HubSpot Breeze: The Complete Guide (2026)

HubSpot Breeze is HubSpot's AI suite.

It includes three layers: a free in-app assistant, a roster of credit-billed agents that run end-to-end workflows, and Breeze Intelligence — the Clearbit-derived data layer that powers enrichment, buyer intent and form shortening.

In this guide, I'll show you exactly how Breeze works, what each agent does, what it actually costs in 2026, and where it falls short.

Let's dive in.

What you'll learn in this guide

• What HubSpot Breeze is — and what it isn't
• How each of the six core Breeze Agents works
• The 2026 pricing model (HubSpot Credits explained)
• The biggest gotchas before you activate any agent
• Our recommended deployment order
• Answers to the questions we get asked the most

Quick summary

• Breeze is the only AI brand inside HubSpot now. "ChatSpot" and "Breeze Copilot" were retired at INBOUND 2025.
• Three layers: Assistant (free), Agents (credit-billed), Intelligence (data layer).
• Six core agents are generally available: Customer, Prospecting, Content, Social Media, Knowledge Base, and Data.
• Two agents now bill on outcomes: $0.50 per resolved Customer Agent conversation, $1 per Prospecting Agent qualified lead.
• Everything pulls from one shared HubSpot Credits pool — and credits don't roll over month to month.
• The Social Media Agent is English-only. Every other Breeze Agent supports all HubSpot-supported languages.

1. What is HubSpot Breeze?

Let's clear up the naming first.

HubSpot Breeze is the umbrella brand for every AI capability inside HubSpot. The earlier names — "ChatSpot" and "Breeze Copilot" — are gone.

Breeze sits across every Hub (Marketing, Sales, Service, Content, Data, Commerce) and reads from the same Smart CRM record.

That's the architectural reason its outputs are usually more relevant than a standalone LLM.

HubSpot's own product page puts it this way: "HubSpot's AI that powers the entire customer platform."

What are the three layers of Breeze?

Here's how Breeze breaks down:

1. Breeze Assistant — a conversational helper available to everyone, free.
2. Breeze Agents — autonomous, credit-billed teammates that complete multi-step workflows.
3. Breeze Intelligence — data enrichment, buyer intent, and form shortening, now metered from the unified HubSpot Credits pool.

There's also a fourth, newer layer worth knowing:

Breeze Studio + Breeze Marketplace. This lets admins customize HubSpot-built agents or install partner-built ones — no code required.

Note: HubSpot lists 20+ agents and assistants in total when you include marketplace and beta items. Six are core, generally available agents (covered in section 3).

2. What is Breeze Assistant, and is it really free?

Breeze Assistant is HubSpot's conversational AI surface.

It lives in the top-right of every HubSpot screen on desktop and mobile.

It has read access to whatever CRM data the logged-in user can see.

What does Breeze Assistant do?

Typical jobs include:

• Summarize a contact, deal or ticket
• Draft a follow-up email
• Pull a quick report
• Generate a blog outline
• Answer "what changed on this account in the last 14 days?"

Is Breeze Assistant really free?

Yes. On every plan. Including the free CRM.

This is the single most important pricing fact about Breeze. If you're evaluating HubSpot, you don't need to buy anything to test the Assistant.

What can't Breeze Assistant do?

It's not autonomous.

It responds to prompts. It does not run workflows on its own.

For our money, the Assistant is the most underrated part of Breeze. The agents get all the marketing — but the Assistant saves real time on day one.

Pro Tip: Third-party testing suggests rate limits around 30 requests per minute and 1,000 per day per user. HubSpot doesn't publish these officially, so treat them as directional.

3. What are the six Breeze Agents?

This is where Breeze gets interesting.

All Breeze Agents are managed in Breeze Studio (Breeze > Breeze Studio) and discovered or installed in Breeze Marketplace.

Each agent has an "agent card" with:

• Required inputs
• Instructions
• Knowledge sources (including HubSpot's Knowledge Vaults, currently in beta)
• Tools it's allowed to call

Studio-managed agents default to GPT-5 as of January 12, 2026, per HubSpot's Developer Changelog. Anthropic Claude and other models are used for specific embedded tasks per HubSpot's published Model Cards.

What are Audit Cards?

A January 2026 feature called Audit Cards generates a timestamped record of every AI action — which property changed, what the previous value was, and what data informed the decision.

This is the artifact regulated industries have been asking for. It's now the standard governance surface for Breeze.

Now let's break down each agent.

3.1 What does Breeze Customer Agent do?

Customer Agent is the AI front line.

What it does: Resolves customer inquiries across channels by pulling answers from your HubSpot knowledge base, website (up to 1,000 pages), PDFs, uploaded files and CRM data.

It can take light actions where you've wired them up (checking order status, resetting passwords) and hands off to a human when configured.

Channels (per HubSpot's setup docs):

• Live Chat
• Email
• WhatsApp
• Facebook Messenger
• Calling/Voice (beta)

There's also a separate "Custom Channels" beta that exposes an API some partners use to add SMS, Instagram, Telegram, LINE and Slack. These aren't native channels on HubSpot's own product page — so treat third-party "9 channels" claims with caution.

Languages: Available in all HubSpot-supported languages. The agent auto-detects the visitor's browser language. Quality depends on multilingual source content — don't expect strong non-English output from an English-only KB.

Where it lives: Service Hub Professional and Enterprise primarily. Since June 2025, it's been activatable from any Pro/Enterprise Hub.

Cost: $0.50 per resolved conversation (50 HubSpot Credits) since 14 April 2026. A conversation that doesn't resolve doesn't bill. 28-day free trial available.

Heads up: There are no custom instructions to tell the bot to upsell, qualify, or follow a script. Its behavior is bounded entirely by its knowledge sources. If your KB is sparse, the agent will be confidently sparse with it.

3.2 What does Breeze Prospecting Agent do?

Prospecting Agent is the AI SDR.

What it does: Watches your CRM and target accounts for buying signals — website behavior, intent, news, hiring trends.

Then it:

• Enriches the company
• Identifies the right contact
• Drafts a personalized outreach email
• Queues it for a human rep to review and send

As of the 2025 updates, it uses "selling profiles" so different products, personas and markets can have distinct approaches.

Where it lives: Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise. Accessible from Sales Workspace, the dedicated Prospecting Agent app, and the Target Accounts app.

Cost: $1 per qualified lead recommended for outreach (100 HubSpot Credits) since 14 April 2026. Replaces the older per-enrolled-contact monthly fee.

Includes:

• Company Enrollment (beta — enroll whole companies, not just contacts)
• Lead Cap Controls
• 30-day auto-unenrollment to keep outreach fresh
• 28-day free trial

The important nuance: It writes — it does not send.

A human still reviews and approves outbound. That's both a compliance feature and a limitation if you were expecting a fully autonomous SDR.

3.3 What does Breeze Content Agent do?

Content Agent is the AI marketer.

What it does: Drafts blog posts, landing pages, marketing emails, podcast scripts and case studies using your CRM data, top-performing past content, uploaded reference files and brand voice.

The April 2025 update added automated pre-publish tasks:

• Writing meta descriptions
• Drafting confirmation emails on form submission
• Adding internal links

Where it lives: Marketing Hub and Content Hub Professional or Enterprise. Runs on HubSpot Credits.

Best use case: Production at scale where a human edits rather than starts from scratch.

The output is "first draft," not "publish-ready." Quality drops sharply outside English.

3.4 What does Breeze Social Media Agent do?

Social Media Agent is the AI social manager.

What it does: Analyzes your past social performance, brand voice, audience and industry trends.

Then it generates platform-specific post suggestions for Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Instagram — with recommended publish times.

Every suggestion is human-approve-before-publish.

Where it lives: Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise. Runs on HubSpot Credits (10 credits per prompt per third-party documentation).

The critical limitation:

"Breeze social media agent is fully optimized for English only. We recommend using English to ensure the most accurate results." — HubSpot product page, verbatim.

For non-English brands, the Social Media Agent is a planning and ideation tool today — not a localized copywriter.

3.5 What does Breeze Knowledge Base Agent do?

Knowledge Base Agent is the AI documentation team.

What it does: Reads your closed tickets, chats, calls and emails.

Then it identifies questions your team answers repeatedly that don't exist as KB articles — and drafts new articles in your voice.

It works in lockstep with Customer Agent. When Customer Agent flags an "unanswered question," Knowledge Base Agent drafts the article that closes the gap.

Articles are reviewed and published manually.

Where it lives: Service Hub Professional and Enterprise. Requires an active Customer Agent subscription — these two are explicitly designed as a pair.

Languages: Supports all HubSpot-supported languages.

3.6 What does Breeze Data Agent do?

Data Agent is the AI researcher.

What it does: Answers custom, natural-language business questions about your customers by combining CRM data, call/email transcripts, uploaded documents and the open web.

Useful examples HubSpot promotes:

• "Does this company have a sales team?"
• "Are they in a buying cycle?"
• "Which enterprise customers have the lowest product engagement this quarter?"

Results land directly in Smart CRM, Data Studio and workflows. Can populate Smart Properties.

Where it lives: Starter and above across most Hubs (the broadest availability of any Breeze Agent).

Cost: 10 credits ($0.10) per response — the cheapest agent.

Languages: All HubSpot-supported languages.

What other Breeze Agents are available in beta or marketplace?

HubSpot is iterating quickly. Currently visible:

• Company Research Agent
• Customer Health Agent
• Personalization Agent
• Closing Agent (inside Commerce Hub's CPQ)
• Partner-built agents in Breeze Marketplace

Warning: Beta features may consume credits in the future. HubSpot states it "aims to provide 30 days notice before beta features begin consuming credits, but this may not be possible given the rapid pace of beta development."

4. What is Breeze Intelligence?

Breeze Intelligence is the descendant of Clearbit.

HubSpot acquired Clearbit on December 4, 2023, per HubSpot's official IR press release: "HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE: HUBS) announces today that it has successfully finalized its acquisition of Clearbit, a top B2B data provider."

It does three things.

4.1 How does Breeze Intelligence handle data enrichment?

Breeze Intelligence fills CRM gaps from a dataset of over 200 million company and buyer profiles.

It pulls 40+ firmographic, demographic and technographic attributes:

• Industry
• Employee count
• Annual revenue
• Technologies used
• Location, role, seniority
• And more

The 2025 packaging change matters here: Standard enrichment of basic fields is now free with Core Seats. Only AI-researched custom fields (Smart Properties) and continuous (auto-refresh) enrichment consume credits.

4.2 How does Breeze Intelligence detect buyer intent?

It identifies companies (not individuals) that are visiting your website even when they don't fill in a form.

It combines reverse-IP with Breeze Intelligence's company graph.

You define a target market and the intent signals that matter. High-fit, high-intent accounts get added to your CRM automatically.

4.3 How does Breeze Intelligence shorten forms?

When a known visitor lands on a form, fields that Breeze Intelligence already knows are hidden — leaving only what's missing.

Per Matt Sornson, VP of Product, Breeze Intelligence, in HubSpot's Fall 2024 Spotlight: "One in four people abandon a form because it's too long."

Note: form shortening itself doesn't capture or store data in HubSpot. It's purely a UX optimization at the form layer.

What powers Breeze Intelligence?

HubSpot states the data is "unified from public sources, trusted third-party vendors, and across the internet," with a human QA team reviewing for accuracy and freshness.

The Clearbit data graph is the foundation. HubSpot has added LLM-driven inference on top.

Honest data-quality flag: Reviews on G2 and Reddit consistently note that the underlying data was already imperfect at Clearbit — and Breeze Intelligence inherited those issues, particularly outside the US. Breeze Intelligence does not provide direct phone numbers and is weaker on European firmographics than some specialist providers. Treat it as "good enough native enrichment" rather than a like-for-like ZoomInfo/Apollo replacement.

5. How much does HubSpot Breeze cost?

Here's where most teams get tripped up.

Since June 2025, all Breeze AI features draw from a single shared monthly pool of HubSpot Credits.

Agents, data enrichment, Smart Properties, buyer intent, AI workflow actions — all from the same bucket.

What is your bundled credit allowance?

The allowance is bundled with paid seats:

Two things to know:

1. Credits reset monthly and do NOT roll over.
2. Your allowance is set by your highest-tier subscription across all Hubs (e.g., Marketing Hub Pro + Sales Hub Enterprise = Enterprise allowance).

What do extra HubSpot Credits cost?

From HubSpot's published Product & Services Catalog:

• $10 USD per 1,000-credit capacity pack (roughly $9 per 1,000 on annual commitment)
• $0.010 per credit on pay-as-you-go overage, invoiced in 10-credit increments

What is the biggest "gotcha" in Breeze pricing?

Two overage settings exist:

• Auto-Upgrade (default): HubSpot automatically buys you another 1,000-pack — and you're locked into that higher tier for the rest of the contract term.
• Pay-as-you-go overages: Extra credits at the published rate. No tier upgrade. Downgrade at end of term.

Pro Tip: Turn off Auto-Upgrade and set a credit limit before you let any agent run unsupervised. This is the single biggest pricing trap in Breeze.

What does each Breeze feature cost in credits?

Which Hub tier unlocks which Breeze feature?

What do the underlying HubSpot Hubs cost?

Indicative list pricing for the Hubs most relevant to Breeze (USD; EUR tracks nearly 1:1):

• Core Seat: $20/seat/month (Starter) → $50 (Pro) → $75 (Enterprise). All Core Seats price at the level of your highest Hub tier.
• Sales Hub Professional: from $100/Sales Seat/month; Enterprise from $150/Sales Seat/month
• Marketing Hub Professional: from $800/month bundled; Enterprise from ~$3,300/month
• Service Hub Professional: ~$90/Service Seat/month; Enterprise from $150/Service Seat/month
• Content Hub Professional: from $450/month; Enterprise from $1,500/month
• Plus a one-time onboarding fee ($1,400–$7,000 depending on Hub and tier — can be waived via a certified Solutions Partner like Superwork).

Note: HubSpot stopped publishing a standalone Breeze Intelligence price page. The URL hubspot.com/pricing/breeze-intelligence now redirects to the HubSpot Credits management docs. Third-party references to legacy $45-per-100-credits packs or $5,000 backfill enrichment fees are no longer reflected on HubSpot's official sources as of May 2026. Get current pricing from your account team or the in-app credits page.

6. What are the biggest limitations of HubSpot Breeze?

We love Breeze. But you should know what you're walking into.

Why is the shared credit pool a budgeting hazard?

Customer Agent, Prospecting Agent, Data Agent, Smart Properties and buyer intent all draw from the same monthly bucket.

A spike in sales prospecting will starve customer support — and vice versa.

Set a maximum credit limit in account settings on day one. Disable Auto-Upgrade unless you genuinely want the per-contract tier escalation.

Do unused HubSpot Credits roll over?

No.

No rollover. Period.

Buying a large pack to handle a one-time spike means paying for credits you'll lose at month-end.

Why is the Social Media Agent English-only?

This is verbatim from HubSpot's product page. HubSpot hasn't published a date for multilingual support.

For non-English brands, you can still use it for strategy, analytics and idea generation — but localized post copy needs a human or a separate tool.

What knowledge sources can Breeze actually read?

Just these:

• HubSpot KB articles
• Uploaded files
• Public URLs
• CRM data
• Knowledge Vaults (beta)

That's it.

Notion, Confluence, Google Drive and external help desks (Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk) are not first-class sources.

If your documentation lives elsewhere, you either migrate it into HubSpot or accept degraded answers.

Can you give Breeze Customer Agent custom instructions?

No.

You cannot tell it to:

• Promote an offer
• Ask a qualifying question
• Follow a script

Its behavior is bounded entirely by its knowledge sources. Thin KB = thin agent.

How good is Breeze Intelligence's underlying data?

Inherited, not perfect.

Breeze Intelligence runs on the Clearbit data graph.

Clearbit had documented accuracy issues on G2 and Reddit — especially outside the US. Breeze Intelligence provides no direct phone numbers.

Treat it as good native enrichment, not a complete prospecting database.

Does HubSpot use your data to train its AI?

Yes — by default, with an opt-out.

HubSpot's AI terms permit use of interaction data to train and improve its AI models, subject to opt-out configuration.

Beta features may begin consuming credits with "30 days notice where possible." Read: not guaranteed.

Review your AI settings and the model cards before scaling.

Does Breeze fully honor EU data residency?

Not for AI inference.

HubSpot offers EU data hosting in Frankfurt, but AI inference workloads may transit US infrastructure.

For organizations under sector-specific data sovereignty obligations, this requires a documented review with your legal team. HubSpot publishes its sub-processor list and Data Processing Addendum, and Breeze does not process PHI, financial account or biometric data even if those fields exist in your CRM.

Are outcome-based pricing definitions negotiable?

No.

"Resolved" and "qualified" are defined by HubSpot.

A conversation handed to a human counts as not-resolved (which is good). A lead surfaced from spam-grade signals still counts as qualified (which is less good).

Watch your "resolved" rate and the quality of leads you're billed for during the 28-day trial.

What matters more — implementation discipline or agent selection?

Implementation discipline. By a wide margin.

Across G2, Reddit and Solutions Partner accounts, one observation comes up again and again:

Messy CRMs make Breeze look bad.

Standardize properties. Deduplicate. Configure handoff rules. Pilot with a single high-value workflow before activating multiple agents.

7. How should you roll out HubSpot Breeze?

Here's exactly how we tell clients to roll out Breeze.

What should you do if you're on Free or Starter?

Start with Breeze Assistant.

It's free, low-risk, and gives you a working sense of how Breeze grounds itself in your CRM data.

If you also activate Data Agent (Starter and above), you'll see what credit-billed agents feel like before committing to higher-tier Hubs.

What should you do if you're on Professional or Enterprise?

Deploy in this order:

1. Customer Agent + Knowledge Base Agent. If your support team is overloaded or you need 24/7 coverage. The 28-day free trial removes the risk and outcome-based pricing aligns spend with deflection.

2. Prospecting Agent. If your SDRs spend more than 30% of their time on research and list-building. Same trial mechanic.

3. Data Agent. If your reps lack pre-call context. It's the cheapest agent ($0.10 per response) and the most broadly available.

4. Content Agent and Social Media Agent. When your marketing team has an editor available to polish first drafts. (Remember: Social Media Agent is English-only.)

What credit guardrails should you set first?

Before activating any agent:

• Set a monthly credit limit below your purchased pack
• Turn Auto-Upgrade off
• Turn Pay-as-you-go overage on
• Schedule a weekly usage review for the first month

When should you re-evaluate?

• Customer Agent resolution rate below ~40% after 60 days? Fix your knowledge base, not the agent.
• Prospecting Agent "qualified leads" converting below your human-sourced benchmark? Narrow the ICP and selling profile before adding budget.
• Monthly credit consumption exceeding 2× your bundled allowance for three months running? Negotiate a higher-tier credit pack on annual commitment ($9 per 1,000 vs $10).

8. Frequently asked questions

What is HubSpot Breeze?

HubSpot Breeze is HubSpot's AI suite. It includes three layers: Breeze Assistant (a free conversational helper), Breeze Agents (autonomous, credit-billed teammates that run multi-step workflows like support resolution and sales prospecting), and Breeze Intelligence (the Clearbit-derived data enrichment, buyer intent and form-shortening layer).

Is HubSpot Breeze free?

Breeze Assistant is free on every HubSpot plan, including the free CRM. Breeze Agents and most Breeze Intelligence features require a paid Hub subscription and consume HubSpot Credits — though standard firmographic data enrichment is now free with Core Seats since the 2025 packaging update.

How much does HubSpot Breeze cost?

Breeze pricing is hybrid. Paid seats unlock the features. HubSpot Credits meter the usage. Every Starter+ subscription includes a monthly credit allowance (500 Starter / 3,000 Professional / 5,000 Enterprise on most Hubs). Additional credits cost $10 per 1,000. Two flagship agents use outcome-based pricing: $0.50 per resolved Customer Agent conversation and $1 per Prospecting Agent qualified lead.

What is the difference between Breeze Assistant and Breeze Agents?

Breeze Assistant is conversational. It responds to your prompts, summarizes records, drafts content, and pulls quick reports — synchronously, when you ask. It's free. Breeze Agents are autonomous. They run multi-step workflows in the background (resolving support tickets, identifying prospects, drafting outreach, generating KB articles) and bill via HubSpot Credits.

What languages does HubSpot Breeze support?

Customer Agent, Knowledge Base Agent and Data Agent support all HubSpot-supported languages. The Social Media Agent is English-only, per HubSpot's product page. Content Agent works in multiple languages but quality drops sharply outside English.

What is Breeze Intelligence?

Breeze Intelligence is HubSpot's data layer, built on the Clearbit data graph HubSpot acquired in December 2023. It provides data enrichment (40+ firmographic, demographic and technographic attributes across 200M+ profiles), buyer intent (identifies companies visiting your site even if they don't fill in a form), and form shortening (hides fields you already know about for known visitors).

What happened to ChatSpot and Breeze Copilot?

Both brands were retired. ChatSpot was rolled into Breeze when the umbrella brand launched. Breeze Copilot was retired at INBOUND 2025 — its functionality was absorbed into Breeze Assistant. There is no longer a separate Copilot product to evaluate.

Are HubSpot Credits the same as Breeze Intelligence Credits?

Not anymore. Between 2 and 15 June 2025, the separate "Breeze Intelligence Credits" packs (100/1,000/10,000) were retired and migrated into the unified HubSpot Credits system. Every Breeze feature — agents, enrichment, Smart Properties, buyer intent — now draws from the same monthly credit pool.

Can I customize Breeze Customer Agent's responses?

No — not in the way you might expect. There are no custom instructions to tell the Customer Agent to upsell, ask qualifying questions or follow a script. Its behavior is bounded by its knowledge sources (your HubSpot KB, public URLs up to 1,000 pages, uploaded PDFs and CRM data). If you need scripted behavior, you'd customize a different agent in Breeze Studio.

Do HubSpot Credits roll over month to month?

No. Unused HubSpot Credits expire at the end of each month. They do not roll over. Buying a large credit pack to handle a one-time spike means paying for credits you'll lose at month-end.

Is Breeze Customer Agent worth it?

Per HubSpot's April 2, 2026 company news announcement: "Breeze Customer Agent already resolves 65% of conversations and cuts resolution time by 39%, across more than 8,000 customers who have activated it." Outcome-based pricing ($0.50 per resolved conversation) plus a 28-day free trial makes it low-risk to test on your own data. The biggest determinant of success is the quality of your underlying knowledge base.

A quick note on the caveats

This article reflects HubSpot Breeze as of May 2026.

Outcome-based pricing has only existed since 14 April 2026. Audit Cards since January 2026. The unified HubSpot Credits system since June 2025.

Three of the most-cited Breeze features are less than a year old.

HubSpot is iterating on credit rates, agent rosters and beta-to-GA promotions on roughly a quarterly cadence. Expect at least one specific figure in this article (typically a beta agent or a credit allowance) to shift within 12 months.

The structural picture is stable. Assistant + Agents + Intelligence, credit-metered, Smart CRM-grounded, English-first.

The line items are not.

HubSpot's published performance numbers (65% resolution rate, 39% faster resolutions, 10% lift in close rates, 57% QoQ activation growth, 8,000+ Customer Agent customers, 200M+ profiles in Breeze Intelligence) are vendor figures rather than independently audited. Treat them as directional. The 28-day free trial on Customer Agent and Prospecting Agent is the cleanest way to validate against your own data.

Several third-party numbers commonly cited in market commentary — including specific 100/1,000/10,000-credit Breeze Intelligence pack prices and a $5,000 backfill enrichment fee — are no longer reflected on HubSpot's own pricing pages following the credit unification. Verify any Breeze Intelligence-specific pricing with your HubSpot account team rather than secondary sources.
