Migrate your Lime CRM data
Nordic industry-specific CRM with deep configurability and a generous included-features model. Customers tailor it to insurance, real estate, or professional services with custom fields and workflows rather than buying add-ons.
In its favor
Why people choose Lime CRM
The signal that keeps Lime CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Deep configurability lets superadmins customise the database structure without developer support, meaning each team gets a CRM shaped to their industry workflow rather than adapting to a rigid schema.
All core features are included from the Start tier without add-on purchases, giving smaller teams access to workflow automations, BI questions, and document templates at a predictable per-user cost.
Customer support is consistently rated responsive and helpful across G2 and Capterra reviews, reducing the friction of day-to-day issues during and after migration.
Industry-specific variants are available for insurance, real estate, and professional services, meaning deal stages, ticket categories, and data fields are pre-matched to sector-specific terminology.
The platform can run hosted or on the customer's own server, giving organisations control over data residency and compliance requirements that prevent them from choosing pure SaaS alternatives.
Integrations are reported as limited and immature, forcing teams to log emails manually rather than having them auto-linked to customer records, deal profiles, or company accounts.
The desktop client is described as slow by multiple reviewers, particularly when navigating large datasets or running reports across custom objects.
Global CRM competitors offer richer native feature sets out of the box, so teams requiring advanced marketing automation, AI-powered lead scoring, or built-in calling often find Lime CRM requires more customisation to match feature parity.
Feature depth is described as limited compared to platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot, with some mid-market teams citing insufficient advanced capabilities as they scale beyond 50–200 users.

Pricing tiers
Lime CRM pricing overview
Lime CRM charges per user per month starting at €55 on the Start tier. Business tier pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires a sales conversation. Enterprise pricing is custom. All tiers include core features; the difference is in limits on BI questions, automations, and storage rather than gating features behind add-ons.

What gets migrated
Lime CRM object support
Object-by-object support for Lime CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Companies
Fully supportedCompanies (sometimes called Accounts in Lime CRM) hold the organisational record with address, industry, and relationship to Contacts. Standard fields map cleanly across CRMs. We preserve the company-contact relationship during migration to avoid orphaned Contact records.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the primary person record linked to Companies. Name, email, phone, and custom properties are fully exportable. We normalise phone formats to prevent leading-zero stripping that commonly occurs in CSV exports.
Deals
Fully supportedDeals track the sales opportunity with value, stage, owner, and expected close date. Lime CRM allows custom deal pipelines and stages per industry. We map source stages to destination pipeline stages and flag any deprecated stages before import.
Activities
Fully supportedActivities represent logged calls, meetings, tasks, and notes attached to a Contact or Deal. We export these as chronological activity records and reconstruct the parent-child relationship in the destination system.
Tickets
Fully supportedTicket support is a core part of Lime CRM's helpdesk orientation. We migrate Ticket records with status, priority, assignee, and conversation history. Conversation messages require reassembly from individual exports.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments are exported individually per record, potentially multiple files per Contact or Deal. We batch and rename files to preserve the parent relationship and flag any files exceeding 25 MB before upload to avoid API rejection.
Custom Objects (Limetypes)
Mapping requiredLime CRM's schema is built around configurable Limetypes. Custom objects require field-level mapping because their schema varies per customer implementation. We treat each custom Limetype as a separate export job and validate the schema before import.
Workflow Automations
Mapping requiredAutomations streamline ticket assignments and follow-up sequences. These rules do not export in a transferable format, so we document the automation logic from Lime CRM and reproduce equivalent rules in the destination platform as part of migration scoping.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags label Contacts, Deals, and Tickets for segmentation. We export tag values as a flat list per record and recreate tag taxonomies in the destination CRM, noting any platform differences in tag inheritance.
Users and Owners
Fully supportedUser records and Deal owners are mapped by email address. We validate that destination user accounts exist before assigning ownership to avoid orphaned records with null owner fields.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocuments are stored alongside Deals and Contacts with auto-fill templates. The export contains the document blob and its metadata. Template auto-fill fields require mapping to the destination system's equivalent fields.
