A new chapter: Learnings from building a free enrichment tool for 1,000+ HubSpot teams

A year ago AccountScout started as a weekend project — a free replacement for HubSpot's soon-to-be-sunset Company Insights. Today, 1,000+ teams have used it to enrich more than 3.3 million companies in HubSpot.

I've loved building AccountScout to fill a gap for the HubSpot ecosystem, but the hard reality is that providing a free enrichment product as a solo founder is no longer sustainable.

As a result the free tier of AccountScout will officially shut down on April 12, 2026.

Here's what that means for existing free users:

1. Your enriched data isn't going anywhere. Every property AccountScout has written to your HubSpot portal is yours. Nothing changes, nothing gets deleted.
2. Automatic enrichment will stop running April 12th. New company records created after that date won't be enriched automatically and the AccountScout UI card will no longer be available.
3. If you want to keep enrichment running. I'll be offering a limited number of custom data sprints focused on data hygiene and custom research tailored to your specific requirements.

If this is the kind of work your team needs, book a call or send an email and I'll walk through what a sprint could look like for your specific situation.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm here to help with the transition any way I can.

And most of all, thank you. Seeing so many companies in the HubSpot ecosystem use AccountScout has meant a lot 🧡
