HubSpot to WordPress
Over the past year I’ve noticed more and more people inquiring about moving their blog from HubSpot to WordPress. There are many reasons behind their desire to move, but reducing costs seems to be the reason I’ve heard most often.
Moving blogs to WordPress is something to consider when cutting expenses from your budget. WordPress is open source, and there are no monthly fees associated with using this software. So if you’re trying to save some money by moving from HubSpot to WordPress you’ve come to the right place.
Moving from HubSpot isn’t easy
Unfortunately, migrating from HubSpot isn’t that easy of a process. There is no export tool where you can easily export all your HubSpot content and import it into WordPress. Additionally, access to the database isn’t readily available so most users feel overwhelmed at the idea of manually importing their posts and comments from HubSpot to WordPress. Moving images from HubSpot is problematic for most people as well.
