By Harikrishnan, Founder & Chief Zoho Consultant, Flowpeak · 10+ years in Zoho · Published · Last updated
Moving from Pipedrive to Zoho CRM means exporting people, organisations, deals, activities, notes and products with their IDs, mapping them to Zoho Contacts, Accounts, Deals and Activities, recreating each pipeline and its stages, rebuilding automations, and cutting over after a sample import. With Flowpeak it starts from USD 640 (₹60,000, £500, €570, AED 2,350) and takes two to four weeks.
