  The practical differences

How does Relaticle compare to Attio?
------------------------------------

Both offer AI and MCP. The bigger differences are who controls the software, where it runs and how you pay as your team grows.

  Which CRM fits your team?
-------------------------

Start with the work your team needs to do. Switching only makes sense if the tradeoffs work in your favor.

### Choose Relaticle when...

- You want control over hosting, backups and the source code behind your CRM.
- You manage people, companies and sales opportunities, with custom fields for your process.
- You want unlimited teammates on a flat cloud subscription, or can operate your own installation.

### Attio may fit better when...

- Your team relies on automatic enrichment, synced email and calendar activity, or Attio-specific apps.
- Your workflow needs custom objects and relationships beyond Relaticle's supported record types.
- Attio's free plan already covers your team, and self-hosting or source access would not help you.

  A practical migration path

Try a small move first.
-----------------------

Bring a sample of your Attio records into Relaticle. Check the fields, relationships and workflow before moving the rest of your team.

 Attio Deals Opportunities 

  [Read the import guide](https://relaticle.com/help/import) 

1. 1### Export the fields you need

    In Attio, include the columns you need and review the view filters. Click Save for everyone, then export the view as CSV.
2. 2### Prepare your fields and relationships

    Create matching custom fields in Relaticle. Start with companies, then people, then deals. Use company domains and contact emails to link related records.
3. 3### Map columns and review a sample

    Import five to ten rows first. Attio deals become Relaticle opportunities. Keep Attio record IDs out of Relaticle's Record ID mapping.
4. 4### Check the result before importing more

    Review which records will be created, updated or skipped. Check the imported relationships and field values. Then repeat with your remaining records.

 ### What an Attio export leaves out

**Enriched values are excluded.** Attio exports manually added data, but enriched values appear as empty cells. [Export rules](https://attio.com/help/reference/imports-exports/exporting-lists-and-views)

**Email history is not included.** Attio's workspace backup excludes emails. Keep a separate plan for that history. [Backup limits](https://attio.com/help/reference/imports-exports/back-up-your-workspace-data)

**Your setup needs rebuilding.** CSV imports do not recreate workflows, apps or permissions. Check any custom objects before deciding to switch.

   Before you switch
-----------------

Straight answers to common questions about leaving Attio.

   Is Attio open source?  No. Attio is a proprietary SaaS CRM. Relaticle publishes its CRM source code under AGPL-3.0, so you can inspect, modify and self-host it.

    Can I self-host Attio?  Attio does not offer a self-hosted version. You can self-host Relaticle without a software license fee. You manage the server, updates and backups.

    Is Relaticle cheaper than Attio?  It depends on your team and usage. Attio offers a free plan for small teams, then charges per user on paid plans. Relaticle Cloud charges per workspace, with unlimited users. Compare AI usage costs as well as the subscription.

    Do both CRMs have an MCP server?  Yes. Attio has an official MCP server on every plan. Relaticle also has a first-party MCP server, available in the cloud and when self-hosted. Both can connect supported AI tools to your CRM.

    Can I move my entire Attio workspace with a CSV?  No. CSV imports move supported records and mapped fields. They do not recreate Attio workflows, apps, permissions or synced email history. Map custom objects to supported Relaticle records and test a small sample before committing to a migration.

  Make your next CRM an informed choice.

Start a workspace, bring a few records and try your actual sales workflow. See whether Relaticle fits before you move.
