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.
If Your Use Case Is Renewals, Compare More Than Clone Buttons
A renewal workflow needs more than a copied record. It needs the right target pipeline, a refreshed renewal date, preserved line items, copied contract context, a reset stage, and a link back to the original deal. A general-purpose cloner can help, but it may still leave RevOps with manual cleanup before the renewal forecast is trustworthy.
Use this comparison alongside the HubSpot renewal apps page and the renewal deal workflow guide. The buying question is: which option creates renewal-ready deals your CSMs and finance team can trust?
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. The native cloning feature is fine for a one-off duplicate deal; it’s not built for teams that need consistency and accuracy across dozens of duplicate deals a month, which is where a dedicated app or a workflow-based approach earns its cost.
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, roughly 1,000 use Clone Attack, and several hundred more use Clone a Deal.
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
The widest object coverage in this cohort. Clone Attack (formerly by appchemist, now hapily) clones deals, contacts, companies, tickets, engagements, line items, quotes, and custom objects: the only app here that covers all of them. It sits at roughly 1,000 installs with a 4.7 rating across 63 reviews on the HubSpot Marketplace at the time of writing.
Its reusable “Clone Configurations” work like templates: you define which properties to exclude, set default values for the clone, and apply dynamic date offsets (Source Date+X or Today+X) so close dates land where they should. The workflow action is gated at the Pro tier ($60/mo, as of mid-2026); the free tier is manual-only at 10 clones per month.
Standout features: Widest object coverage (including engagements and quotes), reusable Clone Configurations with property exclusion and default values, dynamic date offsets, starter guide documentation.
Renewal limitation: Clone Attack copies records, but it has no renewal data model: no parent-child deal lineage, no scheduled deal creation, and per-clone quotas that cap large renewal books (100 clones/month on Basic, 1,500 on Enterprise). For a 500-deal renewal book, that quota math matters.

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 | 10 clones/mo, manual only |
| Starter | $19/mo (60 clones) | $19/mo | $9.99/mo (unlimited) | Basic $30/mo (100 clones) |
| Professional | $49/mo (900 clones) | $35/mo | $9.99/mo (same) | Pro $60/mo (workflow action) |
| Enterprise | $149/mo (9,000 clones) | $59/mo | $9.99/mo (same) | $120/mo (1,500 clones) |
| 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 at a flat $9.99/mo. But it’s workflow-only, with no manual CRM card cloning, no auto-rules, no templates.
- Clone Attack: The workflow action requires Pro ($60/mo). Per-clone quotas on every tier (10, 100, 1,500 per month) can cap a large renewal book, so size your monthly clone volume before choosing a tier.
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 or Clone Attack | Both clone tickets and custom objects |
| Need engagement history | Clone Attack | Clones engagements today; Deal Duplicator has it on the roadmap |
| Widest object coverage | Clone Attack | Deals, contacts, companies, tickets, engagements, line items, quotes, custom objects |
| 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.
