Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Migrator

Weighted verdict

Has moved a company off a CRM twice and remembers every scar. Optimizes for clean import with dedupe, full export of every object including notes and activity history, and contract terms that permit leaving. Rejects export behind support tickets and per-record API metering that makes exit a project.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Migrator

Contact & data model

How this is scored

Depth and hygiene of the core records — contacts, companies, deals, custom fields, deduplication.

0 — A flat address book; no relations between people, companies and deals.

3 — The standard three objects exist but customization is cosmetic: few field types, no required fields, duplicates accumulate unchecked.

5 — Custom fields across objects, basic dedupe on create, activity history on the record; complex models still need workarounds.

8 — Rich field types with validation, merge and dedupe tooling, relationships beyond the standard model, permissioned field access.

10 — A genuinely modelable system: custom objects or equivalent, bulk hygiene tooling, field-level history — the data model bends to the business, not the reverse.

Report an error

The Migrator

Contacts, leads and access rights are named across the feature lists, so the standard objects exist and permissions get a mention. We found no public information on custom field depth, validation, dedupe or merge tooling — and duplicate-laden imports are the scar tissue I score hardest. 1

Pipeline & forecasting

How this is scored

Whether the pipeline enforces a process and produces reporting a finance department accepts.

0 — A kanban of deals with amounts; nothing is enforced, nothing rolls up.

3 — Multiple pipelines and stage probabilities exist, but no required fields per stage and only canned reports.

5 — Stage requirements, win/loss capture and standard forecast views; custom reporting is limited or an add-on.

8 — Enforceable process (required fields, stage gates, routing), custom report builder, forecast by team and period with quota tracking.

10 — Forecasting a CFO signs: weighted and commit-based views, historical snapshots, attainment tracking, and reporting composable enough to answer questions the vendor never anticipated.

Report an error

The Migrator

Pipelines, a kanban view, KPI and analytics, invoices and recurring sales are all named, which is more than a bare deal board. We found no public information on required fields per stage, stage gates, win/loss capture or forecasting views, so I cannot evidence a process a finance department would sign. 1

Automation & workflows

How this is scored

Triggers, sequences and routing that remove manual work without a consultant.

0 — No automation beyond email templates.

3 — Simple if-this-then-that on records; no multi-step sequences, no branching.

5 — Multi-step workflows with delays and branching, email sequences, basic lead routing — capped by tier or count.

8 — Full workflow builder across objects with webhooks as steps, round-robin routing, sequence analytics.

10 — Automation as infrastructure: versioned workflows, error handling, per-step logs, and limits generous enough that the feature is not its own upsell.

Report an error

The Migrator

Workflow automation, approvals, AI agents and a chat-prompt app builder are published, so automation is more than email templates. We found no public information on multi-step branching, delays, lead routing or per-tier automation limits — which is exactly where the upsell usually hides. 1

Report an error

Integrations & API

How this is scored

Two-way email/calendar sync, native connections, and an API that treats external systems as first-class.

0 — No API, no sync; data enters by CSV and leaves never.

3 — One-way email logging (BCC), a handful of Zapier triggers, a read-mostly API.

5 — Two-way email and calendar sync for the major providers, a documented REST API with sane limits, a modest native directory.

8 — Deep native integrations for the revenue stack, webhooks, OAuth apps, API parity with the UI for core objects.

10 — An ecosystem: public API covering everything the UI does, event streams, a marketplace, and sync so reliable the CRM can be the system of record without being the only system.

Report an error

The Migrator

A developer API, Google API services, a marketplace, MCP and native messaging channels including WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram are published. We found no public information on two-way email and calendar sync, outbound webhooks, or API rate limits — and with my exit maths, an API without published limits is a metering risk I cannot rule out. 1

Report an error

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where other people's personal data actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA.

0 — US entity, US-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad and undocumented.

5 — EU hosting selectable at signup, published DPA and subprocessor list; core processing still touches US entities.

8 — EU entity or EU-default hosting with published subprocessors, consent-friendly fields, retention and deletion controls; residual US exposure named and narrow.

10 — European entity, EU-only processing including subprocessors, deletion that provably deletes — sovereignty a DPO can sign off without a caveat file.

Report an error

The Migrator

The page publishes hosting region selection and a fully self-hosted on-premise edition, which materially helps a European deployment. But we found no public processing agreement and no subprocessor list, GDPR compliance appears only as a customer testimonial, and the copyright line names a different entity than the vendor, so where responsibility for personal data sits is undocumented. 1

Import, export & exit

How this is scored

Getting in with history intact, and out with everything — the anti-lock-in criterion.

0 — Import is a support ticket; export is contacts-only CSV missing notes, activities and files.

3 — Self-serve CSV import with mapping; export covers main objects but drops activity history, attachments or relations.

5 — Guided migration from major competitors, full-object CSV export, API access sufficient to rebuild the database elsewhere with effort.

8 — Complete export (all objects, history, files) self-serve in open formats, import with dedupe and dry-run, no API metering that prices exit out of reach.

10 — Exit as a feature: documented full-fidelity export, migration tooling both directions, and contractual data-return terms — leaving is a weekend, which is exactly why you can stay.

Report an error

The Migrator

The page names an API, a marketplace and a self-hosted edition — a theoretical path out — but we found no public information on import tooling, dedupe on import, export of any object including notes and activity history, or contractual data-return terms. I plan the way out before the way in, and I cannot price this exit from a marketing feature list. 1

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per seat, per month, at renewal — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price exists, but the tiers most buyers need are unpriced, or per-seat maths is obscured by bundles, minimums or mandatory onboarding fees.

5 — Most tiers carry real numbers with billing period and VAT treatment stated, but at least one commonly needed capability hides in an unpriced tier or usage-metered add-on.

8 — Every tier priced publicly including annual/monthly split; limits, seat minimums and overage rules stated; only genuine enterprise contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: every tier, add-on, usage meter and renewal rule public, with a calculator or table that makes the invoice at 3 and 30 seats a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Migrator

One concrete figure is published — 144 € per month under a fixed price per plan with a user limit, billed monthly or annually — alongside a 50-user comparison of 4.150 € per month for competitor toolsets and a claimed saving of 48.072 € per year. We found no public information on individual tier prices, VAT treatment, seat minimums or renewal rules, so the real invoice at 30 seats is not computable from the captured page. 1
