Is it really free, or a free trial?

It is free forever. The free plan is not a trial: there is no expiry date, no countdown, and no credit card on file. Automated monthly backups and 3 restores per month keep running for as long as the app stays installed, at $0.

The honest limits of the free plan

  • Backups run monthly, not weekly or daily.
  • Backups are retained for 7 days.
  • The plan covers up to 2,000 records. If your portal grows past 2,000, backups continue but only cover up to 2,000 records; records beyond the cap are not backed up until you upgrade.

Upgrading makes sense exactly when one of these is true: your portal passes 2,000 records, you need weekly or daily backups instead of monthly, you need more than 3 restores in a month, or you need backups kept longer than 7 days. See pricing.

Do other HubSpot backup tools have a free plan?

Mostly no. Of five competing HubSpot backup tools we checked on July 1, 2026, only Skyvia publishes a free-forever plan ($0, 1 GB storage). ProBackup offers a 7-day trial and SysCloud a 30-day trial; Rewind and Struto backHUB publish neither a free plan nor trial terms.

Checked July 1, 2026, from each vendor's public pricing and product pages. "Not published" means the vendor's own pages did not state the item when we checked.

How do I set up the free backup?

Setup takes about 30 seconds and needs no credit card. You install CRM Data Backup & Restore by Third Space from the HubSpot Marketplace, authorize it with HubSpot OAuth, and the free plan starts immediately with automated monthly backups of up to 2,000 records.

  1. Install the app from the HubSpot Marketplace and choose the portal you want to protect.
  2. Approve the OAuth permissions when HubSpot prompts you. The app only requests the scopes it needs.
  3. Done. Your first backup is scheduled automatically. For a step-by-step walkthrough with screenshots, see the Setup Guide.
