Comparison
Lumenbase vs NetHunt: which CRM fits your team?
NetHunt and Lumenbase both help small B2B teams run a pipeline, but they live in different places. NetHunt runs inside Gmail, so your records, pipelines, and workflows show up right next to your inbox, which Gmail-first teams love. Lumenbase is a standalone CRM with a full funnel, a Lumo briefing, browser meeting recording, and a post-sale Accounts view. It connects to your email instead of living inside it.
Quick verdict
When each one wins
Lumenbase is better if
- Lumo writes a morning briefing on who to contact and why, with a draft you can send or skip
- A dedicated Lead Development (MOFU) stage that sits between contacts and forecasted deals
- Meeting recording from your browser on Meet, Teams, and Zoom, with the transcript and a Lumo summary on the contact timeline
- You want a standalone CRM that doesn’t depend on living inside Gmail
- You want post-sale Accounts tracking and invoicing in the same product
- Use it the way you like: the web app, Lumo chat, Claude over MCP, OpenClaw, or the REST API
NetHunt is better if
- Your team works inside Gmail all day and wants the CRM right there in the inbox
- You want Gmail-native email tracking, templates, and sequences next to your messages
- You want a light CRM that mirrors how your team already works in Google Workspace
- You prefer a familiar inbox UI over learning a separate app

Lumenbase vs NetHunt: feature by feature
Where the CRM lives
NetHunt’s big draw is that it runs inside Gmail, so records and pipelines sit next to your messages. That’s great for Gmail-first teams. Lumenbase is a standalone app that syncs Gmail and Outlook email and calendar in, so you still get auto-logging without tying the whole CRM to one inbox.
AI and workflow
Lumenbase opens to a Lumo briefing of who needs attention, with drafted outreach to approve, plus a Lead Development stage and post-sale Accounts. NetHunt’s prioritization is rules-based (task digests, open and click tracking) rather than an AI briefing, and it has no native AI writer.
Automation and pricing
Both charge per seat and publish their prices. NetHunt’s Workflows, reports, and API all unlock on its Business plan. Lumenbase adds meeting capture, a LinkedIn extension, invoicing, and MCP and REST access for agent workflows. Check current NetHunt limits on their site.
Where each may not be the best fit
Lumenbase may not fit if…
- Teams whose whole workflow is the Gmail inbox and who want the CRM embedded there
- Teams that specifically want a Google Workspace-native experience above all
NetHunt may not fit if…
- Teams who want a morning AI briefing and contact prioritization
- Teams who need a dedicated MOFU stage and a post-sale accounts view
- Teams who want browser meeting recording and invoicing in the same tool
Which should you choose?
Pick Lumenbase if you want a standalone, AI-native CRM with a full funnel, a Lumo briefing, meeting capture, and accounts, connected to Gmail and Outlook instead of living inside one inbox.
Pick NetHunt if your team lives in Gmail and you want a light CRM embedded right in the inbox, matching how you already work in Google Workspace.
