Apps4.Pro Migration Manager is a Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration tool from JiJi Technologies Private Limited. ShareGate Migrate is a Microsoft 365 migration tool from ShareGate. The main practical difference is scope: ShareGate migrates a smaller set of Microsoft 365 workloads but supports more source platforms and identity migration; Apps4.Pro migrates a wider set of Microsoft 365 workloads, including workloads ShareGate does not currently move, but does not migrate identity.

Workloads that commonly get discovered late: 

Scope these before you choose a tool, not after. The pre-migration inventory is the cheapest hour of the project. 

Most migration projects start with the core Microsoft 365 workloads:

But these are only the visible part of your tenant.

The difficult gaps often appear when the project team discovers that employees also depend on:

What Apps4.Pro Migrates That ShareGate Does Not

ShareGate Limitations (Documented by ShareGate)

Private Chat

Private chat is unavailable. ShareGate migrates channel posts and replies, but not 1:1 or group chats. A PowerShell Copy-Chat beta was withdrawn after a 5 May 2026 notice cited message-history issues for late joiners. It sits under Near Term (PowerShell) and Looking Ahead (in-product); treat chat as out of scope. ShareGate notice ·ShareGate roadmap

Why
Merger or acquisition, full tenant consolidation
Usually the better fit

Why
Identity migration is the dividing line 
Divestiture or carve-out

ShareGate today; Apps4.Pro if you can use the open beta
Why
ShareGate’s Google support is generally available
Data-centre or regional tenant move 
Usually the better fit
Apps4.Pro
Why
Wide workload coverage matters more than source diversity.
Regulated environment on GCC High or DoD

What the entry tier actually includes: This is where the two diverge most and where the comparison is most useful. ShareGate Migrate Essentials covers SharePoint, Teams, Planner, OneDrive, and file shares. It does not include Exchange Online mailbox migration, Google Workspace, Box, Entra ID, Purview sensitivity labels, or the PowerShell module; those require Migrate Pro or Enterprise. Apps4.Pro Essentials includes Exchange mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams channels, Teams chats, and Planner with no volume limit, plus capped allowances for the additional workloads.

Where Apps4.Pro meters and ShareGate do not. Apps4.Pro caps four workloads by tier:

Migrating private chats in Microsoft Teams wasn’t as seamless as we expected 😓, finding the right tool proved to be a challenge.

We tested multiple solutions, but most had drawbacks, such as migrating only messages from a specific timeframe and having data limitations.

Apps4.Pro was the best decision 👍. it automated everything and kept chats intact with no data loss. 

We even went beyond Teams chat to migrate Forms and Power Automate too 💯.

I have to say, the Teams Migrator product has come a long way 😍 since I first started using it. The most recent migration of my client’s Teams went flawlessly!

This product is amazing and so much better 💪 when compared to the alternative Teams migration tools available that are either more expensive and do not provide the same capabilities.

Instead of Multiple Migration Tools

Which Microsoft 365 workloads does each tool support?

Both cover SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange and Teams content. Apps4.Pro also covers Viva Engage, Forms, Power Automate, Power BI, Planner and Bookings. ShareGate additionally offers Entra ID identity migration and Google Workspace as a source. See the coverage map above.

Does Apps4.Pro handle Entra ID or Google Workspace migration?

Apps4.Pro focuses on comprehensive Microsoft 365 workload migration. If Entra ID identity migration or Google Workspace as a source is central to your project, confirm current support with our team — these are areas where ShareGate has established coverage.

Is Apps4.Pro a good ShareGate alternative?

Yes – especially if your migration extends beyond SharePoint and Teams. Apps4.Pro covers those core workloads and adds Teams chat, Viva Engage, Microsoft Forms, Power Automate, Power BI, Planner and Bookings in one platform.

Is there a free trial?

Yes – Apps4.Pro offer a free 15-day trial with full support, no credit card required.

Does ShareGate migrate Teams chat?

No. ShareGate does not currently migrate Teams 1:1 or group chats. Channel posts and replies migrate, but the private chat feature was withdrawn from beta, and ShareGate’s documentation states it is disabled until further notice. ShareGate lists Teams private chat migration under Near Term on its public roadmap.

How much does Apps4.Pro cost compared with ShareGate?

Both start at $5,995 for a single-machine licence. Apps4.Pro’s five-machine Growth tier is $8,995 against ShareGate Migrate Pro at $9,995, and both top tiers start at $17,995. The more significant difference is inclusion: ShareGate Migrate Essentials excludes Exchange Online mailbox migration, while Apps4.Pro Essentials includes it with no volume limit.

Is Apps4.Pro a good alternative to ShareGate?

Apps4.Pro is a strong alternative for Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 migrations that extend beyond the four core workloads, and a poor alternative for projects that need identity migration or non-Microsoft sources. If Teams chat, Power Platform content, Planner Premium, or Viva Engage are in scope, Apps4.Pro covers ground ShareGate does not. If Entra ID, Box, file shares, or on-premises SharePoint are in scope, ShareGate is the better fit.

Does ShareGate support Entra ID and Google Workspace migration?

Yes to both, on Migrate Pro and Enterprise. Entra ID migration creates users at the destination, maps identities, and assigns licences. Google Workspace migration covers Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, and Calendar. Neither is included in ShareGate Migrate Essentials. Apps4.Pro does not offer Entra ID migration; its Google Workspace support is in open beta.

Is Apps4.Pro suitable for enterprise Microsoft 365 migrations?

Yes. The Enterprise tier supports 20 or more machine installations for parallel processing, includes an SLA with response under two hours for critical issues, and has been used for large consolidations including multi-network Viva Engage merges and Planner estates of over 1,200 plans. For regulated environments on Microsoft national clouds, confirm coverage directly before scoping.

Does Apps4.Pro support incremental migration?

Yes. Apps4.Pro supports multiple delta passes that move only new or changed content ahead of final cutover, so users can keep working in the source tenant during the project. ShareGate also supports incremental migration; its documentation notes that incremental passes do not delete items at the destination.

Can Apps4.Pro migrate Power BI and Power Automate?

Yes. Apps4.Pro migrates Power BI reports, dashboards, workspaces and semantic models, and migrates Power Automate flows between tenants. Volume is capped by licence tier at 10, 25 or 100 Power BI workspaces and 50, 100 or 200 flows, with add-on capacity available. ShareGate does not migrate either workload.

Which tool is better for Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration?

Neither is better in general; it depends on whether identity or workload breadth dominates your scope. Choose ShareGate when users have to be created and mapped at the destination, or when sources include Google Workspace, Box, or file shares. Choose Apps4.Pro when identity is handled separately, and the content scope includes Teams chat, Power Platform, Planner Premium or Viva Engage.

What is the difference between Apps4.Pro and ShareGate?

Apps4.Pro migrates more Microsoft 365 workloads, while ShareGate supports more source environments and migrates identity. Both handle SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange between tenants. Apps4.Pro adds Teams chat, Planner Premium, Viva Engage, Forms, Power Automate, Power BI, and Bookings. ShareGate adds Entra ID identity migration, Google Workspace, Box, file shares, on-premises SharePoint, and Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels.

Which migration tool supports more Microsoft 365 workloads?

Apps4.Pro supports more Microsoft 365 workloads. It covers eleven, including Teams chat, Planner Premium, Viva Engage, Forms, Power Automate, Power BI, and Bookings. ShareGate covers five: SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange Online, and Planner Basic.

Does ShareGate support Planner migration?

Yes for Planner Basic, no for Planner Premium. ShareGate migrates plans, buckets, and tasks, but its documentation states that Premium plans are not supported, that Created by and Completed by are replaced by the migration account, and that created and completed timestamps are replaced by the migration date.
