Switching email tools? Start with what actually carries over.
PortMyMail publishes hands-on guides for moving between email marketing tools — and honest comparisons of what each tool really costs as your list grows. Every guide is tested step by step with real accounts before it is published, including the parts official documentation leaves out: how fields map, what happens to your tags, and whether automations survive the move.

How we test
We create free accounts on both sides of a migration, seed a small test list with tags and custom fields, run the provider’s own migration tool, and then check — record by record — what arrived, what changed shape, and what quietly disappeared. Where a claim could not be tested, the article says so. Read more in How we test email tool migrations.
