What platforms and software should you include in your martech stack this year?

Research firm Grand View Research predicts the global marketing automation software market will reach **$9.5 billion by 2027**, up dramatically from the $1.9 billion mark just a few years ago. With more options than ever, choosing the right platform is critical to your business success.

At Lean Labs, we have a deep, longstanding relationship with HubSpot. After years of experimenting with different platforms—including building our own custom "[frankensystem](https://275827.hubspotpreview-na1.com/blog/how-to-build-hubspot)"—we ultimately landed on HubSpot as our platform of choice.

With HubSpot, we create [powerful modular websites](https://275827.hubspotpreview-na1.com/blog/is-modular-website-design-the-secret-to-high-conversion-websites-on-a-budget), drive traffic, generate leads, and deliver measurable results for our clients through a single, integrated marketing platform. In fact, HubSpot is a key reason we're able to consistently 10x traffic, leads, and opportunities for our clients.

While we're [enthusiastic HubSpot advocates](/solutions/hubspot-revops), we recognize it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. That's why we've compiled this comprehensive guide to the top 15 marketing automation platforms on the market, comparing their strengths, weaknesses, and pricing to help you make the best decision for your business.

### Choosing The Right Marketing Automation Software

As you can see, when it comes to [choosing marketing automation software](/blog/why-go-hubspot), the options are plentiful. The key is choosing a solution that is both within your budget and contains the features you most value.

For example, if you know your team lacks tech savvy, choosing a provider with a solid reputation for A+ customer support is probably a good idea. Additionally, make sure you have a clear understanding of your marketing goals and a strong strategy in place before putting down your credit card.

You don't want to pay for more features than you need any more than you want to cobble together solutions for missing capabilities. Remember, no matter which option you choose, marketing automation software is not a magic wand — it's a tool that is only as effective as the plan behind it.

Choosing The Right Marketing Automation Software As you can see, when it comes to choosing marketing automation software, the options are plentiful. The key is choosing a solution that is both within your budget and contains the features you most value. For example, if you know your team lacks tech savvy, choosing a provider with a solid reputation for A+ customer support is probably a good idea. Additionally, make sure you have a clear understanding of your marketing goals and a strong strategy in place before putting down your credit card. You don't want to pay for more features than you need any more than you want to cobble together solutions for missing capabilities. Remember, no matter which option you choose, marketing automation software is not a magic wand — it's a tool that is only as effective as the plan behind it.
