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

The evidence gives me marketing-level nouns only — semi-automatic data input, enrichment, a 'who knows whom' graph — with zero evidence of custom fields, merge or dedupe tooling, or field-level anything; the one duplicate claim is lead-finder copy, not hygiene tooling. The Pro tier's 'user permissions' is the only structural hint, and it's not field-level access. Standard objects are implied but the data model's depth is entirely unevidenced, so it sits below the anchor where customization at least exists. 1 2

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

What's evidenced is a drag-and-drop kanban plus 'custom dashboards' on Pro — no stage requirements, no win/loss capture, no forecast, quota or roll-up in sight. That's anchor-0 mechanics with one reporting crumb. No finance department I've worked with signs off on a forecast built from this sheet. 1 2

Report an error

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

Multi-step automated email sequences and Pro's 'workflows of multiple emails' are real, tier-gated automation, plus automated data input and reminders. But there's no evidence of branching, lead routing, workflow triggers across objects, or webhooks — this is email follow-up automation, not a workflow builder. 1 2

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

Email integration with Google/Microsoft, LinkedIn sync, and a knowledge-center 'Apps & Integrations' section put this past pure CSV land. But the evidence contains no mention of an API at all — no REST docs, no webhooks, no Zapier — and for a CRM in 2026 an unevidenced API is an API I assume I can't use to get my data out. Capped at the read-mostly anchor. 1 2

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

Salesflare BV in Antwerp is an EU entity and prices in EUR, which clears the US-entity anchor — but the sovereignty attributes section literally reads 'no sovereignty attributes on record': no DPA, no hosting location, no subprocessor list anywhere in the evidence. I can't tell a DPO where the data lives or who touches it, so a Belgian invoice alone doesn't carry this past the middle. 1 2

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 only migration evidence is 'Data migration done for you' on the top tier — vendor-mediated ingress as a service, nothing self-serve, and no export, API or data-return terms evidenced at all. The lone positive is genuinely good exit-friendly contracting (cancel anytime, charges stop immediately, no multi-year lock), but leaving a CRM means leaving with the data, and this sheet gives me no path to it. 2

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

Every tier carries a real per-user price with the annual discount and a stated 5-user minimum on Enterprise, plus a free 30-day trial and public cancellation terms, stable across three captures of the pricing page. Missing the last mile: lead-credit overage pricing and VAT treatment are unstated, which keeps it off the 8 anchor. 2 2 2
