Where Breakcold and Nethunt CRM actually diverge

The biggest differences

Not a feature list. The structural gaps that drive real switching decisions — written the way Arnaud explains them to prospects.

01Channels

Breakcold is where your prospects actually reply — not just where they used to.

BrBreakcold

Sales in 2026 doesn't happen on email alone. Breakcold treats Email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and meetings as first-class channels — auto-synced, threaded next to the deal, and queryable by your AI agents.

Nethunt CRM

Nethunt CRM doesn't natively support LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Telegram, so every conversation that happens there lives outside your CRM.

02AI native

An AI panel isn't AI. A native MCP is.

BrBreakcold

Breakcold ships 55 native MCP tools so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and 14 other AI clients can actually mutate your CRM — move deals, create tasks, write notes, read multi-channel threads, score leads.

Nethunt CRM

Nethunt CRM keeps AI inside the app — it stops at records and email, and can't read the LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Telegram threads where modern sales conversations actually happen.

03Pricing

Pay for what your team uses — not how many people log in.

BrBreakcold

Breakcold runs on one $59/mo plan. First seat is included, each extra seat is +$10/mo. LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and AI agents aren't add-ons — they're the product.

Nethunt CRM

Nethunt CRM bills $48/seat, so a team of 5 costs $240/mo — that's $1,692/year you don't have to spend.

Pricing math

Built for humans and agents to work together.

One plan. Full power. Pay for usage, not headcount. The biggest problem with legacy CRM pricing is paying for seats AND for integrations AND for enrichment. Here a new seat is $10/mo, not $59/mo.

The honest take

NetHunt is a CRM that lives inside Gmail with a LinkedIn Chrome extension on top. Breakcold has LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, email and calls all syncing on their own into one unified inbox, plus a first party MCP for AI agents. Same simplicity, multichannel by default.

NETHUNT CRM ALTERNATIVE

About NetHunt, the CRM inside your Gmail

NetHunt story

NetHunt CRM was founded in 2015 by Alex Lunkov and Andrei Petrik. The Ukrainian team built the product around a single thesis: most Google Workspace users live inside Gmail anyway, so why force them to leave for a separate CRM tab. The result is a CRM that renders inside the Gmail UI, with deals, contacts and pipelines in the same window as your inbox.

NetHunt also ships a LinkedIn Chrome extension that lets you push profiles into the CRM, plus a phone, WhatsApp and Instagram integration on the higher tiers. The product has matured a lot in the last ten years and earned a loyal base of Gmail heavy small teams.

NetHunt vs Breakcold in 2026

The honest split is the channel model. NetHunt is built around Gmail with extras bolted on. The LinkedIn side runs through a Chrome extension you click to sync, the WhatsApp and Instagram sides are integrations you set up per tier. It works, but the surface is fragmented across the inbox, the extension and the connectors.

Breakcold takes the opposite approach. Email, calls, meetings, LinkedIn, Telegram and WhatsApp all sync on their own into one unified inbox, no extension click required, no per channel setup ritual. Conversations stitch to the right record on their own. You reply from the CRM, the prospect sees the message in their LinkedIn or WhatsApp app, the thread stays in the deal.

The data model and AI angle

NetHunt has solid custom fields and folders inside the Gmail UI. Custom objects, custom relations and a full first party MCP server are not part of the pitch. The AI surface is built around assistant style features inside Gmail, useful for replies and recaps but not full agent control.

Breakcold ships a first party MCP server with 50 plus tools across 17 AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Cowork. Your agent can read a LinkedIn thread, reply on WhatsApp, log a meeting and update the deal in a single run. Custom objects, custom fields and multiple pipelines are default, not an upgrade.

NetHunt pricing vs Breakcold pricing

NetHunt has five tiers, all per seat. Basic at $24, Basic Plus, Business at $48 (the relevant tier for a sales team that wants automation), Business Plus, and Advanced at $96. A 5 person team on NetHunt Business lands at $240 per month, Business Plus is higher, Advanced is $480.

Breakcold runs on one $59 per month base plan with one seat and one channel account included, plus unlimited enrichment. Extra seats are $10 per month and extra accounts are $10 per month. A 5 person team on Breakcold is $59 + 4 x $10 = $99 per month, every channel and every AI feature in.

When to pick NetHunt over Breakcold

Be honest about your team. If your sales motion is 95 percent email, you basically live in Gmail, you do not want to learn a second tab, and you do not need a native LinkedIn or WhatsApp inbox, NetHunt is a clean pick. Their Gmail integration is genuinely deep.

If your team sells across channels, wants LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Telegram to behave like email inside the CRM, or wants AI agents that can act across every conversation through MCP, Breakcold is the better answer.
