How Operelio and Cloudingo differ
Merging inside Salesforce, or cleaning before it
Cloudingo merges duplicates in your org by hand or automatically by rule, and its Import Wizard checks new files against existing records.
Operelio's trails take each new file through a saved or ready-made mapping, cleanup, verification and a check of every row against the CRM, then push it, setting an owner if you choose. Duplicates already in Salesforce stay there.
Keeping records up to date
Cloudingo works on the records already in Salesforce, with mass updates, merges and deletes. With Operelio, you keep one master list in a watched folder, and every new version you save is cleaned, verified and pushed on arrival or at the next scheduled time.
Blank fields are filled by default, so edits made in Salesforce are not undone. An unchanged file is not pushed again; a new version has to land. Operelio does not pull records out of Salesforce, so you or a scheduled CRM export supply the file.
A preview, or a report with reasons
Cloudingo lets you preview and edit records before pushing to Salesforce.
Operelio checks each row against the CRM, matching people by email address (rows without one aren't sent), companies by website or name. Its report gives the reason for each row not sent, and warns about owners who are not users in the CRM.
Routing and AI cleanup on the way in
An Operelio trail can assign each new lead as it pushes, by rules that pick a person, a team in turn or the company owner, and can wait for approval or let clean runs push on their own. Cloudingo sets owners in bulk during an import; its docs describe no round robin.
Bridgeant, the AI on Starter and up, plans cleanups with Operelio's own tools from a summary of the file: column names, how full each column is and the problems found. Cell values never reach the model, and the plan runs only after you approve.
Where Cloudingo is better
Merging Salesforce duplicates
Cloudingo merges duplicates by rule, on a schedule or as records reach Salesforce or Marketo.Undoing merges

Frequently asked questions
How much does Cloudingo cost?
Standard is $2,500 a year for 1 seat, Professional $6,000 for 3 seats and Enterprise $10,000 for 8 seats, billed yearly after a 10-day free trial. Above 300,000 records it adds $100 per 100,000 records.
Does Cloudingo work with HubSpot or Pipedrive?
No. Cloudingo documents Salesforce and Marketo only; its site does not list HubSpot or Pipedrive.
What are the alternatives to Cloudingo?
In Salesforce, DemandTools also dedupes and merges records in the org, and Insycle merges records in Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Operelio covers new data: its trails clean, verify and route each file before pushing it to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive (Starter and up).
Does Cloudingo prevent duplicates when importing to Salesforce?
Yes. Cloudingo's Import Wizard matches import files against existing Salesforce leads, contacts and accounts, updates the matching records and lets you preview and edit records before pushing. It takes CSV files up to 10 MB.
Can Operelio route leads in Salesforce?
Yes, as it pushes them. A trail can set the owner on each lead, contact or account the push creates, and on updated records when overwrite is on, by rules that pick a person, a team in turn or the company owner, from Starter.
