By [Gaby Salinas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gbyslns) Updated October 21, 2026 # min read TL;DR - A good fit starts with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Nimble, Google Contacts or spreadsheets. - Teams that want to decide how duplicates are matched and merged need a tool that lets them. - Duplicates that keep arriving from forms, imports and integrations call for scheduled matching and merging. - Agencies and consultants do best with every client's cleanup in one partner account. - Connecting your own CRM to Dedupely shows how well it fits your data and your team. Picking a deduplication tool is a decision about your data, and also about how your team works. Who decides what a duplicate is, and how often do new ones arrive? How many records, and how many CRMs, are involved? Dedupely is a deduplication system for CRMs and spreadsheets. It works best for teams whose answers to those questions look a certain way. In this post, you'll see the five kinds of teams that get the most out of Dedupely, and what each one uses it for. You'll also see what working with Dedupely looks like day to day, so you can picture your own team in it. ### Are you good for Dedupely? We usually hear the question the other way around. So here's a quick, slightly cheeky check. The more of these sound like your team, the better the match. - Your CRM is HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Nimble or Google Contacts, or your data lives in spreadsheets. - You have opinions about which record should survive a merge, and which values it should keep. - You merged a batch of duplicates once, and new ones showed up anyway. - You look after more than one CRM, either your own or your clients'. - Your database is big enough that merging by hand stopped being an option. If you nodded at a few, the sections below are about you. ### Teams on one of Dedupely's seven integrations Dedupely connects to six CRMs and treats spreadsheets as the seventh integration. That covers HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Nimble and Google Contacts, plus any CSV file with a header row. Dedupely works with every plan of each supported CRM, including HubSpot's Free tier and every Salesforce edition, even free ones. Each CRM merges a little differently, and Dedupely follows each one's own merge behavior, from record IDs to what moves to the surviving record. Teams with several CRMs can connect them all to one Dedupely account. That includes several accounts of the same CRM, like three HubSpot portals. Each connected CRM keeps its own searches, rules and history. If you sync HubSpot and Salesforce, Dedupely merges a synced pair in both CRMs at once. ### Teams that want control over matching and merging What counts as a duplicate is case by case. Two branches of one company can be one account for marketing and two territories for sales. Dedupely is built for teams that want to make that call themselves. #### Matching your way Every field in a duplicate search gets its own match option, from exact values to typos, sound-alike names and the core of a domain. Preset searches are ready the first time you log in, and every search shows its number of matches and the records in them. Teams that would rather skip the setup can start with Dedupely Intelligence. This AI-powered matching finds complex duplicate patterns on contacts, companies and leads with no settings. The AI designs the matching logic, which runs as deterministic code on Dedupely's infrastructure. Your CRM data never goes to external AI models, and rejected matches don't train it. #### Merging your way You set rules for which record survives and which value wins in each field, or let your CRM's own merge logic decide. You preview each merge, reject false matches so they don't come back and send unclear sets to review. Safety settings are on by default. They hold back risky matches, like sets with more than 20 records or placeholder data such as test@test.com. Our post on [why matching and merging are separate decisions](https://dedupe.ly/blog/matching-vs-merging-duplicates) explains why both deserve their own choices. ### Teams whose duplicates keep coming back A one-time cleanup feels great for about a week. Then the next import, form or integration adds new duplicates, and the count climbs again. Dedupely refreshes your data automatically and sees new records within minutes. You can get an email when a search reaches a number of new matches you set. Once your rules are tested, you can merge new duplicates you're certain of, like exact email matches, automatically on a schedule. Example Some teams see 20 to 30 new duplicates a day from sign-ups, inbound leads and records added by hand. That's more than one person can merge by hand. A setup that works well there: merge the matches you're certain of automatically, and check the looser searches by hand every week or two. Our post on [catching duplicates at entry vs. on a schedule](https://dedupe.ly/blog/catch-duplicates-at-entry-vs-schedule) covers how the two approaches work together. ### Agencies, consultants and partners Agencies and consultants often clean several client CRMs at once, each with its own idea of a duplicate. The [Dedupely partner program](https://dedupe.ly/become-a-partner) puts every client in one account. Each client gets its own company, searches and rules. You connect each client's CRM yourself, so you're the admin of that client's instance. If you want a client involved, you can add them as an Admin or a User. Your whole team can work in the account, with no per-user fees, and a partner team supports each client project with calls, chat and email. If you'd rather recommend Dedupely than run the cleanups yourself, there's an [affiliate program](https://affiliates.dedupe.ly/) too. Our post on [CRM deduplication for consultants and agencies](https://dedupe.ly/blog/crm-deduplication-for-consultants-and-agencies) covers the client side of the work. ### Teams with large databases Size changes the job. A few hundred duplicates can be merged by hand, while tens of thousands need bulk merges you can trust. One Dedupely customer has synced over 18 million records. Bulk merging a few thousand matches takes minutes, and you can stop a running bulk merge at any time. The first sync takes minutes for most databases and longer for the largest ones. Your CRM's API limits can make it take longer. Salesforce teams can connect a Sandbox to test searches and rules before touching production. Larger companies often run a security review before connecting a CRM. The [Dedupely Trust Center](https://dedupe.ly/trust) covers how Dedupely handles security and data. Our post on [what security teams ask about a deduplication tool](https://dedupe.ly/blog/security-review-deduplication-tool) covers the usual questions. ### What working with Dedupely looks like Connecting and syncing only read your data, and nothing merges until you say so. Every merge is recorded in Merge History with the original values, which you can download as a CSV. ~~Merges can't be undone: they happen directly in your CRM, and most CRMs can't undo them either.~~ Most merges can be undone for 30 days, but undo is for records that weren't duplicates, so treat every merge as permanent. That's why previews, rejected matches and safety settings sit in front of every merge. See [how to undo a merge](https://dedupe.ly/knowledge-base/undo-a-merge). Onboarding and support come with every plan and the trial, with unlimited Zoom calls, chat and email. Dedupely's support team can also go into your account to see how you're doing and help. Pricing is based on the total records in the objects you choose to sync, and the [pricing page](https://dedupe.ly/pricing) has the details. ### How to find out if Dedupely fits your team Connect your CRM or upload a spreadsheet, and Dedupely's preset searches show how many matches and records they find. Preview a few merges with your own rules and talk through your edge cases on an onboarding call.

Think of teams that want a say in every match and merge, agencies with many clients and databases too big to merge by hand. A checklist only goes so far, though. Your own duplicates, matched and previewed with your own rules, are the clearest answer to whether you're good for Dedupely. ### Frequently asked questions #### Which CRMs does Dedupely work with? Dedupely works with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Nimble and Google Contacts, and with spreadsheets as a seventh integration. It works with every plan of each supported CRM, including HubSpot's Free tier and every Salesforce edition, even free ones. You can connect several CRMs, or several accounts of the same CRM, to one Dedupely account. #### Can I use Dedupely with more than one CRM? Yes, you can connect as many CRMs as you need to one account, and each keeps its own searches, rules and Merge History. Dedupely matches records within each CRM. The one exception is a synced HubSpot–Salesforce pair, which Dedupely merges in both CRMs at once. #### Is Dedupely good for agencies and consultants? Yes, the partner program puts every client in one Dedupely account. You connect each client's CRM yourself, and each client's searches and rules stay separate. Clients can be added as an Admin or a User if you want them involved. A partner team supports each project, and an affiliate program suits those who'd rather recommend Dedupely. #### Can Dedupely handle large CRM databases? Yes, one customer has synced over 18 million records, and bulk merging a few thousand matches takes minutes. The first sync takes longer for the largest databases, and your CRM's API limits can add to that. After that, Dedupely refreshes your data automatically. #### How is Dedupely priced? Dedupely is priced by the total number of records in the CRM objects you choose to sync, added up across every connected CRM. Spreadsheet records don't count toward that total. Paying yearly saves you 20% compared to paying monthly, and the pricing page lists every plan and its record limit. Behind the article ### Gaby Salinas Marketing Assistant at Dedupely Gaby Salinas came to CRM data from marketing and advertising, so she looks at duplicates from two sides: the match and merge logic behind them, and what they do to the people using the CRM, like the rep who calls a customer twice, the admin who gets blamed and the cleanup nobody wants to start. As Marketing Assistant at Dedupely, she follows how RevOps teams, end users, consultants and technical teams actually work with their data: the records they stop trusting, the workarounds they build and the moment they finally decide to clean up. What she finds shapes most of what Dedupely publishes.
