ROI Calculator TOOL FAQ

HubSpot collects data as customers interact with them via their websites or use HubSpot’s subscription services. What they collect, how they use the information they collect, how they share that information, and how customers can manage their information are all described in their Privacy Policy.

The data utilized in the ROI calculator falls into two categories:

Personal data (as defined in HubSpot’s customer data processing agreement); and

HubSpot product usage data

HubSpot collects Personal Data from customers when they submit web forms or interact with our websites, for example subscribing to a HubSpot blog, signing up for a webinar, or requesting customer support. HubSpot also collects Personal Data when customers sign-up for a HubSpot account, create or modify user information, set preferences, or provide any other related information to access or utilize our Subscription Service. 

Usage data includes metrics and information regarding customers’ use and interaction with the Subscription Service such as what product features they use the most, when an object (like a ticket) is created and closed, and how often certain features (like workflows) are triggered in their account.

To ensure HubSpot maintains the privacy of their customers’ data, they use anonymization to remove or modify personally identifiable information, so that data cannot be associated with any one individual. HubSpot employs three standard anonymization techniques to customer outcomes data: attribute suppression, generalization and aggregation.

The data used in this calculator is based on aggregated data from HubSpot customers globally who owned Marketing or Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise for at least 12 months between January 2019 and April 2022. 

In order to be included, the sample for each metric Marketing Hub customers also met the following criteria:

Website traffic - must have installed the HubSpot tracking code on website.

Marketing leads - must have activated the forms feature.

Website conversion rate - must have installed the HubSpot tracking code on website and activated the forms feature.

Sample sizes for each region and industry cohort and metric vary.  But, in order to ensure data privacy and accuracy, HubSpot does not share aggregated data from customer cohorts with sample sizes that do not reach their established cohort size threshold. In these cases, they default to the use of the global value for that metric.

The average improvement for each metric reflects customer performance 12 months post-purchase compared to the average set in the first month after purchasing Marketing Hub or Sales Hub.

The exception is web-conversion rate in which customer performance 12 months post-purchase is compared to the average set in the first three months post-purchase.

HubSpot believes it is critically important to ensure the average improvement values used in this calculator reflect the experience of HubSpot’s customers as accurately as possible. Therefore, before analyzing customer’s data, they screen the data to check for errors, missing data and data distribution. They also employ statistical techniques to identify outliers and clean data so that unusual values do not distort monthly averages. In the case of highly skewed distributions, they use the median value as opposed to the mean because medians are found to be the best measure of central tendency in the case of skewed data.
