How does Zeffy's donor management work without monthly fees?

What happens to my donor data if I switch from CharityEngine or ClearView CRM?
Zeffy makes switching simple with data import tools that bring over your donor information, giving history, and contact details. Unlike expensive systems that lock you in with complex contracts, Zeffy gives you full control of your data from day one - no setup fees or cancellation penalties.
