LeadDuo vs HubSpot Forms + CRM
If you're replying hours later, the opportunity is already gone.
HubSpot is great for managing leads after conversations start.
LeadDuo is built for the moment the lead arrives — the moment where most deals are won or lost.
The Real Difference
HubSpot stores the lead in your CRM.
LeadDuo gets the lead to your phone instantly and helps you respond — before interest fades.
If your business depends on responding fast (real estate, contractors, service businesses, consultants), speed matters more than CRM organization.
