Control

Open-source and self-hostable path.

Commercial SaaS platform.

Migration path

Aexy does not require a rip-and-replace rollout. Start with the workflow that hurts most, then move more company context into the operating layer.

Start with a customer or GTM workflow that needs engineering or workflow context.

Import core objects and map custom fields into Aexy's CRM model.

Use Aexy automations and agents for handoffs, enrichment, summaries, and routing.

FAQ

Is Aexy a direct replacement for HubSpot?

Aexy can replace some HubSpot workflows for teams that want CRM, GTM, engineering, docs, workflows, and AI agents in one company OS. The right path depends on your current process and migration risk.

When should teams choose HubSpot?

HubSpot can be the better choice when your team is already standardized around its core workflow and does not need a broader open company operating layer.

How should we evaluate Aexy?

Start with one workflow that crosses tools, then compare governance, migration effort, data control, internal links, and the number of handoffs Aexy can remove.
