What tool to use for
Salesforce to HubSpot Data Migration ?

We've dissected the elements, surprises, customizations that pop up throughout the migration process and broken down for you so you choose the right instrument in getting your customer migrated without pain.

Stop the friction

Why Did We Create This Comparison Page?

We’ve spoken with too many teams who started with the wrong tool, got stuck halfway, or realized too late that what they chose wasn’t built for their use case. Some thought HubSpot’s import tool would handle everything. Others assumed Salesforce’s sync was a true migration. Spoiler: it’s not.

This page exists to cut through the confusion and help you:

  • Understand what each tool actually does (and doesn’t do)

  • See how MigrateMyCRM compares, honestly and transparently

  • Choose the right approach for your migration—based on your needs, not just marketing claims

We’re not here to bash. We’re here to inform - so you can make smarter decisions and avoid painful surprises.
