Dedupely is a focused deduplication tool starting at $19/month. If your only problem is duplicate contacts and companies, and you have someone to run the merges, Dedupely is good value.
CleanupCRM handles duplicates plus enrichment gaps, invalid emails, broken lifecycle stages, bad integrations, and root causes — with AI-proposed changes and approval workflows. It also offers a done-for-you service for teams without RevOps capacity.
If duplicates are your only issue: Dedupely. If duplicates are a symptom of broader data quality problems: CleanupCRM.

What Dedupely does — and what it doesn't
Dedupely is honest about its scope. It's a deduplication tool. It finds duplicate contacts and companies using rule-based matching, surfaces them for review, and merges them. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive. It starts at $19/month for up to 30,000 records with all features included.
That's a strong product for a specific problem.
What it doesn't do: email verification, contact enrichment, lifecycle stage corrections, integration audits, root-cause analysis. If your CRM has duplicates plus bad emails, missing job titles, and broken lifecycle stages — Dedupely addresses one of those things.
The "fix vs prevent" distinction
Here's where the comparison gets more interesting.
Dedupely finds and merges existing duplicates. It runs continuously and catches new ones. That's valuable ongoing maintenance.
But if the same duplicates keep appearing after cleanup, the problem is upstream. A broken integration. A web form without dedup rules. A CSV import process without validation. A sales rep entering contacts manually without checking for existing records.
Dedupely fixes the symptom — the existing duplicates. CleanupCRM traces where duplicates are coming from and fixes the source, so the problem stops rather than being continuously managed.
If your CRM creates 500 duplicate contacts per month from a broken HubSpot form integration, Dedupely will keep merging them. CleanupCRM identifies the form, diagnoses why it's creating duplicates, and fixes the integration — so those 500 duplicates stop being created.

Pricing: honest comparison
Dedupely at $19/month is genuinely hard to beat for pure deduplication. Unlimited users, all features, up to 30,000 records. If you're a small team that just needs duplicates handled, there's no reason to pay more.
CleanupCRM is project-based — audit from $1,500, cleanup sprint from $2,500. Higher upfront cost, but a different scope of work. One-time deep cleanup vs ongoing subscription maintenance.
The question isn't which is cheaper. It's which matches your problem.
