Jordan, full disclosure I'm not an unbiased party, I run GTM at Clarify now, but before that I worked at HubSpot and spent 15 years in Salesforce before that. So I've been on all sides of this.
What you're describing is a really common complaint once a business outgrows HubSpot. Given what you've shared and where you're at, I'd focus more on how much manual work you want the CRM to absorb versus how much you want to configure yourself. That's the real fork in the road between something like Clarify, which leans AI native and does more of the work for you, versus a more traditional CRM where you're the one building the logic. We're actually built specifically for early stage founders and companies, so that framing is pretty close to home for us. Worth figuring out which side of that you actually want before picking a tool.
Happy to walk you through a guided onboarding so you can get a real feel for it yourself, no pressure either way.
