The trigger

Why teams move off HubSpot

HubSpot's data model was built for inbound marketing funnels. Your pipeline doesn't look like that anymore — if it ever did. Companies and Contacts are tethered to funnel stages, not relationship depth or account health. Custom objects exist, but the UX is painful. You spend more time wrangling schemas than selling.

Pricing compounds the problem. You start with Sales Hub at $90/seat. Then you add Marketing Hub for demand gen, Operations Hub for workflow automation. Suddenly you're paying $300+ per user for features whole teams don't touch. At 15+ seats, you're hemorrhaging $4K+ monthly on tool sprawl.

The workflow ceiling hits hardest at scale. HubSpot workflows are fine for 10 automations. At 50+, they become unmaintainable — hidden dependencies, impossible to debug, pure technical debt. You can't see the full picture. You can't reuse logic.

Pipeline stages don't bend to how you actually sell. Consultative deals need multiple stakeholders tracked per opportunity, not just contact roles. Relationship-shaped sales need account history and relationship signals, not lead scoring. You're forcing your sales process into HubSpot's template, not the other way around.

We've shipped 23 migrations off HubSpot. Every team cited at least one of these. HubSpot is the right choiceif you're running a marketing-led funnel at SMB scale. It's excellent at that. But if you're doing outbound, account-based sales, or complex stakeholder navigation, you're fighting the tool. Attio is built for exactly that — flexibility first, structure second.

Scope

What gets migrated, exactly

HubSpot's five core objects move into Attio with full fidelity. Your data doesn't get stripped down or reinterpreted — custom properties, associations, and ownership all transfer intact. The key is understanding which HubSpot fields map to which Attio attributes so you know exactly what lands where.

Companies become Attio organizations. Names, domains, annual revenue, lifecycle stages, and all custom properties carry over. Account owners are matched by email and reassigned automatically. Associations stay locked in place.

Contacts become Peoplein Attio. Email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company associations transfer cleanly. Lifecycle stage maps to Attio's People stage field. Custom properties arrive as the same type, so your filtering and reporting logic doesn't break.

Deals move as-is. Names, amounts, owners, and stages transfer directly. Custom properties carry their type and values. Associations to companies and contacts are preserved, so every deal still knows which organization it belongs to.

Notes and Tasks become Attio timeline activities. Every note your team wrote stays attached to the right company or contact. Task due dates, assignees, and descriptions transfer.

Custom properties carry their type fidelity — numbers stay numbers, single-select dropdowns stay dropdowns, multi-select fields stay multi-select. Owners are mapped via email matching.

Honest gaps

What doesn't migrate (and what to do about it)

We're direct about this on every kickoff call: HubSpot has features Attio doesn't replicate one-to-one. Here's what you'll need to handle separately.

HubSpot Workflows

Your automation engine doesn't move over. HubSpot's workflow builder has no API export, so you're rebuilding the logic in Attio Workflows by hand. Take your top 5–10 workflows (the ones actually running revenue motions). Most clients rebuild these in 2–4 hours. Everything else usually gets killed — dead workflows are dead for a reason.

Marketing Emails & Sequences

Attio is a CRM. It has no email or sequencing tool. You need a separate platform — Lemlist for personalized cold outreach, Apollo for inbound sequences, or keep HubSpot's email engine running in parallel during transition. We wire one in as part of the Migration + Wire package.

Lead Scoring

HubSpot's lead score field comes over as a number. The scoring logic doesn't. You rebuild scoring in Attio using formula attributes (engagement history, company size, industry flags) or outsource it to Clay enrichment. This takes an afternoon to set up properly, then runs on autopilot.

Reports & Dashboards

Attio's reporting is solid. Your saved HubSpot dashboards are not. You'll lose custom report layouts, saved filters, and dashboard arrangements. Budget half a day to rebuild your top 5 dashboards from scratch. After that, Attio's dashboard interface is usually faster to work in than HubSpot's.

How we work

Our migration process — four steps

Every HubSpot-to-Attio migration runs the same four-step process. We've run it 23 times. It's methodical, boring, and reliable.

Step 1 — Audit (week before cutover)

We screen-share into your HubSpot workspace and walk through it together. We catalogue every object, custom property, workflow, and integration you have. Nothing gets assumed; we see it. By the end, we hand you a one-page scope doc with the field map. Takes 2–3 hours.

Step 2 — Schema design (1–2 days, async)

We build your Attio data model offsite. Objects, attributes, views, permissions. We send it to you in draft form. You read it, flag any changes, we iterate. No data moves until you sign off.

Step 3 — Cutover (the day, 4–6 hours)

Cutover day itself is where the work happens. We run a dry-run first against a copy of your data. Our own AI-powered system maps every record, flags conflicts, and prints a diff showing you exactly what will change. You review it. Once you approve, we apply the real migration. Actual data move is usually under 30 minutes.

Step 4 — Verify & hand-off

Record counts, association integrity, owner mapping, custom-field values. We screen-share the verification with you. You sign off. Then a runbook plus a Loom walkthrough of every workflow we built.

Cutover day

How long a HubSpot to Attio migration actually takes

One day. That's the standard for a typical HubSpot Sales Hub migration — the cutover window runs start to finish in a single business day. Complex migrations with custom objects, multi-pipeline workflows, or heavy formula logic run 2–3 days. Both scenarios are rare in practice.

Most SERP articles quote 2–3 weeks because they're describing manual imports without scripted tooling. No automated diff checks, no batch validation, no structured verification. That's not a timeline issue — that's a process issue.

We've shipped 23 of these. The cutover window has been under 30 minutes on every one. The hour-by-hour breakdown:

Pricing

Pricing — fixed, not hourly

You pay by scope, not hours. Your migration cost is fixed. Your cutover date is fixed. No surprise invoices when we optimize your field mapping or add extra workflows — the scope defines the price.

Hourly billing creates a problem: the slower we work, the more we earn. Fixed pricing flips that. We're incentivized to finish fast and clean.

Most teams use Standard ($4,500). If you're consolidating Lemlist, Apollo, or Clay data flows, Migration + Wire ($7,500) includes those integrations. Complex deployments — multi-pipeline HubSpot with custom objects, 50+ workflows, or Salesforce-scale requirements — start at $9,500.

Every package includes the field map, the dry-run, the cutover, post-launch verification, runbook, and 30 days of follow-up support.

How much does a HubSpot to Attio migration cost?+
Most migrations land between $4,500 and $10,000. Standard HubSpot Sales Hub workspaces start at $4,500. Migration + Wire ($7,500) adds Clay, Lemlist or Apollo integration. Complex setups (multi-pipeline, custom objects, 50+ workflows) start at $9,500. Fixed-price quote after a scope form. No hourly billing, no surprise extensions.
Can it really be done in one day?+
Yes — for a typical HubSpot Sales Hub setup, cutover runs start to finish in a single business day. Morning is the dry-run, midday is the apply (under 30 minutes of execution), afternoon is verification. The audit and schema design happen in the week before cutover. We've shipped 23 of these. Cutover has been under 30 minutes on every one.
What happens if something breaks during cutover?+
Nothing writes until you approve the dry-run diff. Our own system maps every record on a sandbox first and prints exactly what will change before any real write happens. If a row fails validation, it's quarantined — not duplicated, not silently dropped. We screen-share the cutover so you see the logs in real time. Zero data has been lost across 23 migrations.
What about HubSpot workflows? Do those migrate?+
No, and we say so on the kickoff call. HubSpot's workflow builder has no API export. We document your active workflows during the audit, then rebuild the top 5–10 in Attio Workflows during cutover (usually 2–4 hours). The long tail of unused workflows gets pruned — most teams discover half of theirs were dead anyway.
Should we use Import2, or hire someone like you?+
Import2 is fine for simple CSV-style transfers — small workspaces, no custom objects, no workflow rebuild needed. We exist for the 90% of teams whose setup is more complex than that, and who want a clean Attio data model on the other side instead of a copy of their messy HubSpot one. If your HubSpot has 50+ custom properties or multi-pipeline deals, you want us.
Do you migrate marketing automations and email sequences?+
No. Attio is a CRM, not a marketing platform. Marketing Hub features (email sequences, lead scoring logic, landing pages) don't have an Attio equivalent. We pair Attio with Lemlist or Apollo for sequencing, and rebuild lead scoring as Attio formula attributes or via Clay enrichment. We map this out on the discovery call so you know exactly what stays and what doesn't.
Will my team be able to maintain Attio after you leave?+
Yes — that's the deliverable. You get a written runbook covering data model, workflows, integrations, and common maintenance tasks. Plus Loom walkthroughs of every workflow we built. Attio's interface is simpler than HubSpot's, so most teams are self-sufficient within a week. Every package includes 30 days of follow-up questions at no extra cost.
