Different editions and new-customer discounts can change the price; credits, channel usage and tax may add cost.

Threadkite’s calling and messaging have separate usage charges. Calling with your own Twilio account is subject to availability; built-in UK calling is rolling out. WhatsApp is billed by Meta directly. AI has an included allowance, with larger tiers and optional extra usage. See all Threadkite prices and allowances.
Moving from HubSpot? Check these first.
Start with the customer’s messages
Choose the customer-facing addresses, forms and messaging accounts you want to connect. Start with a real customer interaction and follow it across channels in Threadkite, keeping the same history and owner in view.
Map contacts and ownership carefully
Prepare a contact CSV with the fields and consent you need, then preview the import. Old tickets, CRM activities, deals, associations and conversation history are not part of contact CSV import.
Test routing and any custom connection
Connect your forms, recreate saved replies and set inbox routing, then test a real lead and support handover. Where another system needs ongoing updates, use the Pro API and webhooks to build and test the custom integration before switching.
Questions
- Can Threadkite replace HubSpot?
- Threadkite is an alternative for the customer inbox and lead follow-up: one thread per customer across connected channels, with an owner, private notes and the full messaging history. This comparison is scoped to HubSpot’s inbox and Service Hub tools.
- Why does the pricing example use Service Hub Professional?
- HubSpot’s help desk workspace is offered on Service Hub Professional and Enterprise. The example uses Professional’s annual price of $90 USD per Service seat/month, plus the required $1,500 one-time onboarding fee. Other editions have different features and prices.
- Does HubSpot include WhatsApp on Free or Starter?
- Its channel documentation requires an eligible Marketing Hub or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription to connect WhatsApp. Threadkite supports an owned WhatsApp Business account on Pro, with Meta messaging charges separate.
- Can Threadkite connect to my other systems?
- Pro includes an API and webhooks for custom integration work. Your systems can send customer details and leads into Threadkite and hear about changes. A contact CSV is also available for a one-off import; ongoing sync needs an integration designed for your systems.
