Migrate your CRM.io by 500apps data
Budget all-in-one CRM bundled with 49 other apps at $14.99/user/month. The low price is real, but so are the trade-offs: no public API, no customization, and the entire 500apps platform is actively shutting down.
In its favor
Why people choose CRM.io by 500apps
The signal that keeps CRM.io by 500apps on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
The $14.99/user/month price includes access to all 50 apps in the 500apps suite, making it the lowest-cost entry point for a bundled CRM-plus- productivity toolkit.
The interface is described as surprisingly simple by multiple reviewers, with a manageable learning curve for small teams moving from spreadsheets or legacy tools.
Users value having lead management, deal tracking, contact management, and basic sales automation in one place without needing to configure complex integrations.
The platform supports English, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, making it accessible for SMBs operating in multiple European markets.
Multiple reviewers cite the all-in-one nature as the draw — inventory management, email, helpdesk, and CRM under a single subscription and login.
The entire 500apps suite entered a 90-day wind-down announced on the product page, pushing customers toward migration or the new 500agents platform with no clarity on data retention timelines.
A Capterra reviewer reported that Forms.io responses do not integrate with CRM.io despite being in the same suite, and support was unhelpful — a pattern of integration failures within the bundled ecosystem.
No public API is documented for CRM.io, meaning teams outgrow it quickly once they need programmatic access, integrations, or automated data pipelines.
A reviewer gave 1 star citing 'Never give them your credit card' with no specifics, indicating cancellation and billing complaints are present in the customer base.
Multiple review sources note that the review ecosystem on third-party sites is heavily weighted toward incentivized reviews, making independent assessment of quality difficult.

What gets migrated
CRM.io by 500apps object support
Object-by-object support for CRM.io by 500apps migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedCRM.io Contact records hold name, email, phone, and company association. We export these directly as CSV rows and map them 1:1 to Contacts in the destination CRM.
Leads
Fully supportedLead records in CRM.io are standalone with name, source, status, and owner fields. We export Leads to Leads (or merge to Contacts where the destination lacks a separate Lead object) preserving lead status as a custom property.
Accounts
Fully supportedAccount/Company records store business name, industry, size, and address data. We map these to Companies/Accounts in the destination CRM, preserving Account-to-Contact associations via a lookup table built during the export phase.
Deals
Mapping requiredDeals in CRM.io carry stage, value, close date, and owner. We preserve the Account-to-Deal link using a compound key approach since there is no API and we are working from CSV exports. Pipeline stage names vary between CRMs so we map them field-by-field during transformation.
Activities
Mapping requiredActivities (calls, emails, tasks, meetings) link to Contacts or Deals. CSV exports may not preserve the parent object ID reliably. We reconstruct associations using date and subject matching as a fallback when direct IDs are absent.
Documents
Mapping requiredCRM.io supports Document Management for attached files. We export the metadata (filename, type, associated record) via CSV. File attachments themselves are handled as bulk binary transfers requiring manual re-upload or a file-sharing handoff at migration completion.
Custom Fields
Not in this platformCRM.io explicitly states 'Customization Possible: No' in published specifications. There are no documented custom fields, custom objects, or extended schemas to migrate.
Tags
Mapping requiredContacts and Deals can be tagged in CRM.io. Tags export as comma-separated values in the CSV. We expand these into a Tags array or multi-select field in the destination CRM.
Users/Owners
Mapping requiredCRM.io assigns record ownership to Users. We map Owner names to User emails or IDs in the destination CRM via a lookup table provided by the customer during scoping.
Pipelines
Mapping requiredCRM.io supports pipeline stages for Deals. Stage names are configurable within CRM.io but there is no public API to retrieve the active pipeline configuration. We infer stage order from deal records and map them to the destination pipeline structure during migration setup.
Email Templates
Not in this platformEmail Templates exist within CRM.io but are not exported via standard CSV. We do not migrate Email Templates. Customers should manually export these from within the CRM UI if needed.
Sales Forecasting
Not in this platformForecasting in CRM.io is a reporting view derived from Deals data. Historical forecast snapshots are not independently exported. We recommend rebuilding forecasts in the destination CRM from migrated deal data.
