True Record

Full Deduplication

Detect existing duplicates, merge them safely, and prevent new ones. AI-powered matching with undo/restore.

DupeCatcher

Point-of-Entry Dedupe

Free managed package for real-time duplicate checks. Great for blocking or merging duplicates as records are created — but it's not designed for org-wide cleanup runs.

Where DupeCatcher Fits

DupeCatcher is built around real-time, point-of-entry duplicate checks (with a background analysis mode). If you need to scan and clean existing duplicates across your whole org, you'll want a tool built for org-wide scans and bulk merges.

Why Teams Need More Than DupeCatcher

Find Existing Duplicates

DupeCatcher focuses on duplicates as records are created or updated. True Record also scans existing records to find the duplicates you already have — usually the hardest (and most expensive) part of cleanup.

Bulk Cleanup Workflows

DupeCatcher can block or merge at point-of-entry. True Record adds bulk merge workflows, survivorship rules, and safe cleanup for existing duplicate backlogs.

AI-Powered Matching

Semantic AI catches matches that rules miss. "Bob Smith" and "Robert Smith" at the same company? We'll find it.

Audit + Undo

Cleaning data is risky. True Record provides a full audit trail and one-click undo so you can merge with confidence.
