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. Gmail-first teams love that. Lumenbase is a standalone CRM with the whole funnel, always-on Lumo, browser meeting recording, and an Accounts view for after the sale. It links to your email instead of living inside it.
Quick verdict
When each one wins
Lumenbase is better if
- Lumo is always on. It tells you who to contact and why, and gives you a draft to send or skip
- You want a Lead Development stage that sits between contacts and deals you forecast
- You can record meetings from your browser on Meet, Teams, and Zoom. You get the transcript and a Lumo summary on the contact timeline
- You want a standalone CRM that doesn’t need to live inside Gmail
- You want to track accounts after the sale and send invoices in the same app
- Use the web app, Lumo chat, Claude over MCP, agent frameworks such as OpenClaw and Hermes, 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-built 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 like a familiar inbox 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, but the whole CRM isn’t tied to one inbox.
AI and workflow
Lumenbase keeps a live Lumo read on who needs attention, with drafts to approve, plus a Lead Development stage and Accounts for after the sale. NetHunt picks who to contact with rules (task digests, open and click tracking), not always-on AI, and it has no built-in AI writer.
Automation and pricing
Both charge per seat and show their prices. NetHunt’s Workflows, advanced reports, and its REST API and MCP server all unlock on its Business plan. Lumenbase adds meeting capture, a LinkedIn extension, invoicing, and MCP and REST access at the plan you start on. 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 built into it
- Teams who really want a Google Workspace-built feel above all
NetHunt may not fit if…
- Teams who want always-on AI telling them who to contact
- Teams who need a lead stage and an accounts view for after the sale
- Teams who want browser meeting recording and invoices in the same tool
Which should you choose?
Pick Lumenbase if you want a standalone AI CRM with the whole funnel, always-on Lumo, meeting capture, and accounts, linked to Gmail and Outlook instead of living inside one inbox.
Pick NetHunt if your team lives in Gmail and you want a light CRM built right into the inbox, matching how you already work in Google Workspace.
