A Rocketlane alternative for customer data migration
If migration is why you're looking at Rocketlane, you don't need a new onboarding platform. Rubie gets a new customer's history out of the system they're leaving, even with no API or clean export, cleans and transforms it, has your team review it, and loads it into your product. Your onboarding tool stays where it is.

Why run the migration on Rubie
Keep your onboarding tool. Add the migration.
Rocketlane's Migration agent is part of its platform, and no way to buy it on its own is listed. Rubie is a separate product that does one job. Rocketlane runs onboarding projects. We finish the migration.
Built for the old system that won't export
In Rubie's own data, 95% of sources have no clean API or export that captures all the data needed. So Rubie starts at the login screen: it signs in, handles 2FA, captcha and saved sessions, and pulls the history out of portals, legacy apps and large PDFs. Rocketlane says its agent extracts from legacy tools directly. It doesn't say how, and its demo runs on three uploaded files.
See the six stepsWritten straight into your product
Rocketlane's demo ends before the load, and Rocketlane doesn't say how the load happens. We say how. Rubie's last step writes each record through your REST API, creating or updating it, with a write receipt for every operation. Before that, your team approves, rejects or edits records in a configurable review queue, and each decision goes into an audit trail.
Clean up a JSON export yourselfWin the deals that stall on the old system
The objection sounds like this: "We love the product — but we can't move off [legacy system] without losing our historical data." When your onboarding team can get the data out of that system without engineers or consultants, sales can answer that objection before the deal stalls. By Rubie's own numbers, migration timelines run 50-90% shorter on average.
How Migration Playbooks work
Questions about switching from Rocketlane
How much does Rocketlane cost?
Rocketlane lists Standard at $49 and Premium at $69 per team member per month, billed annually, with a five-member minimum, plus a custom-priced Enterprise plan and a 14-day trial. Implementation packages cost extra. The Migration agent sits in Nitro Enterprise, a talk-to-sales tier, and Rocketlane offers your first migration at no charge. So neither of us publishes a price for migration. Ours is quoted per customer, because it depends on your customers and their data. There's no free trial: you start with an intro call.
Can I buy Rocketlane's Migration Agent on its own?
Rocketlane lists the Migration agent under Nitro Enterprise and doesn't list a way to buy it without the platform (as of October 2026). Rubie is sold on its own and works alongside whatever onboarding tool you use.
How hard is it to switch from Rocketlane to Rubie?
There's nothing to move. Rubie doesn't hold your project plans or customer portal, so they stay wherever you run onboarding today. You run your next customer's migration in Rubie instead: book a call, and Rubie maps their old system and builds the workflow that gets their data into your product.
What if the customer's old system has no API or export?
That's the case Rubie is built for, and it's most of them: in Rubie's own data, 95% of sources have no clean API or export that captures all the data needed. Rubie signs in to the old system, 2FA and captcha included, and gets the history out of the portal, the legacy app or the large PDF it lives in.
Is Rubie secure enough for enterprise customers' data?
Rubie is SOC 2 Type II compliant and HIPAA compliant, and supports SSO through SAML or OIDC. Credentials for the old system are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and scoped to a single workflow run. Before anything loads, records go through a configurable review queue where your team approves, rejects or edits them, with an audit trail.
