Steps (hand-written from the docs above)

  1. Export contacts, companies, deals, activities and notes from HubSpot as separate files.
  2. In Pipedrive, create matching custom fields and pipeline stages before importing anything.
  3. Import in order: organizations, persons, deals, leads, activities, notes; test with a handful of records first.
  4. Re-create HubSpot workflows and sequences by hand; they are not data.
  5. Re-point forms and tracking scripts at the new tool.

Effort score

FactorScore (1 easy, 5 hard)Why
Export2 / 5Based on the export documentation linked above (limits, add-ons, who must enable it).
Import2 / 5Based on the destination vendor's import documentation linked above (first-party tool vs scripting, what is not imported).
Permissions3 / 5Users, roles and groups usually need to be created and mapped by hand before data can land.
Integrations3 / 5Email forwarding, forms, plugins and API keys all have to be re-pointed; default score unless the vendors document a connector.
Training2 / 5Similar concepts with new menus.

Total 12 / 25 → 5–11 days for up to 15 seats (×1.5 for 16–50, ×2 above). This is our judgment from public docs, not a measured project. Rubric.
