How difficult is migrating from Marketo to Conversion?

Migration is smooth and fast with your dedicated deployment strategy team. Most customers fully transition in 2 to 6 weeks depending on scope.

Can Conversion match Marketo’s feature depth?

Yes, and more. Conversion is built for enterprise scale with advanced syncing pipelines, powerful workflow logic, and granular segmentation that outperforms legacy systems.

What does AI native actually mean?

AI native means Conversion was designed with AI at the foundation. Every feature runs with AI level performance, low latency, and built-in guardrails that keep your content accurate, consistent, and reliable at scale.

How is Conversion's data model better than Marketo?

While Marketo has a robust SFDC sync, it lacks many features that allow marketing teams to run their operations efficiently. Conversion allows you to configure field mappings, syncing rules, and read/write rules. We also support contact-only data models, querying company and opportunity data, and custom objects.

How does Conversion pricing differ from Marketo?

Unlike legacy marketing platforms that charge on total database contacts, Conversion only charges on marketable contacts. This means you can store as many contacts as you want without paying extra or feeling pressure to shrink your database.
