Where they pull apart

Dedupe.ly

Stands out: Every plan includes the full feature set: unlimited matching and merging, unlimited users, unlimited integrations across HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, and field-level merge rules.

Watch out: Price steps up when synced records cross the plan cap. Dedupely bills on records in the CRM, not on how many duplicates you actually merge.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies not on HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive
  • Very small CRMs that will not use most of a 30,000-record plan

Hunter

Stands out: The default finder API, with MCP and a widely used free Chrome extension.

Watch out: Built around work email, so it is not a mobile-number product.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need mobiles as the core product
  • Buyers who want a sequencer in the same login

Pros and cons

Dedupe.ly

  • Unlimited users and merges on every plan
  • Native HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive

Hunter

  • Public $49 monthly Starter, cheaper annually
  • Free browser extensions
