration services for a fee — one of the more supported paths in this category, though it typically costs extra.
Pay for help with the data and own the email part yourself: Keap's implementation packages include import and migration services for a fee, but automations and sequences are rebuilt by hand.
Keap is $299/mo flat with 2 users and $39/mo per extra user, likely more than a small team paid on HubSpot, though it adds invoicing, payments and scheduling. The bigger risk in any email platform move is your sender reputation. Authenticate your sending domain in Keap before the first campaign, clear out bounced and long-inactive contacts before import, and send the first few campaigns only to people who engaged recently, because mailbox providers judge a new sending setup by how its first messages are received. I built a 35,000-subscriber list with my own money, and a sloppy first blast from a new system is the fastest route to the spam folder. Keep HubSpot until a real send has landed well.

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
A feature HubSpot Starter does not offer.
Built in.
Covers CRM, marketing, sales and commerce together.
You lose HubSpot’s free plan and its deeper cross-Hub automation and AI ecosystem — Keap’s $299/mo has no free tier.

What this path doesn’t do for you:
HubSpot’s free plan and its broader Breeze AI/reporting ecosystem have no Keap equivalent — expect a simpler but more operationally complete platform in exchange.

Yes, through its paid implementation/migration services.
Likely, for a small team, but you gain invoicing, checkout, payments and scheduling in the same price.
Yes, Keap has no free tier, only a free trial.
No. Automation logic, workflows and segmentation rules are specific to each platform’s builder and are rebuilt by hand in the new tool; only contact data moves via export/import or a migration service.
