If you may switch
Protect the business before changing the software.
No comparison page can promise a perfect transfer. Export first, verify the details that matter to current clients, and keep the old system available until the new path works.
- Use Studio Ninja's migration service when moving into Studio Ninja, and request an export before leaving it.
- Inventory contacts, leads, active jobs, workflows, contracts, questionnaires, invoices, and email templates.
- Keep website and gallery migrations as separate workstreams because Studio Ninja is the CRM layer.
- Verify every open job and payment state before switching the live workflow.
