Overview

What this migration involves

Contractor+ organizes contractor workflows around clients, jobs, estimates, and invoices — combining CRM functions with field-service and financial tools in a tiered subscription model. Twenty CRM is a PostgreSQL-backed open-source platform with a relational object model built around People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, and Notes, plus unlimited custom objects on Organization-tier plans. The migration carries Contractor+ contacts and companies directly into Twenty's People and Companies objects, and translates Contractor+ Jobs into Twenty Opportunities with stage, amount, and close-date mapping. The primary export path from Contractor+ is CSV — Twenty accepts CSV import up to 20,000 records per file with column mapping in the UI. Workflows, automations, and invoicing logic built in Contractor+ do not migrate; these must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder or as custom objects. FlitStack sequences the migration by importing Companies first, then People (with companyId linking), then Opportunities, ensuring foreign-key integrity through the CSV import order Twenty's documentation specifies.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Contractor+ logo

Contractor+

What's pushing teams away

  • The subcontractor management feature was repeatedly delayed past its promised release date, frustrating users who needed to create accounts and assign work to sub-contractors.
  • Client Portal lacks granular visibility controls — users cannot hide specific job types or data that do not apply to a particular client, creating confusion and information disclosure risk.
  • Freedom plan caps estimates and invoices at 5 per month, forcing contractors to upgrade to Pro sooner than expected as soon as they start taking on regular work.
  • Users report a learning curve when first exploring the system — creating test quotes, jobs, and invoices takes a few evenings to feel comfortable, and the initial onboarding lacks guided structure.
  • The platform is relatively new and rapidly evolving, meaning features available at evaluation may shift or be removed before sub-ecosystems (like the subcontractor portal) are fully built out.

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How Contractor+ objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Contractor+ object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Contractor+

Client / Lead

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ clients (contacts, leads, subcontractors) map directly to Twenty's People object. The People record holds name, email, phone, job title, and a companyId link. Contractor+ contacts without a primary company get assigned to a default placeholder company record in Twenty or a 'Unassigned' company to satisfy the foreign-key constraint. Original create timestamps from Contractor+ are preserved as a custom datetime field since Twenty's CreatedAt is set at import time.

Contractor+

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ companies (business accounts associated with clients) map to Twenty's Companies object. The companyId in Contractor+ serves as the unique identifier. Twenty's Companies object holds name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and location fields. Parent-company hierarchies in Contractor+ map to Twenty's ParentCompanyId field if present. Multi-contact companies collapse to one Company record with multiple linked People records via the companyId foreign key.

Contractor+

Job

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ Jobs (the core project/deal record) map to Twenty Opportunities. The job name becomes the Opportunity name, job amount maps to Opportunity amount, and the job stage (Lead, Bidding, Awarded, In Progress, Completed) maps to Opportunity stage values. FlitStack creates a stage-mapping table between Contractor+ job statuses and Twenty's Opportunity stage pick-list. Job close date maps to the expectedCloseDate field. Contractor+ job type or trade category is preserved as a custom field or tag on the Opportunity.

Contractor+

Estimate / Quote

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity (custom fields)

many:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ estimates and quotes attach to Jobs as line-item data. Since Twenty has no native estimate object, FlitStack merges estimate data into the Opportunity record: total estimate amount maps to a custom Estimate_Amount__c field, and line items are preserved as a JSON-encoded custom text field or as a linked custom object (Estimate_Item__c) with quantity, unit price, and description. The original estimate date is preserved as Estimate_Date__c on the Opportunity.

Contractor+

Invoice

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object (Invoice__c)

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ invoices have no direct equivalent in Twenty CRM's standard object model. FlitStack creates a custom Invoice__c object in Twenty with fields for invoice number, amount, status (Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue), issue date, due date, and linked OpportunityId. Invoice line items are stored as a related custom object (Invoice_Line__c) with product description, quantity, rate, and total. Invoice PDF attachments are re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage and linked to the Invoice__c record.

Contractor+

Task / Work Order

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ tasks and work orders map directly to Twenty's Task object. The task title, due date, assignee (via email match to Twenty workspace members), and status (Open, Completed) are mapped field-by-field. Task completion timestamps from Contractor+ are preserved in Twenty's completedAt field. Tasks linked to specific jobs in Contractor+ are linked to the corresponding Opportunity record in Twenty via the task's linkedId and linkedRecordId fields.

Contractor+

Note / Message

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ notes and client messages map to Twenty's Note object. Notes are linked to the relevant People, Company, or Opportunity record via the Note's linkedId and linkedRecordId fields. Original note timestamps are preserved in Twenty's createdAt. Rich-text formatting from Contractor+ notes is converted to plain text or preserved where the Note object's Body field supports it. Note authors are resolved by email match against Twenty workspace members.

Contractor+

Attachment / File

maps to

Twenty CRM

File (via Twenty storage)

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ file attachments (photos, contracts, PDF invoices) linked to jobs or clients are downloaded and re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage. Each file is linked to its parent record (Person, Company, or Opportunity) in Twenty. File names and original upload dates are preserved as metadata. Large files exceeding Twenty's storage configuration are flagged for review before migration commits.

Contractor+

Custom Property (Contact)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on People

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ custom properties on clients (trade licenses, insurance expiry, referral source) that have no direct Twenty equivalent are created as custom fields on the People object. FlitStack generates a custom field creation plan before migration: field type is inferred from Contractor+ data (text, number, date, or select), and the field is created in Twenty before data is loaded. Custom property values are mapped directly to the new custom field on each People record.

Contractor+

Custom Property (Job)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ custom fields on Jobs (trade type, project address, PO number, work-site coordinates) migrate to custom fields on Twenty's Opportunity object. Like contact custom properties, FlitStack creates these fields in Twenty before the migration run. Contractor+ pick-list values on job fields are mapped to Twenty select options so that filtering and reporting in Twenty's kanban and list views remain consistent.

Contractor+

Owner / User

maps to

Twenty CRM

WorkspaceMember

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ owner assignments (sales rep, project manager) are resolved by email match against Twenty workspace members. FlitStack builds an owner-resolution table: each unique owner email in Contractor+ is matched to a Twenty WorkspaceMember record by email. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback Twenty user or marked as 'Unassigned' on the relevant record. The original owner name is preserved in a custom Owner_Source__c field for audit purposes.

Contractor+

Workflow / Automation

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workflow (manual rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ workflows (job scheduling rules, Estimatic AI triggers, automated follow-up sequences) do not have an equivalent in Twenty CRM's automation model and cannot be migrated. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as a structured JSON document that documents trigger conditions, actions, and field dependencies. This export serves as a rebuild reference for the Twenty admin or a FlitStack consultant to reconstruct equivalent automations in Twenty's workflow builder.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Twenty's 20,000-record CSV import limit forces segmented migration for large Contractor+ datasets

    Twenty's CSV import cap of 20,000 records per file means that Contractor+ workspaces with more than 20,000 combined records (clients, companies, jobs) must be segmented into multiple CSV files and imported in sequence. The import order matters: Companies first, then People (with companyId linking), then Opportunities, and finally custom objects last. FlitStack pre-splits large Contractor+ exports into ordered CSV batches that respect both the record limit and the foreign-key dependency chain. If a single object type (e.g., People) exceeds 20,000 records, further segmentation by create date or region is required before import.

  • Contractor+ has no documented public REST API — migration relies entirely on CSV exports with no delta-sync capability

    Unlike Twenty CRM which exposes REST and GraphQL APIs (100–200 req/min depending on tier), Contractor+ provides no programmatic data extraction method. All data must be exported as CSV files from the platform UI. This creates a hard cutover window: any records modified in Contractor+ between the initial export and the go-live date are not reflected in Twenty without a manual re-export. FlitStack mitigates this by running a delta-pickup export 24–48 hours before cutover and applying incremental inserts for records with modified timestamps. However, the source-side limitation is structural — Contractor+ does not support webhook-based change capture or API polling.

  • Contractor+ invoicing logic and job-scheduling automations do not exist in Twenty's standard object model

    Contractor+ builds invoicing into the core platform with line-item structures, payment status tracking, and estimate-to-invoice conversion. Twenty CRM has no native invoice object — all invoice data must be modeled as custom objects (Invoice__c, Invoice_Line__c) that FlitStack creates during migration. Similarly, Contractor+ job-scheduling rules and Estimatic AI-driven workflows cannot be expressed in Twenty's workflow builder because Twenty's workflow engine is scoped to CRM record events (create, update, assign) rather than field-service scheduling logic. These automations must be rebuilt from scratch using Twenty's workflow builder or external scheduling tools.

  • Twenty Pro tier limits custom objects to 10, which may be insufficient for contractor-specific schemas

    Contractor+ users with complex custom properties on clients, jobs, and invoices may accumulate more than 10 custom objects once FlitStack decomposes their schema. A typical contractor migration creates: Invoice__c, Invoice_Line__c, Estimate_Item__c, License__c, and Insurance__c as separate custom objects, plus additional ones for trade certifications, referral sources, and project-specific fields. Twenty's Pro tier caps custom objects at 10. FlitStack flags this constraint during the schema audit and recommends Organization-tier ($19/user/mo) or self-hosted deployment for migrations that require more than 10 custom objects. Upgrading to Organization-tier also unlocks unlimited custom objects, SAML/OIDC SSO, and 200 API req/min.

  • Contractor+ client portal access and subcontractor accounts have no direct equivalent in Twenty's permission model

    Contractor+ Pro Team includes a client portal where customers view job status, approve estimates, and sign contracts. This portal is a hosted, branded interface with role-based access that Contractor+ controls. Twenty CRM's permission model is workspace-internal — it manages access for internal users (WorkspaceMembers) but does not have a native external-facing client portal construct. Migrating client portal access requires either rebuilding it as a custom object with Twenty's API and a front-end, or accepting that clients will access their data through Twenty's standard interface with a restricted role. Subcontractor accounts in Contractor+ similarly have no direct analogue and must be modeled as People records with a custom role field.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Contractor+ to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Contractor+ data export and map to Twenty object model

    FlitStack requests CSV exports from Contractor+ covering all active objects: clients/people, companies, jobs/opportunities, invoices, and any custom-property exports available from the platform. We audit record counts, identify custom properties, and map them to Twenty's object model (People, Company, Opportunity, custom objects). The 20,000-record CSV import limit is factored in — if any object exceeds this, we pre-split exports into ordered batches. We also document which Contractor+ workflows and automations exist so they can be documented for rebuild rather than migrated.

  2. Create Twenty custom fields and objects before data loads

    Before any CSV is imported, FlitStack creates all required custom fields in Twenty: custom fields on People for Contractor+ contact properties (license number, insurance expiry, referral source), custom fields on Opportunity for job properties (trade type, project address, estimate amount), and custom objects for Invoice__c and Invoice_Line__c. Twenty Pro allows 10 custom objects maximum — if the migration exceeds this, we recommend upgrading to Organization tier before proceeding. Custom field names follow Twenty's naming conventions (camelCase or snake_case, no __c suffix in Twenty's standard naming).

  3. Import Companies first, then People, then Opportunities

    Following Twenty's documented import order, FlitStack imports CSV files in sequence: Companies first (the 'one' side of the relationship), then People with companyId links resolving to Company records, then Opportunities with personId and companyId lookups resolving to existing records. Each import generates a Twenty validation report — records with unmapped foreign keys, invalid email formats, or missing required fields are flagged in yellow in Twenty's UI for review. We correct and re-upload until the validation error rate is below the agreed threshold before committing the full migration.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff on a representative slice

    A representative slice (typically 100–500 records covering the main object types, including records with custom fields and edge cases) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff between the Contractor+ source values and the Twenty destination values so you can verify that job stages mapped correctly, owner resolution matched the right workspace members, custom field values transferred completely, and timestamps preserved the original create dates. You review the diff before the full run commits. This step also surfaces any data-quality issues (duplicate emails, missing company associations) that need cleaning before the bulk load.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration runs against Twenty CRM using the ordered CSV import sequence. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the initial export) captures any records created or modified in Contractor+ during the cutover period. FlitStack maintains a complete audit log of every record imported, the source value, the destination ID, and the transformation applied. If reconciliation reveals missing records or mismatched values, one-click rollback restores Twenty to its pre-migration state. After rollback verification, the corrected migration re-runs. Post-migration, we deliver the audit log, a record-count reconciliation report, and the workflow-definition export for your Twenty admin to rebuild automations.

Strengths

  • AGPL-3.0 open-source license with full source code on GitHub — no vendor lock-in, no sunset risk.
  • Unlimited users and unlimited custom objects on self-hosted, with no feature gating based on headcount.
  • REST and GraphQL APIs available on all paid tiers, not locked behind an enterprise add-on fee.
  • MCP server and webhooks shipped as standard features, not premium upgrades.
  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.

Most Contractor+ to Twenty CRM migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for workspaces under 25,000 total records. Larger setups exceeding 50,000 records or those requiring custom invoice objects and extensive custom-field creation extend to 5–10 days. The longest planning step is the schema audit and custom-object design in Twenty before any CSV files are loaded. Contractor+ has no API, so the entire migration runs through CSV export and Twenty's CSV import UI, which limits throughput to 20,000 records per file.
