Overview

What this migration involves

Lead Guerrilla functions primarily as a marketing automation layer over a CRM backend — its core objects are contacts, companies, campaigns, segments, and multi-channel campaign actions (email, SMS, Twitter, web notifications). It stores lead-scoring values, campaign enrollment history, and segment membership as primary data. HubSpot CRM natively models contacts with lifecycle_stage, companies as separate account records, deals with pipeline-and-stage tracking, and uses workflows and lists for automation logic. These models overlap at the contact and company level but diverge significantly on automation architecture, lead scoring, and multi-channel campaign handling. FlitStack AI extracts your Lead Guerrilla data via its API, maps contacts to HubSpot contacts (preserving email, phone, jobtitle, address fields), maps Lead Guerrilla companies to HubSpot companies, translates campaign enrollment records into HubSpot workflow enrollments or association properties, and moves lead-score values into HubSpot custom properties. Segments that define audience filters become HubSpot lists. Multi-channel campaign actions (SMS, Twitter, web notification steps) cannot migrate as functional workflows — HubSpot's email sequences and SMS tools require separate configuration. Owner and user resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users before migration commits.

Leaving

Lead Guerrilla

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform has an extremely small market footprint (reportedly fewer than 20 companies using it as of 2025), making peer reviews, community support, and third-party integrations scarce compared to established marketing automation tools.
  • Lead Guerrilla has no publicly documented REST API or developer portal, making it difficult to export data programmatically, integrate with modern tools, or automate anything outside the built-in workflow builder.
  • The tight coupling with 1CRM as both parent product and primary integration point means teams that outgrow 1CRM or want to use a different CRM are effectively locked out of the platform's core value proposition.
  • Hidden overage fees for exceeding contact or email limits can catch small businesses off guard, with ITQlick reporting unexpected charges ranging from $50 to $500 per incident.
  • The platform competes against tools like MailChimp, Klaviyo, and HubSpot Marketing Hub, all of which offer substantially larger feature sets, better documentation, and richer ecosystems at comparable or lower price points.

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Lead Guerrilla objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Lead Guerrilla object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Lead Guerrilla

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. All standard properties (name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. The contact's original create date is preserved as a custom datetime field since HubSpot's Createdate is set at import time. Custom fields unique to your Lead Guerrilla setup are also migrated as additional properties, provided they are pre-created in HubSpot.

Lead Guerrilla

Company

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla company records map to HubSpot companies. Domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue fields migrate to their HubSpot equivalents. Multi-company associations per contact collapse to HubSpot's primary-company model. If your Lead Guerrilla data includes additional company-level custom fields, those are exported and recreated as custom properties in HubSpot prior to the migration.

Lead Guerrilla

Campaign

maps to

HubSpot

Workflow + List

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla campaigns do not have a direct HubSpot equivalent because HubSpot separates email sequences, SMS, and social into distinct tools. We export campaign metadata (name, description, create date) as a HubSpot custom object record and map campaign enrollment to a HubSpot list membership or workflow-enrollment custom property.

Lead Guerrilla

Segment

maps to

HubSpot

List (static or dynamic)

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla segments define contact-filter logic for audience targeting. We translate segment filter criteria into HubSpot list-builder criteria. Dynamic segments become HubSpot dynamic lists; static segments become HubSpot static lists. Segment membership history is preserved as a property on each contact.

Lead Guerrilla

Lead Score

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property (numeric)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot has no native lead-score field. We create a custom numeric property (Lead_Score__c equivalent via HubSpot property name) and migrate the Lead Guerrilla score value per contact. HubSpot's own predictive lead scoring tool must be configured separately post-migration. Your team should evaluate whether to continue using the legacy scores or adopt HubSpot's predictive model.

Lead Guerrilla

Campaign Enrollment Record

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property + List membership

many:1
Fully supported

A Lead Guerrilla contact's enrollment in a campaign is stored as a record linking contact ID to campaign ID. We merge these into a HubSpot list membership for the corresponding campaign-list and write the enrollment date as a custom datetime property on the contact.

Lead Guerrilla

Email send / open / click record

maps to

HubSpot

Email activity (logged via HubSpot activity)

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla tracks email send, open, and click events as activity records. These are logged to HubSpot's contact timeline as engagement events. Historical open and click counts migrate as custom number properties if HubSpot's native engagement tracking cannot backfill them.

Lead Guerrilla

SMS send record

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property (SMS_history__c)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot SMS history is tracked within the HubSpot SMS tool and does not have a portable API export. We preserve SMS send records as a JSON-formatted custom property on the contact for reference. The actual SMS threads must be re-established in HubSpot's SMS tool post-migration.

Lead Guerrilla

Twitter / social engagement record

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property (Social_Engagement__c)

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla's social-channel campaign actions (Twitter mentions, web notifications) have no HubSpot equivalent. Social engagement records from Lead Guerrilla are preserved as custom properties on the contact record. HubSpot social inbox handles future social interactions separately. If you rely on historical Twitter engagement metrics for reporting, those values remain accessible through the custom property but will not trigger HubSpot workflows.

Lead Guerrilla

Landing Page submission

maps to

HubSpot

Form submission (via HubSpot form)

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla landing page submissions map to HubSpot form submissions. Each submission is logged on the contact timeline with the original submission date and UTM source fields preserved. Landing page configuration is exported as a rebuild reference for HubSpot native forms.

Lead Guerrilla

Custom Object (if applicable)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla allows custom data objects beyond contacts and companies. These map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects. All custom field definitions are exported and recreated in HubSpot before data migration runs. N:N associations between custom objects require HubSpot junction objects.

Lead Guerrilla

Owner / User

maps to

HubSpot

User

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla owner IDs are resolved by email match against HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite them to HubSpot first or assign their records to a designated fallback owner. This prevents orphan records in HubSpot.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Lead Guerrilla campaign multi-channel actions have no functional HubSpot equivalent

    Lead Guerrilla campaigns fire sequences across email, SMS, Twitter, and web notifications within a single campaign definition. HubSpot separates these into email sequences (Sales Hub), SMS broadcasts (SMS tool), and social publishing (Social inbox) with no unified campaign canvas. FlitStack exports campaign metadata and enrollment history as reference records, but the automation logic itself must be rebuilt inside HubSpot's separate tools. Email sequences, SMS templates, and social post workflows each require manual configuration post-migration.

  • HubSpot has no native lead-score field — custom property required

    Lead Guerrilla stores a numeric lead score on each contact, computed from behavioral and demographic signals. HubSpot has no native equivalent field — teams that want lead scoring in HubSpot must either configure HubSpot's Predictive Lead Scoring (available at higher tiers) or use a third-party scoring tool. We preserve the Lead Guerrilla score value as a HubSpot custom numeric property (lead_score__c) so historical scores are available for reporting, but HubSpot will not automatically update this value without separate scoring configuration.

  • Lead Guerrilla lifecycle is not enforced — HubSpot lifecycle_stage must be initialized

    Lead Guerrilla does not assign a lifecycle stage to contacts; status is implied by campaign enrollment and segment membership. HubSpot's entire reporting and automation model depends on lifecyclestage being populated. We initialize lifecyclestage on all migrated contacts based on their most recent campaign enrollment or default to 'subscriber' for contacts with no enrollment history. If your team used informal status conventions in Lead Guerrilla, those conventions must be mapped explicitly before migration — otherwise all contacts land as the same lifecycle stage in HubSpot.

  • Lead Guerrilla SMS and social engagement history cannot be functionally imported into HubSpot

    HubSpot's SMS tool and social inbox do not expose importable activity records via API — they track engagement from the point of activation forward. Lead Guerrilla SMS send records and Twitter/social engagement events are preserved as JSON custom properties on the contact (sm_s_history__c, social_engagement__c) for reference, but they do not appear as actionable HubSpot timeline events. Teams should plan to review SMS opt-in status and social connection setup separately in HubSpot post-migration.

  • Lead Guerrilla segment filter logic requires manual translation into HubSpot list-builder

    Lead Guerrilla segments use their own filter criteria syntax to define audience groups. These do not export as executable logic. We export segment names and filter definitions as reference properties on contacts (segment_names__c) and document the filter criteria. HubSpot's list-builder UI must be used manually to recreate each segment as a HubSpot list. For segments with complex nested criteria, this translation can take significant admin time and should be planned before go-live.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Lead Guerrilla to HubSpot data migration

  1. Extract Lead Guerrilla data via API

    FlitStack connects to Lead Guerrilla's API using scoped read access. We extract all contacts, companies, campaign enrollment records, segment membership data, lead score values, landing page submission history, and any custom objects. Data is paginated in batches to respect API rate limits. The export includes original create timestamps, last-modified timestamps, owner IDs, and all custom field values. This step runs read-only — your Lead Guerrilla account remains fully operational throughout.

  2. Map Lead Guerrilla data model to HubSpot schema

    We translate Lead Guerrilla contacts to HubSpot contacts, companies to HubSpot companies, and campaign enrollment records to a combination of HubSpot list membership and custom properties on each contact. Lead score values are flagged for custom property creation in HubSpot. Segment definitions are exported as reference data for HubSpot list-builder translation. All field names are mapped value-by-value, with pick-list value mapping applied for industry and country fields. Custom field definitions are identified and flagged for HubSpot pre-creation before data import.

  3. Create HubSpot custom properties and list structure

    Before importing data, our team creates all required custom properties in HubSpot: lead_score__c, original_create_date__c, source_system_id__c, segment_names__c, campaign_lists__c, and others identified during the mapping phase. Lead Guerrilla segments are documented as a translation guide for your HubSpot admin to recreate as HubSpot lists. This step requires HubSpot admin credentials with permission to create custom properties. We deliver a property creation checklist and validate that all custom fields are available in HubSpot before the import begins.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level validation

    A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 contacts spanning different segments, companies, and campaign enrollment histories — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing source values against HubSpot destination values so you can verify lead score mapping, lifecycle stage initialization, company association resolution, and segment property population. You review the sample before the full migration commits. This step surfaces mapping gaps early so they can be corrected without reprocessing the entire dataset.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates into HubSpot in sequenced batches: companies first, then contacts, then custom objects and activity history. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Lead Guerrilla during the cutover window. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals missing or mismatched records, one-click rollback is available. After final validation, your team transitions to HubSpot as the system of record.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Lead Guerrilla logo

Lead Guerrilla

Source

Strengths

  • Multi-channel campaign delivery across email, SMS, Twitter, and web notifications from a single interface.
  • Integrated landing page and web form builder with visitor tracking and A/B testing capabilities.
  • Native tight integration with 1CRM for seamless lead-to-record synchronization.
  • Lead scoring engine that automatically ranks prospects based on interaction behavior.
  • Flexible month-to-month billing with no long-term contract required.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented REST API or developer portal, severely limiting programmatic data export and third-party integrations.
  • Extremely small market footprint with very few independent user reviews, making peer validation difficult.
  • Pricing is opaque and requires a sales quote, with hidden overage fees for contact and email volume.
  • Primary integration is locked to 1CRM, making the platform impractical for teams using any other CRM.
  • Scarce third-party ecosystem; limited connector availability compared to HubSpot, MailChimp, or Klaviyo.

Destination

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most Lead Guerrilla to HubSpot migrations complete in 24–72 hours of clock time for datasets under 20,000 contacts. Larger setups with 100,000+ records, complex segment logic, or multiple custom objects extend to 5–10 days. The longest step is translating Lead Guerrilla segment filter criteria into HubSpot list-builder criteria manually — that planning work happens before data migration runs and is not included in the data-transfer clock time.
