Affinity vs NetHunt CRM: at a glance
What is Affinity?
Affinity is wiring deal data into outside AI tools while rebuilding its core list views.
The tracked source is Affinity's blog index rather than a changelog, so most of what lands here is article chrome and case studies. Underneath that, two genuine product items are visible: Affinity Lists rebuilt for faster performance with advanced filtering, and an Affinity MCP Server in beta that connects deal data to AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. The surrounding material — Speedinvest tracking 500+ LP relationships through automatic capture, a year-in-review post, an executive appointment — is positioning around relationship intelligence rather than shipped change.
What is NetHunt CRM?
NetHunt CRM ships workflow, integration, and automation depth as it builds toward a more self-contained sales OS.
NetHunt CRM, a Gmail-native CRM, has been shipping steadily across automation, integration, and data quality work. Recent releases add Aircall integration for call logging, statistical email tracking fields, a workflow engine redesign with retry/cancel/history capabilities, and auto-creation of contacts from Gmail compose and social channels. The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.

Affinity
0.0CRM
Affinity is wiring deal data into outside AI tools while rebuilding its core list views.
◆ Current state
The tracked source is Affinity's blog index rather than a changelog, so most of what lands here is article chrome and case studies. Underneath that, two genuine product items are visible: Affinity Lists rebuilt for faster performance with advanced filtering, and an Affinity MCP Server in beta that connects deal data to AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. The surrounding material — Speedinvest tracking 500+ LP relationships through automatic capture, a year-in-review post, an executive appointment — is positioning around relationship intelligence rather than shipped change.
◆ Where it's heading
Affinity is pushing on two fronts that reinforce each other: making the CRM's own surfaces fast enough to live in, and making its relationship graph reachable from whatever AI tool a dealmaker already has open. The consistent claim across the entries is automatic capture — email and meeting data collected without manual entry — which is what makes both the network mapping and the agent access worth anything. The category framing is relationship intelligence, not CRM.
◆ Prediction
The MCP server is in beta and is the obvious next thing to move; watch for it to gain write access to pipeline records rather than read-only querying, since the existing material already describes updating a pipeline from an AI tool.
NetHunt CRM
0.0CRM
NetHunt CRM ships workflow, integration, and automation depth as it builds toward a more self-contained sales OS.
◆ Current state
NetHunt CRM, a Gmail-native CRM, has been shipping steadily across automation, integration, and data quality work. Recent releases add Aircall integration for call logging, statistical email tracking fields, a workflow engine redesign with retry/cancel/history capabilities, and auto-creation of contacts from Gmail compose and social channels. The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.
◆ Where it's heading
NetHunt is expanding outward from Gmail toward a broader sales operations platform: telephony integration (Aircall, Ringostat, Binotel), messenger support, improved webforms, and enhanced automations. The workflow redesign—which adds retry logic, cancellation controls, and run history—indicates the product is maturing its automation engine for teams running complex multi-step sales processes.
◆ Prediction
More telephony and communication integrations are likely given the pattern. The automation redesign suggests upcoming improvements to trigger logic or condition branching. Email deliverability tooling (custom SMTP, manual send delays) points toward continued investment in outreach capabilities.
