Leave Act!. Bring the database.
Act! is the CRM your business has used since the 90s. The data is gold; the UI is a museum piece. We migrate every contact, history note, and activity into something your team will actually open.

Why teams leave Act!
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
Dated UI
Act!'s interface still carries 90s desktop DNA. New hires, especially anyone under 35, struggle to adopt it.
Reason 02
Mobile experience is thin
Act! Mobile exists, but the field experience lags every modern CRM. Outside salespeople work around it with notes apps.
Reason 03
Integration ecosystem narrow
Beyond Outlook, Gmail, and a handful of natives, Act! integrations require Zapier or a dev. The 'CRM as hub' play is hard to execute.
Reason 04
Marketing Automation tier required for sequences
Real email cadences live in Act! Marketing Automation — a separate add-on. Without it, Act! is a contact database with deals.
The math
What Act! actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
Premium subscription | $30 / seat / mo (annual) |
Marketing Automation tier | $79+ / mo |
Implementation / data import | $$ partner-led |
Insight + AI features | tier-stepped |
| Real all-in | ~$75 effective per seat all-in |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from Act!. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- Contacts, Companies, Groups
- Opportunities, sales pipelines, products
- Activities, history, notes (decades of them)
- Custom fields and entity layouts
- Act! Marketing Automation campaigns and lists
- Calendar, to-dos, scheduled activities
- Document attachments (local + cloud)
Our recommendation
Replace Act! with Twenty (open source).
Most Act! shops want a modern, clean CRM their team will actually open. Twenty's contact-and-pipeline UI is the cleanest landing for an Act! migration, and the data model maps directly. We import every history note (often 20+ years' worth) so nothing is lost in translation.
Not the right fit?
We also build fully bespoke CRMs, deploy Twenty / EspoCRM / NocoBase to other variants, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.
Related alternatives
Compare against another CRM
Keap alternative
Keap's per-contact pricing turns every successful campaign into a quarterly bill increase. We replace Keap with a CRM where adding 10,000 contacts costs cents, not hundreds.
Pipedrive alternative
Pipedrive's pipeline UI is great. Its growing add-on tax — LeadBooster, Smart Docs, Campaigns, AI Sales Assistant — is not. We rebuild the UI without the upsells.
Insightly alternative
Insightly's project + CRM hybrid is genuinely useful — until AppConnect, automation limits, and per-tier customization caps start gating the features your services team needs.
