Lost call notes and history after HubSpot CRM free – need advice on recovery and alternatives

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using the HubSpot CRM free version, and after the 30-day, I noticed that the history associated with my contacts seems to be gone.

Specifically, all the notes I had taken during calls, activity history, and other information I recorded are no longer visible. This is a major issue for me because I relied on those notes to keep track of conversations and follow-ups.

I’m trying to understand:

  • Has anyone been able to recover their notes or activity history after the trial ended?

At this point, I’m also considering moving away from HubSpot and switching to a self-hosted CRM or another alternative where I have full control over my data and don’t risk losing access after a certain period.

If anyone has recommendations for self-hosted CRMs or migration strategies (assuming I can still recover my data), I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!
