Leave ActiveCampaign. Keep the sequences.
ActiveCampaign is a fine email engine pretending to be a CRM. We replace it with a real CRM and keep your sequences, deals, and lead scoring intact — without per-contact tiers.

Why teams leave ActiveCampaign
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
Per-contact pricing tiers
Plus tier starts at $49/mo for 1,000 contacts. At 25,000 contacts you're already at $199+/mo. Bigger list = bigger bill, every quarter.
Reason 02
Sales features as add-ons
Lead scoring, attribution reporting, and deeper pipeline tools live in higher tiers (Professional, Enterprise) or as separate Sales add-ons. The base plan is email-first.
Reason 03
Automation builder learning curve
ActiveCampaign's automation editor is powerful but baroque. Hiring contractors who can read your existing automations is its own problem.
Reason 04
AI features are tier-gated
Predictive sending, Win Probability, and AI-generated content all require Professional+ — even though most teams just want a usable copilot.
The math
What ActiveCampaign actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
Plus tier base | $49 / mo (1,000 contacts) |
Sales add-on | $19 / seat / mo |
Professional / Enterprise upgrade | $149–$259 / mo |
Per-contact overage (typical mid-tier) | +$30–80 / 5K contacts |
| Real all-in | ~$110 effective per seat all-in |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from ActiveCampaign. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- Contacts, lists, custom fields, tags
- Automations (re-implemented as readable workflow records)
- Email templates, campaigns, landing pages
- Deals, pipelines, deal custom fields
- Sales sequences, tasks, automated follow-ups
- Lead scoring rules and historical scores
- Attribution data and conversion events
Our recommendation
Replace ActiveCampaign with Twenty (open source).
Twenty handles the deals-and-pipelines half cleanly, and we wire Resend or Postmark for the email half. Sequences become cron-triggered workflow records you can read end-to-end. AI uses your own Claude or OpenAI keys.
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.

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.
HubSpot alternative
Sales Hub, Marketing Hub, Service Hub, Operations Hub — your bill compounds with every Hub. We replace the suite with one CRM you actually own.
Freshsales (Freshworks) alternative
Freshsales is a clean out-of-the-box CRM. The moment you need real customization, Freddy AI on your data, or non-template integrations — the limits show up.
