Every existing article about HubSpot deal cloning apps is written by the vendor selling the app. This one isn’t. We’ve implemented CloneNer, Deal Duplicator, Clone a Deal, and Clone Attack for clients — and we’ll tell you which one actually fits your team.
This article is part of our Complete Guide to Cloning Deals in HubSpot.
Why Native HubSpot Deal Cloning Isn’t Enough
HubSpot’s built-in deal cloning (Actions → Clone) copies deal properties and associations — but nothing else. No line items. No workflow automation. No templates. No cross-pipeline cloning.
For a team managing renewal pipelines, upsells, or multi-location deals, native cloning means manually recreating line items every single time. According to Instrumental Group, reps spend 5–15 minutes per deal on post-clone cleanup — rebuilding line items, fixing dates, and correcting associations. At 50+ renewals per quarter, that’s 4–12 hours of pure admin.
That’s why 1,300+ companies use Deal Duplicator, 1,500+ use CloneNer, and several hundred more use Clone a Deal or Clone Attack.
The 4 Main Deal Cloning Apps
CloneNer by 4CRMs
The most feature-rich option. CloneNer clones deals, tickets, and custom objects with full property, association, and line item support. It’s HubSpot-certified with 4.9/5 stars across 30+ reviews. Notable clients include Warner Music and ByteDance.
Standout features: Reusable cloning templates, Auto-Rules (IFTTT-style conditional triggers), dynamic date calculations (“+20 days from today”), custom object support.
Deal Duplicator by Instrumental
The closest competitor to CloneNer, with a focus on simplicity. Deal Duplicator clones deals with properties and products in a single click. 1,300+ installs, HubSpot-certified.
Standout features: Batch cloning (200 deals in 10 seconds), automation rules with if/then logic (Pro+), engagement cloning on the roadmap (the only app planning this).
Clone a Deal by Baskey
A workflow-native action — not a standalone app. You install it and it adds a “Clone a Deal” action to your workflow builder. Best value at $9.99/month flat.
Standout features: Workflow-first design, checkbox for line items, configurable associations, fixed pricing with no per-deal limits.
Clone Attack by hapily
A newer entrant with configurable presets and a free tier. Less established than CloneNer or Deal Duplicator but growing.
Standout features: Free tier available, configurable field presets, starter guide documentation.

Pricing Comparison (Including Hidden Costs)
| Tier | CloneNer | Deal Duplicator | Clone a Deal | Clone Attack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 45 clones/mo, 1 template, manual only | Single user, manual only | N/A | Limited tier |
| Starter | $19/mo (60 clones) | $19/mo | $9.99/mo (unlimited) | Tiered |
| Professional | $49/mo (900 clones) | $35/mo | $9.99/mo (same) | Tiered |
| Enterprise | $149/mo (9,000 clones) | $59/mo | $9.99/mo (same) | Tiered |
| Annual discount | Up to 30% | ~$15-49/mo | $99.99/yr | Not confirmed |
Hidden costs to watch:
- CloneNer: Clone limits per tier. If you exceed 900 clones/month on Professional, you need Enterprise ($149/mo). Templates and Auto-Rules require the Professional tier.
- Deal Duplicator: Automation rules require Pro+ ($35/mo). Engagement cloning (when released) will likely be Enterprise-only.
- Clone a Deal: No hidden costs — flat $9.99/mo. But it’s workflow-only — no manual CRM card cloning, no auto-rules, no templates.
- Clone Attack: Pricing tiers aren’t publicly transparent.
Which App for Which Use Case?
| Use Case | Best App | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal deals (automated) | CloneNer or Clone a Deal | Both have workflow actions; CloneNer adds templates + date offsets |
| Upsell/expansion deals | CloneNer | Templates let you clone-then-modify for upsell scenarios |
| Multi-location deals | CloneNer | Template + batch cloning for repeatable structures |
| Simple deal copying (manual) | Deal Duplicator | Simplest UX, one-click from CRM card |
| High-volume cloning (500+/mo) | CloneNer Enterprise | 9,000 clones/mo at $149 vs. Deal Duplicator’s limits |
| Budget-conscious teams | Clone a Deal | $9.99/mo flat, unlimited, workflow-native |
| Ticket + deal cloning | CloneNer | Only app that clones tickets and custom objects |
| Need engagement history | Deal Duplicator (when released) | Only app with engagement cloning on roadmap |
| Developer teams (API preference) | None — use HubSpot API | Full control without app dependency |
What About Zapier/Make as an Alternative?
Zapier and Make can create deals via the HubSpot API — but they have significant limitations for cloning:
What works: Creating a new deal with properties copied from the trigger deal. Basic automation without HubSpot workflow limits.
What doesn’t: Zapier cannot access HubSpot quote associations, making quote-to-renewal automation impossible. Line item copying requires multi-step Zaps with API calls — fragile and hard to maintain.
Verdict: Use Zapier/Make when you need to trigger HubSpot deal creation from an external system. For HubSpot-to-HubSpot cloning, a dedicated app is simpler and more reliable.
Our Recommendation by Team Size
Small teams (1–5 reps, < 50 deals/month): Start with HubSpot’s native cloning. If you need line items, add Clone a Deal at $9.99/mo.
Mid-market teams (5–20 reps, 50–500 deals/month): CloneNer Professional ($49/mo) or Deal Duplicator Pro ($35/mo). Both give you workflow actions, auto-rules, and line item support. CloneNer wins on features; Deal Duplicator wins on simplicity.
Enterprise teams (20+ reps, 500+ deals/month): CloneNer Enterprise ($149/mo) for high-volume cloning with templates and custom objects. Or build a custom API integration if you need logic that no app supports.
