What switching between them involves

Both vendors say you can export your data. In Less Annoying CRM it is Settings, then Export data, for admins only. Little Green Light describes a three-step import: prepare the data, upload and map fields, then review and save. It says there is no cancellation fee if you leave.

Moving to Little Green Light, decide how groups and pipeline stages become constituent categories before uploading. Moving the other way, gift history has no home in Less Annoying CRM beyond notes or custom fields, so keep the export file. Warning: closing a Less Annoying CRM account takes effect immediately, so export first. The export and exit checklist lists what to save.
