Migration support varies by app and category. Convi: AI Helpdesk & Chatbot and SB: Helpdesk, Live Chat & FAQs both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Convi: AI Helpdesk & Chatbot" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
