BigTime Alternatives
PSOhub vs BigTime: the HubSpot-native PSA compared
PSOhub and BigTime are both professional services automation (PSA) platforms that unify projects, time, and billing. The core difference: PSOhub is built for HubSpot, while BigTime is a QuickBooks-first PSA that connects to HubSpot through a one-way deal-to-project connector. If HubSpot is your CRM, PSOhub keeps sales and delivery in one system, adds agentic AI that drafts plans and invoices, and has no minimum seat count. If your operations run on QuickBooks or Sage Intacct and finance is your center of gravity, BigTime is a strong, accounting-first choice.
Three reasons HubSpot teams choose PSOhub over BigTime
1. Built for HubSpot, not a one-way import. A closed HubSpot deal creates a project automatically, time flows back to the deal, and you can track time on HubSpot tickets. BigTime's HubSpot app imports a deal at a chosen lifecycle stage to create a project inside BigTime, then delivery, time, and billing live in BigTime, which is built around QuickBooks and Salesforce.
2. Agentic AI that does the work. PSOhub drafts project plans, reschedules resources, and prepares invoices, with a human approving each step. BigTime's AI, branded Foresight, plus its in-product assistant, forecasts demand and surfaces insights, but it reports rather than acts.
3. AI capacity planning and completion management. You always see live workload per person, the AI reschedules when priorities move, and completion management makes real project margin visible while the work is happening. BigTime has resource management and forecasting on its higher tiers, but no agentic rescheduling and no completion-to-margin model.
For teams that run on HubSpot, PSOhub is the stronger choice. For a QuickBooks-first, finance-heavy firm, BigTime is worth a look.
Choose PSOhub if HubSpot is your CRM and you want projects, capacity, time, and billing connected to your deals, with agentic AI and no minimum seat count.
Choose BigTime if your operations center on QuickBooks or Sage Intacct and you want a long-established, finance-first PSA, and you are comfortable with annual billing.

What is the difference between PSOhub and BigTime?
Both replace the spreadsheet, timer, and invoicing patchwork with one operational backbone. The difference is the center of gravity.
BigTime is a long-established PSA based in Chicago, with more than 20 years behind it and over 2,800 customers. It is built around accounting: its QuickBooks and Sage Intacct integrations are a core strength, and it is a favorite of finance-heavy firms such as accountants, architects, engineers, and IT services. It connects to a CRM, usually Salesforce or HubSpot, on the edge.
PSOhub treats HubSpot as the system of record for commercial data, then extends HubSpot from funnel to cash. Projects, resource planning, time tracking, and billing run in PSOhub while staying connected to the HubSpot deal, company, and ticket records your team already uses.
How do PSOhub and BigTime integrate with HubSpot?
This is the clearest dividing line. BigTime offers an official HubSpot app, but it is a one-way connector. When a HubSpot deal reaches a chosen lifecycle stage, BigTime creates a project and imports the deal, company, and contact details into BigTime. From there, delivery, time, and billing live inside BigTime, which is really built around QuickBooks and Salesforce. On the Marketplace the BigTime app shows around 100 installs and no reviews yet, and it requires a BigTime subscription.
PSOhub is a purpose-built HubSpot PSA, not an import connector. A closed deal creates a project automatically, with scope and billing terms intact. Time logged on the project flows back to the HubSpot deal, and your team can track time on HubSpot tickets. Project and invoice details appear in the HubSpot activity feed, and PSOhub Insights surfaces project data inside HubSpot. PSOhub's HubSpot integration carries 600+ installs, 50+ reviews, and a 4.5-star rating.
Which has better resource and capacity planning?
BigTime includes resource management, utilization tracking, and a Demand Coverage Report, with AI forecasting through BigTime Foresight, mostly on its higher Premier tier. Reviewers rate BigTime well for utilization and profitability visibility.
PSOhub adds AI to the planning itself. Smart planning suggests who should work on what and when, and the AI reschedules when priorities move. A live resource capacity overview means you always know the workload per person, so you can catch someone running at 110 percent before it becomes an overrun rather than after.
What is completion management and why does it matter?
Completion management ties the real state of the work to the money. You only know the true financial performance of a project when you know how far along it actually is. By linking completion to hours, budget, and billing in one data model, PSOhub makes real project margin visible while the project is running, not weeks later at invoicing. It is one of the clearest capabilities PSOhub has that BigTime does not offer in the same form.
Agentic AI vs AI insights: how do they compare?
Both platforms use AI. BigTime's AI, branded Foresight, plus an in-product assistant, forecasts demand, surfaces utilization and profitability insights, and answers questions about your data. PSOhub matches that on reporting, and you can connect your own LLM, whether that is ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity, to pull any report yourself. Reporting is not a reason to pick one over the other.
The difference is what the AI does next. BigTime's AI tells you things. PSOhub's agentic AI does the work: it drafts a project plan from the deal in seconds, suggests and reschedules a resource plan, flags margin drift before it costs you, and prepares the invoice. A human always approves, so judgment stays with your team.
How do pricing and onboarding compare?
PSOhub pricing is per user per month, billed yearly: €25 for Essentials, €35 for Professional and €45 for Enterprise. Every plan includes time tracking, project management, and billing, there is no minimum seat count, and you can start with a free trial.
BigTime pricing is per user per month, billed annually: $20 for Essentials, $35 for Advanced, $45 for Premier, and Projector from $60 for multi-entity teams. Two things to weigh: BigTime does not offer a free trial, and the pieces many HubSpot teams want, such as the HubSpot and Salesforce integrations and client portals, sit on the Advanced tier and up, with resource management on Premier. BigTime does include onboarding and training, and it is the highest-rated PSA on G2 for customer satisfaction, so support is a genuine strength.
Onboarding. Both include onboarding. PSOhub adds guided onboarding and real human support with no minimum seat count and no annual commitment required to try it.
How do you switch from BigTime to PSOhub?
Moving from BigTime to PSOhub is straightforward, especially for a team already on HubSpot. A typical switch looks like this:
- Connect PSOhub to HubSpot. Install the HubSpot-certified app so deals, companies, and contacts are in place from day one.
- Keep your accounting. PSOhub connects to accounting tools including QuickBooks and Xero, so you do not lose the finance link that made BigTime useful.
- Import your data. Bring across clients, projects, rates, and open invoices with guided data migration.
- Map your workflow. Set up deal-to-project automation, time tracking, and billing rules to match how your team delivers.
- Onboard the team. Guided onboarding and human support get everyone live, usually in days to a few weeks.
Because PSOhub runs inside HubSpot, sales and delivery share one record, so there is no separate CRM sync to maintain.
When is BigTime the better choice?
An honest comparison names where the other tool is strong. BigTime is a genuinely good platform, and it can be the right call when:
- Your operations center on QuickBooks or Sage Intacct, and you want a PSA built around that accounting core. BigTime's QuickBooks sync is a standout.
- You use Salesforce, or HubSpot is not your primary CRM.
- You are a finance-heavy firm such as an accounting, architecture and engineering, or IT services business that prioritizes time tracking, billing, and invoicing depth. BigTime is the number one rated PSA on G2 for customer satisfaction, with 4.5 stars across more than 1,800 reviews.
Who should choose PSOhub?
- HubSpot is your CRM and you want sales and delivery in one connected flow.
- You want to track time on HubSpot tickets and see project and invoice data inside HubSpot.
- You want AI that acts, not just AI that reports.
- You want live workload per resource and AI rescheduling when priorities shift.
- You want a real project margin visible while work is happening, through completion management.
- You want guided onboarding, human support, a free trial, and no minimum seat count.
