Migrate your Favro data
Collaborative planning platform built around Cards, Boards, and Collections for cross-team alignment in tech and games companies.
In its favor
Why people choose Favro
The signal that keeps Favro on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Cards-on-multiple-boards architecture lets cross-functional teams track the same work item from different workflow perspectives without duplicating records, a pattern reviewers describe as giving both the 50,000-foot view and the 50-foot view in one dataset.
Real-time collaborative editing with OAuth via Google and GitHub reduces friction for engineering and games teams already authenticated in those ecosystems, according to G2 reviewers who call the interface intuitive and easy to customize.
Unlimited storage and unlimited boards on Standard and Enterprise plans means teams never hit storage walls when scaling epics or backlogs across multiple product lines.
Enterprise-grade compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, and PCI DSS makes Favro viable for organizations in regulated industries that still want agile planning tooling.
The Collection model lets management see an aggregated view of multiple boards on a single screen, which G2 reviewers cite as valuable for senior visibility without requiring engineers to restructure their team-level boards.
The user-bucket billing model charges by tier (2, 5, 10, 25, 50+) rather than actual headcount, so a 6-person team pays for 10 seats — a pattern that frustrates reviewers who expect per-seat precision.
The Standard plan's 1,000 API calls/month ceiling is severely limiting for programmatic exports or integrations, and the lack of a publicly documented bulk API means large workspace migrations require careful pagination and retry logic.
No single-user plan exists, making Favro impractical for solo practitioners or two-person startups who want to evaluate the tool before committing to the minimum 2-user bucket.
Dashboards on Standard are limited — not all widgets are available — which reviewers looking for portfolio-level reporting find disappointing compared to the full Enterprise feature set.
Automations are capped at 5,000 actions/month on Standard, and teams with high-frequency workflow triggers find themselves pushed toward Enterprise pricing to avoid hitting the ceiling.

Pricing tiers
Favro pricing overview
Favro uses per-user, per-month pricing with annual billing at a 15% discount. Pricing is bucket-based: teams are charged at the next tier (2, 5, 10, 25, 50+) rather than actual seat count, meaning a 6-person team pays for 10 seats. Lite starts at $5.1/user/month, Standard at $6.8/user/month, and Enterprise at approximately $27.5/user/month. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card.

What gets migrated
Favro object support
Object-by-object support for Favro migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Cards
Fully supportedCards are Favro's atomic work unit — tasks, goals, user stories, or any unit of work. We migrate Cards 1:1 as the primary payload. Each Card carries title, description, assignee, due date, labels, and custom fields. We flag Cards that exist on multiple Boards to ensure cross-board relationships are preserved in the destination as tags or linked records.
Boards
Fully supportedBoards represent individual workflows and can display Cards in Kanban, sheet, or timeline view. We migrate Boards with their configured columns, swimlanes, and Card ordering intact. Board-level permissions are mapped to the destination's access-control model.
Collections
Fully supportedCollections aggregate multiple Boards on a single screen for team or management-level visibility. We preserve Collection membership so the destination receives the same board-grouping structure. Collections with private visibility are flagged for special handling.
Relations
Mapping requiredRelations link Cards and Boards across teams to model dependencies or cross-functional ownership. We map Relations to the destination's linking mechanism — linked records, tag pairs, or custom relation fields — depending on what the destination platform supports natively.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on Cards are supported on Standard and Enterprise plans. We map custom field values field-by-field, handling type differences (dropdown, date, number, text) between Favro and the destination schema.
Labels/Tags
Fully supportedLabels applied to Cards for categorization are migrated as tags in the destination. We preserve label colors and names and deduplicate any label collisions during import.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on Cards are migrated via Favro's stored links or re-uploaded to the destination's attachment storage. We handle attachments that reference external URLs separately from inline file uploads.
Comments
Fully supportedComments on Cards, including threaded replies, are migrated as chronological comment records in the destination, preserving author, timestamp, and content.
Automations
Mapping requiredAutomations trigger actions based on Card events. We document automation rules as part of migration scoping but do not replay them in the destination — instead we flag which workflows require rebuilding in the target platform's automation engine.
External Members
Mapping requiredExternal members and guest accounts have limited access in Favro. We map them to the destination's equivalent guest or external user model, flagging accounts that may need access restrictions reapplied post-migration.
Dashboards
Mapping requiredDashboards aggregate Board and Card metrics into widgets. We migrate widget configurations as a dashboard export record, but the destination's dashboard engine may require manual recreation of chart types not available on Standard plans.
Timesheets
Mapping requiredTimesheet tracking is available only on the Enterprise plan. We map timesheet entries as time records against the relevant Card, preserving hours logged, date, and user attribution.
