Keap vs NetHunt CRM
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Keap and NetHunt CRM — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Keap vs NetHunt CRM: at a glance
What is Keap?
Keap is folding deeper into the Thryv platform; the v2 REST API just hit parity.
Keap publishes a regular monthly product roundup covering automations, email, branding, and reporting. The biggest single move in the last cycle is the Thryv v2 REST API reaching full feature parity with the legacy XMLRPC API, with new SDKs alongside it. Branding and copy across recent updates increasingly leads with Thryv rather than Keap, suggesting the post-acquisition merge is now visible in product surfaces.
What is NetHunt CRM?
NetHunt publishes CRM explainers on a steady cadence; the product stays off the feed
The feed is NetHunt's marketing blog — sales tracking metrics, CRM migration checklists, dashboard guides, category trend pieces and buyer's checklists. Several posts reference NetHunt's segmentation and automation features, but as illustration inside a tutorial rather than as announcements. No release notes appear in this window.

Keap
0.0CRM
Keap is folding deeper into the Thryv platform; the v2 REST API just hit parity.
◆ Current state
Keap publishes a regular monthly product roundup covering automations, email, branding, and reporting. The biggest single move in the last cycle is the Thryv v2 REST API reaching full feature parity with the legacy XMLRPC API, with new SDKs alongside it. Branding and copy across recent updates increasingly leads with Thryv rather than Keap, suggesting the post-acquisition merge is now visible in product surfaces.
◆ Where it's heading
Keap is on a steady CRM-feature cadence — scheduling, segmentation, email deliverability, automation triggers — while the underlying platform shifts under the Thryv brand and API. Developer ecosystem work (v2 REST + SDKs) signals an attempt to revive third-party integration momentum that XMLRPC was bottlenecking. Expect Keap-branded surfaces to keep narrowing as Thryv consolidates the small-business suite.
◆ Prediction
The XMLRPC API has a deprecation window coming — likely a public timeline within a quarter or two. Cross-product features (booking, reputation, marketing) will increasingly land as Thryv-branded rather than Keap-branded, accelerating the brand transition.
NetHunt CRM
5.0CRM
NetHunt publishes CRM explainers on a steady cadence; the product stays off the feed
◆ Current state
The feed is NetHunt's marketing blog — sales tracking metrics, CRM migration checklists, dashboard guides, category trend pieces and buyer's checklists. Several posts reference NetHunt's segmentation and automation features, but as illustration inside a tutorial rather than as announcements. No release notes appear in this window.
◆ Where it's heading
The content targets buyers mid-evaluation and teams migrating off another CRM, with migration and comparison pieces doing the competitive work. AI shows up as a category trend to explain rather than a capability being shipped.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued CRM buyer-education content on the same rhythm; product changes will need a different source.
