The short answer
Editorial assessmentArrows compared with Trumpet
Trumpet is the design-forward option, with more visual customization of the room (they call them pods) and published self-serve pricing including a free tier, which makes it a far easier first purchase for a small team. Arrows is more opinionated and more operational: the plan and the CRM record are the product, not the page design. Choose Trumpet if the buying experience needs to look bespoke and the budget is tight; choose Arrows if RevOps needs room engagement to appear as CRM properties that drive workflows.
Choose Arrows if
B2B sales and customer success teams that already run on HubSpot or Salesforce, sell a considered purchase involving multiple stakeholders, and want the buyer-facing plan and the CRM record to be the same source of truth rather than two systems a rep has to reconcile.
Choose Trumpet if
B2B sales and customer success teams of roughly five to fifty reps running multi-stakeholder deals over weeks rather than days, who want one shared, tracked space per deal and are already on HubSpot or Salesforce.
Side by side
13 attributes| Attribute | Arrows | Trumpet |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Sales Rooms | Sales Rooms |
| Starting price | Not published; the last publicly listed entry point was $500 per month (early 2025) (free trial) | Free for up to 10 Pods; paid plans from $45 per user per month (free plan available) |
| Pricing model | Quote-only subscription as of August 2026. Arrows prices by volume of sales rooms and onboarding plans rather than by seat, so internal and external participants are unlimited and adding reps does not raise the bill. Every plan includes full platform access; the tier structure gates enterprise controls such as SAML SSO, SCIM, and audit logs rather than core room features. Monthly and annual billing are both offered, with a discount for paying annually. | Per user, per month, billed monthly or annually, with annual paid up front at ten times the monthly rate (roughly two months free). A permanently free plan is capped at 10 Pods per account. Capability, not volume, is the axis: e-signature, proposals, and video recording start at Scale, and the AI Copilot plus SSO and SCIM start at Elite. |
| Free plan | No | Unlimited users, 10 Pods per account, mutual action plans, basic analytics, version control, and the integration library |
| Free trial | Free trial with no credit card, covering all products and most business-tier features | No fixed-length public trial is advertised; the free plan (no card required) serves that purpose, with demos arranged for paid tiers |
| Best for | B2B sales and customer success teams that already run on HubSpot or Salesforce, sell a considered purchase involving multiple stakeholders, and want the buyer-facing plan and the CRM record to be the same source of truth rather than two systems a rep has to reconcile. | B2B sales and customer success teams of roughly five to fifty reps running multi-stakeholder deals over weeks rather than days, who want one shared, tracked space per deal and are already on HubSpot or Salesforce. |
| Setup time | A first room can be built the same day the marketplace app is installed. A real rollout takes one to three weeks: designing room templates that match your actual buying process, deciding which Arrows data points map to which CRM properties, and building the workflows that act on room engagement. The template design is the work, not the software. | A first Pod takes under an hour. A team rollout takes one to two weeks: connecting the CRM, building three or four templates per motion, uploading the content library, and agreeing which widgets are mandatory. The templates are the real work, and skipping them is the most common reason a rollout stalls. |
| Learning curve | Low for reps, since room creation runs from the CRM record they already use and the AI provides a draft. Meaningfully higher for the admin or RevOps owner, who has to decide what a good buying process looks like before encoding it into a template. Reviewers frequently note that Arrows forces you to confront a vague process rather than hiding it, which is useful but not effortless. | Low for reps who only fill in a template, moderate for whoever owns the templates and the content library. The widget library is broad enough that discovering what exists takes longer than learning to use any single piece. |

Strengths and limitations
Arrows
Strengths
- The deepest CRM integration in the digital sales room category, endorsed by HubSpot itself, which uses Arrows internally and invested through HubSpot Ventures.
- Rooms are created and maintained from inside the CRM, so adoption does not depend on reps opening another tool.
- AI that assembles the first draft from real deal activity, cutting room creation to a couple of minutes, which is what makes a room-for-every-deal policy realistic.
- No login for buyers, removing the single most common reason sales rooms go unopened.
Limitations
- No published pricing at all as of August 2026; the pricing page is a request form, so buyers cannot self-qualify on budget before booking a demo.
- No free plan, and the last known entry point of $500 per month puts Arrows out of reach of most genuinely small teams in this category.
- Hard dependency on HubSpot or Salesforce. There is no meaningful Pipedrive, Zoho, Attio, or Close support, and most of the product's advantage evaporates without a supported CRM.
- Deeper HubSpot capabilities are gated by HubSpot's own tiers, not just by Arrows: custom object sync needs HubSpot Enterprise, and workflow automation needs a paid Sales or Service Hub.
Trumpet
Strengths
- The widget library is deep and the editor is fast, which is why customization is the most praised thing in user reviews of the product.
- Per-viewer engagement data with new stakeholder detection answers the question a rep actually has: who else is looking, and are they serious.
- Mutual action plans on the free plan, which most competitors gate behind a paid tier.
- Buyers need no account, so adoption on the other side of the deal does not depend on a signup.
Limitations
- Pro caps at five users, so the pricing model forces a jump from $45 to $100 per seat on the sixth hire regardless of feature need.
- E-signature, proposals and quotes, and video recording are all Scale-tier, which makes the advertised entry price misleading for a full deployment.
- SSO and SCIM are Elite-only, an expensive gate for a company whose IT policy simply requires SAML.
- Zapier and Make coverage is thin next to the native CRM connectors, so automation outside HubSpot or Salesforce usually needs custom work.

Judged purely on capability per dollar, Arrows is a mid-market purchase that has drifted away from the small-business end of the market. A $500 per month floor, now hidden behind a form, is real money for a five-person sales team, and several competitors in this category start under $100 per month or offer a free tier. What you are paying for is the integration: the sixty-odd synced data points, workflow triggers, and timeline events mean the room is part of the CRM rather than another tab, and that is the difference between a sales room program that survives a quarter and one that does not. If your team lives in HubSpot and your deals involve four or more stakeholders, the math works quickly. If you are evaluating on price, or your CRM is anything else, it does not.
Trumpet
Per user, per month, billed monthly or annually, with annual paid up front at ten times the monthly rate (roughly two months free). A permanently free plan is capped at 10 Pods per account. Capability, not volume, is the axis: e-signature, proposals, and video recording start at Scale, and the AI Copilot plus SSO and SCIM start at Elite.
- Free$0
- Pro$45
- Scale$100
- Elite$160
For a five-rep team on Scale, roughly $6,000 a year buys the room, the signals, e-signature, and the CRM sync, which is defensible if deals are worth five figures and stall in internal silence. The awkward zone is the middle: Pro is cheap but withholds e-signature and proposals, and its five-user cap means the moment you hire a sixth rep the bill goes from $225 to $600 a month before anyone uses a new feature. Elite at $160 per seat is priced against enterprise sales enablement platforms, and the AI layer there is new enough in 2026 that it should be evaluated in a pilot rather than bought on the datasheet. The free plan is the strongest signal of confidence in the category: it is real, it includes mutual action plans, and it is enough to prove whether your buyers will actually use a room.
Editorial verdict on each
Arrows
Arrows is the digital sales room for teams whose center of gravity is HubSpot, and it earned that position by deleting the parts of itself that were not. The integration is not a checkbox: roughly sixty data points sync back as CRM properties, rooms are built and published from the deal record, and buyer engagement lands on the timeline where a manager already looks. Add AI that drafts the room from call notes and keeps proposing updates, plus no login for buyers, and you get the two behaviors that decide whether a sales room program works at all, namely reps actually creating rooms and buyers actually opening them. The honest caveat is commercial rather than technical. With no published pricing, no free plan, and a last-known floor of $500 per month, Arrows has moved up-market and out of reach for the smallest teams that this directory usually serves; Dock and Trumpet will quote you a number today and start cheaper. If you run HubSpot or Salesforce, sell into buying committees, and have RevOps capacity to design good templates, Arrows is the strongest product in the category. If any of those three are missing, it is the wrong purchase at this price.

Trumpet is the most fully built product in the digital sales room category and, unusually for a category leader, it starts free with mutual action plans included. The widget library is deep, the buyer experience needs no login, and the per-viewer engagement data answers the one question a rep cannot answer any other way: who else is reading this, and do they care. The problems are all in the pricing shape rather than the software. Pro at $45 is a teaser capped at five users with no e-signature or proposals, which means the real product is Scale at $100 per seat, and a SAML requirement pushes you to $160. It remains a young, forty-person, venture-backed company shipping fast, so evaluate the 2026 AI layer in a pilot rather than buying it on the datasheet. Start on the free plan, prove your buyers actually open the room, and budget for Scale from the beginning.
