Migrate your Membrain data
B2B CRM built around guided selling and sales methodology enforcement. Teams with 90+ day deal cycles and 5–50 reps use it to lock in process discipline — not teams chasing quick transactional closes.
In its favor
Why people choose Membrain
The signal that keeps Membrain on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Guided selling enforcement keeps reps on methodology even when management is not watching — teams with strict sales processes cite this as the primary retention driver.
Per-user pricing of $49–$89/month bundles coaching and sales enablement tools that Salesforce and HubSpot only offer as expensive add-ons.
Users consistently rate Membrain 4.6/5 on G2 for intuitive design and the ability to tailor the CRM to specific sales processes without developer help.
The platform combines CRM, prospecting, pipeline management, account growth, and sales coaching in one stack — reducing the number of tools a B2B sales team must manage.
The four modular products (Prospecting, Active Pipeline, Account Growth, Elevate) let teams start with what they need and expand without a full platform overhaul.
API is gated behind a paid add-on module and rate limits are not publicly documented, making automated migrations and integrations difficult to plan.
BI-level reporting is a known gap — customers needing multi-funnel attribution or executive dashboards outgrow what Membrain offers out of the box.
The structured process enforcement that attracts methodical sales teams feels restrictive to reps used to flexibility, creating adoption friction during onboarding.
Teams with fewer than 5 reps or deals under 60 days often find the methodology overhead disproportionate to the value delivered.
Integration count is limited compared to HubSpot or Salesforce — organizations with 10+ existing tools frequently hit a ceiling.

Pricing tiers
Membrain pricing overview
Membrain charges per user per month with three platform tiers ($49–$89/user/month) and optional add-on modules (Flows, Tickets, Content Hub) that can be applied to specific users or teams. Product extensions let companies license only what they need today and add modules as their sales process matures. Lite accounts are available at a lower cost but cannot own records or use automation tools.

What gets migrated
Membrain object support
Object-by-object support for Membrain migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Companies
Fully supportedCompanies are first-class CRM records in Membrain. Standard fields include name, address, industry, and owner assignment. We map Companies directly to Account/Company objects in destination CRMs using the canonical name field as the primary key anchor.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts live under Companies and carry standard fields (name, email, phone, title) plus a rich set of custom fields. We deduplicate by email address on import and preserve the company-to-contact linkage.
Prospects
Mapping requiredProspects are distinct from Contacts and belong to the Prospecting product module. They have their own lifecycle stages and can be enrolled in automations. Where the destination CRM lacks a separate Prospect object, we merge them into Leads and preserve the source Prospect stage as a custom property.
Sales Projects
Mapping requiredSales Projects are Membrain's deal/opportunity equivalent, tied to a Company and Contact with stage, value, expected close date, and owner. Pipeline stage names and values must be mapped explicitly because Membrain allows fully custom stage sets per team. We preserve the stage history as a custom activity log when the destination does not support native stage audit trails.
Account Growth Projects
Mapping requiredAccount Growth Projects track expansion and account planning work at the Company level. They have their own workflow and custom fields. We map these to the destination's account plan or opportunity object, flagging them as expansions against the primary account record.
Activities
Fully supportedActivities cover Appointments, Calls, Notes, Emails, and Tasks. Each activity type can carry its own custom fields. We migrate Activities in chronological order and preserve the activity-to-record linkage. Activity types are configurable in Membrain so we map them to the destination's corresponding activity type labels.
Automations
Mapping requiredAutomations execute sequences of steps across Companies, Contacts, Prospects, Sales Projects, and Account Growth Projects. Enrollment can be manual, batch, or event-triggered. We export automation logic as a structured workflow definition so it can be rebuilt in the destination system — migration of automation triggers requires reconfiguration by the customer's admin.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields in Membrain use a GUID-prefixed property naming convention (CustomField{GUID}). Each custom field belongs to a specific object context. We parse the GUID from field names, map them to destination custom fields by label, and handle type conversions (picklist options, date formats, numeric precision) during import.
Users
Mapping requiredMembrain distinguishes Full User accounts (can own records, trigger automations, import/export) from Lite accounts (read-only access to CRM data). We map Full users to active user seats in the destination and Lite users to read-only contacts or team members, flagging which records they should not be assigned as owners of.
Teams
Mapping requiredTeams group users and can be assigned as record owners. Team structure is exportable but the team-to-user membership must be mapped explicitly since team naming conventions vary between CRMs.
Tickets
Mapping requiredTickets are an add-on module. They have their own workflow stages, custom fields, and assignment rules. We map Ticket records to the destination's ticket or case object and preserve the assignment and status fields.
Content Hub
Not in this platformContent Hub stores sales content, templates, and collateral. We do not migrate binary content assets. We export the content library metadata (names, categories, associated record links) as a reference file so the customer can re-upload files to the destination's content library manually.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredPipeline stages are fully customizable per Sales Project type. We extract the complete stage definition including names, probabilities, and ordering, then map each stage to the destination pipeline's corresponding stage by position and intent.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments linked to records are migrated as file references where API access permits. Large binary attachments may require the customer to re-upload manually post-migration.
