How does Ancil compare to an agency retainer?+
Ancil keeps diagnosis, governed fixes, delivery work, approvals, reporting, and assigned experts in one operating layer. Audit cadence and expert coverage follow the selected plan.
What does Ancil cost?+
Starter is free and includes a weekly read-only diagnosis. Essential is $1,499 per month or $14,390.40 per year, Freedom is $1,999 per month or $19,190.40 per year, and Enterprise is custom. Onboarding and implementation packages start at $1,500.
Do annual plans include a discount?+
Yes. Annual billing saves 20 percent. Essential works out to $1,199.20 per month when billed annually, and Freedom works out to $1,599.20 per month when billed annually.
Do you offer HubSpot implementation?+
Yes. Onboarding and implementation packages cover Marketing, Sales, Service, Revenue, Smart CRM, Marketing Hub Plus, and Content Hub. Professional packages start at $1,500. Migration, integration, and multi-hub work are scoped separately.
Do you have an agency or white-label plan?+
Yes. Agencies can use a portfolio workspace to manage customer accounts, ownership, delivery, and client access. White-label packaging is scoped with INSIDEA based on portfolio size, branding, and support requirements.
What is included in the free Starter plan?+
Starter includes a weekly read-only HubSpot diagnosis, a health score, and a prioritized view of issues. It does not include fixes, implementation, or managed expert delivery.
What is the difference between Essential and Freedom?+
Essential provides weekly diagnosis, a governed fix queue, shared INSIDEA support, and a 48-hour initial response. Freedom adds daily monitoring, unlimited governed fixes, a dedicated INSIDEA expert, 24-hour priority response, a monthly strategy call, and Slack access.
Are onboarding and managed operations the same service?+
No. Onboarding and implementation are project-based engagements that set up HubSpot. Managed operations are ongoing services after setup, with recurring diagnosis, recommendations, governed fixes, and expert support.
How are onboarding and implementation projects approved and paid?+
Choose the relevant package and book a scoping call. INSIDEA confirms the hubs, tier, add-ons, migration, integrations, timeline, and deliverables, then sends a formal quote through HubSpot. Project intake and delivery open in Ancil after the quote is accepted.
Can I create an implementation project directly inside Ancil?+
You can request project scoping from your Ancil account, but a delivery project does not begin automatically. INSIDEA reviews the request and confirms the commercial scope first so the roadmap matches what was purchased.
Is the launch discount included in these prices?+
No. The published prices are the standard plan prices. Any launch offer will be presented separately with clear eligibility and timing.
