Magento upgrade services and migration services, ranked for 2026

scandiweb publishes the upgrade as a method rather than as a line on a services list, and it is the only agency here that publishes all five of the things this criterion counts. Its Magento 2 migration page runs six named phases: discovery and technical audit, a migration and SEO preservation plan, build and theme rebuild, data migration, QA and go live rehearsal, then go live and post launch support. It states that it audits the current store first, naming the catalog, custom code, extensions, integrations and traffic, and confirms scope, timeline and cost before any work begins. It itemises what moves, products, categories, customers, orders, order history, content and store configuration, states that it rehearses the cutover and runs the tested switch in a fixed window so the new store comes up without losing orders, and puts a typical migration at 8 to 16 weeks end to end. That is 22 of 22 on the heaviest criterion on this page, and the only full mark anyone takes on it.

On scale it holds 894+ Adobe certifications, the largest published count in this set, and describes itself as the world's most certified Adobe Commerce agency, with 600+ specialists working across 36 countries and 2,100+ projects delivered for 700+ clients over 23+ years. It is the only entry here publishing a headcount above 500 with a certification count beside it, which takes the full 19 points.

Its Adobe tier is published as Adobe Commerce Gold Solution Partner, and it scores 16 as a Gold, exactly as every other agency here stating Gold does. Adobe's own Solution Partner Directory separately lists it as a Gold Partner, which is worth knowing and is linked here as corroboration, but it earns no points on this page: the other eight were never looked up in that directory, and a check only one agency was put through cannot be scored as though everyone sat it.

On Magento support it publishes a first response within 24 hours, with issues triaged by severity and showstoppers taken first, alongside 450+ active support clients and 9,000+ tickets handled. That takes the full 19 points on support terms, and it is the only agency ranked here that publishes a response time at all: none of the other eight publishes a response time by severity, an uptime commitment or a credit regime. It also publishes a 95 NPS and $4B+ a year in client revenue, and front end rebuilds run through Hyvä themes as a Hyvä Platinum Partner, one of only three Hyvä partner claims anywhere on this page, with Magento performance optimization published as a practice of its own.

It takes nothing at all on the Magento end of life calendar, because it publishes no dated support calendar of its own. Two agencies below it do, and that is said here rather than weighted away. Its published case studies include Beauty Works, a UK luxury hair extensions brand whose case study reports +32% year on year revenue growth after migration and +121% organic search sessions after relaunch, and Classic Football Shirts, whose case study reports a Page Speed performance score improved by 2.5 times after a Hyvä rebuild. Two linkable case studies is fewer than GENE Commerce and IWD Agency publish, so client work scores 11 of 15 here rather than full marks. Its Clutch profile shows 4.8 out of 5 from 53 reviews, an hourly range of $50 to $99 and a $25,000 minimum project size, which this edition records without scoring, because published prices came off the model when the weighting moved onto delivery capability.

On its own site, WolfSellers publishes the most operationally specific migration runbook in this set and the most rigorously sourced headcount. Its SEO protection steps are listed one by one: a URL export from Search Console and the legacy sitemap, a one to one 301 redirect map, preservation of schema.org markup and metadata, three months of post migration Search Console monitoring, and a recovery plan if a keyword drops. Its cutover steps are equally explicit, with incremental order sync before cutover, a DNS cutover in minutes with TTL prepared, and feature flags for instant rollback, and it states that customers, orders, catalog, reviews, wishlists and store credit all migrate through validated scripts and an ETL with checkpoints and rollback. Published durations are three to five months for a standard Magento 1 migration, six to nine months where more than fifty custom modules are in play, and four to six months from Shopify or VTEX. Named steps, an itemised data scope, a cutover position and published durations are four of the five things the method criterion counts, 18 of 22, short of full marks only because no extension or custom code compatibility audit appears on the pages read. It also runs a named rescue line, Adobe Rescue and Optimization, which is the closest thing in this set to a service built for a store that is already stranded. Its about page states a team of 135 people confirmed as of 14 September 2026, broken down by Adobe technology with 40 Adobe Commerce specialists, notes that one person can specialise in more than one, carries a data updated date, and points readers at the Adobe Partner Portal to verify the certifications independently. No other agency ranked here date stamps a headcount, and that is the transparency standard the methodology section of this page borrows from. It states it is a certified Adobe Gold Partner and explains the tier in its own words as the second highest level Adobe grants, requiring successful projects and minimum annual revenue. It describes itself as an Adobe Experience Cloud partner headquartered in Mexico City, working nearshore for brands across the US, Canada, Mexico and LATAM, with a distributed team working no more than two hours from Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time, which is a cover statement of a different kind from an SLA. Where it falls back is evidence and terms. Its three published project stories, Casa Cravioto, Juguetron, and a Magento migration with NetSuite integration and product import optimisation for Enlace, carry scope rather than metrics and have no individual URLs, and the only support term published is 30 days of post launch support. It publishes no Magento end of life dates at all, and on this weighting it still finishes second, ahead of both agencies that do.

On its own site, IWD Agency publishes six case studies with their own URLs, the second largest linkable set here: QC Supply, an enterprise Magento B2B rebuild with GroupBy search and a Microsoft Dynamics ERP integration for a high SKU distributor; BinMaster, an Adobe Commerce rebuild for a global level measurement manufacturer; US Camera Pro, a Magento store for a camera and optics retailer with M2E marketplace sync; plus Penn State University Extension, Runners Athletics and Berkey Creamery. Its migration page opens on the exact buyer state this ranking is about, asking whether a store is stuck on Magento 1 or on a 2.x build so far behind that every patch feels like surgery, and its FAQ states that Magento 1 is end of life with no security support. That is as far as its lifecycle dating goes: no 2.4.x support calendar appears on the pages read, so it takes 4 of 9 on the calendar criterion rather than nothing and rather than full marks. Its method is published in four phases, audit, plan, migrate, then launch and grow, with a parallel run, full data reconciliation and a documented rollback plan, and the data migration scope is itemised down to products, attributes, categories, media and pricing rules, customer accounts, addresses and full order history, CMS pages, blog content and the URL and redirect structure, plus reconnected ERP, PIM and fulfilment integrations, with a stated reconciliation after transfer so nothing is silently dropped. Those four phases, that data scope, that rollback position and its published durations are four of the five things the method criterion counts, 18 of 22; the one missing is an explicit extension or custom code compatibility audit. It also publishes a destination choice framework setting Magento Open Source against Adobe Commerce and Cloud, each with its own best when list. It states it has been migrating stores since 2009, publishes four locations in Austin, Barcelona, São Paulo and Warsaw and says it staffs each engagement to overlap the client's working hours, and names fourteen team members with an average tenure of eight years while publishing no headcount and no certification total, which is a delivery footprint with no bench figure behind it and scores 8 of 19. Its Adobe credential is published as Adobe Solution Partner with no level, on the same credentials line where it publishes BigCommerce Elite Partner with a level, which costs it most of the partner tier criterion. On terms it states a reply within one business day, that about 80% of its clients stay on a monthly support and growth retainer after launch, and that audits and roadmaps land in two to three weeks, mid sized builds and replatforms run three to six months and enterprise B2B and headless engagements six to twelve months.

On its own site, Interjar publishes the most complete Magento end of life calendar in this set: Magento 2.4.6 support ends 11 August 2026, 2.4.7 ends April 2027, 2.4.8 Long Term Support runs to April 2028, and 2.4.9 is listed as an expected May 2026 release. It goes further than the dates and publishes the PHP layer underneath them, stating that PHP 7.4 has been end of life since November 2022 and is still required by Magento 2.4.3 and earlier, and that PHP 8.1 has been end of life since December 2025 and is required by Magento 2.4.4 through 2.4.6. It states plainly that stores on unsupported versions stop receiving security patches, which is a PCI DSS compliance risk, and that for most stores it recommends upgrading to Magento 2.4.8 Long Term Support. It is also the only agency here publishing prices on its own site: £100 per hour billed to the minute against a fixed scope, with six priced upgrade paths running from 2.4.6 to 2.4.8 at two to three weeks and £1,600 to £3,200, through 2.3.x to 2.4.8 at six to ten weeks and £6,000 to £14,000, up to Magento 1 to 2.4.8 at twelve to twenty weeks from £25,000, each quoted after a free thirty minute assessment of the store, hosting and extensions and a written estimate. Its stat tiles state 100+ Magento upgrades delivered, 0 data loss incidents and 100% staging tested first, and it publishes a four step method of assessment and audit, staging upgrade, testing and QA, then production deployment, with an automated deployment pipeline and instant rollback, and states that most upgrades complete with under 15 minutes of maintenance mode. Its about page states it is an Adobe Silver Solution Partner and describes a team of senior Magento developers in Chester without publishing a headcount, naming five individuals and their disciplines instead, and says it does not outsource and does not juggle multiple technologies. Two case studies carry their own URLs: Tieroom, an international luxury tie retailer, reporting a 45% increase in conversions with a named testimonial from its director, and Sosandar, described as an AIM listed fashion brand with £40M+ revenue, reporting 99.9% uptime maintained. Its four step method, the extension assessment inside it, an automated pipeline with instant rollback and its priced durations take 18 of 22 on the heaviest criterion, and its calendar takes the full 9, which no agency ranked above it does. What holds it to fourth is the bench and the terms: it publishes no headcount, so the team behind the work is five named people rather than a number, and it publishes no SLA, no response time and no cover hours, which is the one criterion it scores nothing on at all.

On its own site, TechDivision publishes the longest continuous Magento history in this set and the hardest scale evidence in it. It states it has worked with open source technologies since its foundation in 2006 and with Magento since the first alpha version in autumn 2007, that its largest Magento project to date involves a seven digit number of products, and that its highest traffic Magento shop has handled around 50,000 orders per hour at peak, roughly 1.2 million orders in one day. Its Adobe Commerce page badges read Adobe Gold Partner and since 2018, its page title reads Your Adobe Commerce Gold Partner, and it states it is one of the few partners that also holds the Adobe Experience Manager specialization, with one of its architects named an Adobe Commerce Champion for 2025 and 2026. It publishes both a company headcount of 140 and a practice count of more than 40 Adobe certified in house developers and software architects, one of only three agencies here to publish a headcount and a certified count together, and it is one of only three Hyvä partner claims on this page, stating it is an official Hyvä partner without naming a level. It publishes four locations, its headquarters in Kolbermoor in Germany plus Vienna, Hamburg and Zürich. Named migration work includes LaModula, described as a comprehensive migration from Magento 1.9 to the Magento 2.3 architecture, a B2B spare parts webshop with a customer portal for Erhardt and Leimer, a B2B commerce platform for the HYDAC Group, an Adobe Commerce platform for EGLO rolled out in around 45 countries, and a content commerce relaunch from Magento 1 onto Adobe Commerce and Adobe Experience Manager that started in October 2020 and went live in summer 2021, under ten months. Its method is named as discover, design, deliver and drive, and it goes as far as guaranteeing a seamless conversion to Adobe Commerce without the business coming to a standstill. Named phases are as far as it goes, though: no data scope, no extension compatibility audit, no cutover position and no published duration appear on the pages read, so the method criterion returns 4 of 22. What it does not publish is dates or terms. There is no version support calendar, no end of life dates and no data migration inventory anywhere on the pages read, and no response time, SLA or cover hours either, so it is one of three entries here that score nothing on support terms.

On its own site, GENE Commerce publishes ten case studies, each with its own URL, the largest linkable set on this page: Krispy Kreme, Vivactive, Party Delights, Holcim, Hornby Hobbies, Oka, Southern Sheeting, Tommee Tippee, Electrical Counter and apetito. Its transformation page carries the narrative behind one of them, describing Tommee Tippee as a rescue project that became a strategic partnership, with new customer experiences, bespoke functionality and international growth across 40 sites. It states it is the UK's only Magento Association Platinum Member alongside Adobe Gold Solution Partner status, the only agency here publishing both a vendor tier and an association tier, and states it is the team behind the official PayPal and Braintree modules for Adobe Commerce, used by over 8,000 merchants globally, with over eight years powering PayPal's official Adobe Commerce integration. It also publishes its own ecosystem products, BlueFoot, BlueFinch Build, BlueFinch Patch and ShopThru, and one of those is a patching product, which sits directly beside the problem this page is about. Its platform management offer is the clearest support model statement in the set without being an SLA: 24/7 support, proactive optimisation, security patching and release management, all included, described as outcome based rather than hours based, with a customer support portal behind it. Its footer carries ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Where it scores nothing is method, dating and scale. It publishes no version support calendar, no migration methodology and no end of life dates, framing the problem instead as technical debt and layered complexity making change slower, riskier and more expensive. That is a zero on the method criterion and a zero on the calendar, the two lines that describe the upgrade itself. It publishes no headcount either: its homepage counters are labelled eCommerce specialists, global sites supported and merchants using its payments tech, and none of those figures render as text, so there is no number to score.

On its own site, Krish TechnoLabs publishes the largest headcount on this page after scandiweb, a team of 200 or more, and backs it with a growth timeline that is unusually checkable: a team of 4 at the start, 25 or more while building Yahoo stores, 75 or more when it became a Magento Bronze Partner, 100 or more as a Magento Silver Partner, then 150 or more when it became an Adobe Gold Partner and took a Magento Master award, and 200 or more today. It publishes six addresses in its global presence block, in Covina in California, London, Dubai, Ahmedabad, Sydney and Kawasaki, and states that regional experts are available across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. Its Adobe credential is published in body copy as a preferred Adobe specialized gold solution partner, and its own form headings on that same page run both the current Adobe Commerce Gold Solution Partner wording and the Magento era Magento Solution Partner wording side by side, which is worth noticing when a tier claim is the thing being checked. Its strongest evidence is award citations, because those name the client and the awarding body together: Adobe Commerce FY20 Commercial Partner of the Year, awarded by Adobe in 2020, a w3 Gold for best user interface for Fantasy World Toys in 2023, and a w3 Silver for best user experience for DAMAS in 2023. No case study URL was found for any client, so linkable client work scores 5 of 15. It states 24/7 managed support with proactive monitoring, optimisation, security patches, updates and performance tuning, which is a cover hours claim with no response time, no severity tiers and no SLA behind it. The same page also dates the company two ways, since over 14 years in its opening line and over 20 years of experience in its own FAQ, against an about page that states an inception in 2003. Migration is a named service described as seamless, minimising downtime and preserving data integrity, but with no version calendar, no end of life dates, no data inventory and no published method steps, which is why it scores nothing on either of the two criteria that describe the upgrade itself, the method at 22 points and the calendar at 9. The adjacent offers are a Magento Effectiveness Audit covering speed, SEO, security and user flows, and an Adobe Commerce Accelerator pitched at four weeks.

On its own site, ScienceSoft is the only agency here that publishes a separate upgrade service distinct from migration, and the only one that names researching backward incompatible changes in the target release as a stage of its own. Its upgrade track runs a current solution assessment and code audit, then research into the changes in the targeted Adobe Commerce version that are backward incompatible, then upgrade execution, then further support services. Its migration track is published in eight stages, from discovery and analysis through preparation and strategic planning, unfolding the solution, integration, data migration, testing and QA, production launch and after launch support, with each stage split into a path from a third party platform and a path from Adobe Commerce 1 to Adobe Commerce 2. Discovery for a Magento 1 store is itemised down to code and databases, infrastructure and integrations, custom modules and extensions, the theme and business workflows, and it states a migration of roughly three months with preserved SEO equity and no downtime. Named stages, an explicit audit of custom modules and extensions and a published duration are three of the five things the method criterion counts, 13 of 22; what is missing is an itemised data scope and a stated cutover or rollback position. The problem is dating. Its own published upgrade example is moving a solution from 2.1 to 2.3, several release lines behind the versions a buyer is choosing between in 2026, and no 2.4.x support calendar appears on the page, which is why it scores 2 of 9 on the calendar rather than 4. It publishes its Adobe level plainly as Adobe Community Solution Partner, the entry level of Adobe's current programme and the only non Gold, non Silver level published without dressing it up anywhere in this set, which is worth more to a buyer than a partner badge with no level on it. It publishes tenure rather than a founding year, 37 years in IT, 23 years in eCommerce and 15 years in Adobe Commerce, alongside an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, an ISO 27001 certified security management system, and partnerships with Microsoft since 2008 and AWS since 2017, but no headcount at all. Five of a stated 26 success stories are surfaced on the page and three of those are anonymised, the named ones being RoyalCDKeys, a marketplace of 2,000 products moved from Shopify to Adobe Commerce serving over 200,000 customers, and National Checking Company, a partnership it describes as running over six years. Its strongest single piece of evidence sits exactly on this page's subject: a named testimonial from Jeff Campbell, Director of Technology at EdTech Software LLC, stating his company was under the pressure of soon to end support for Magento 1 and partnered with ScienceSoft mainly to migrate the web store safely to Magento 2. On terms it states a free non binding ballpark estimate within 24 hours and two to three months of fine tuning after migration, but no SLA, no response time and no cover hours.

On its own site, Bemeir publishes the clearest release line table of the nine, and it is the only agency here that prints a general availability date beside every support end date: 2.4.9 generally available 12 May 2026 with support to May 2029, 2.4.8 on 8 April 2025 to 11 April 2028, 2.4.7 on 9 April 2024 to 9 April 2027, 2.4.6 on 14 March 2023 to 11 August 2026, 2.4.5 on 9 August 2022 to 11 August 2026 under an extension, and 2.4.4 on 12 April 2022 to 14 April 2026, an extension that has already run out. It also publishes the one detail almost nobody else states, that 2.4.5 only reaches August 2026 because Adobe granted a free one year extension, and that the extension applies to Adobe Commerce customers only, not to Magento Open Source. Alongside the table it publishes an effort breakdown it attributes to its own engagements, 20% audit and compatibility scan, 15% the upgrade itself, 40% extension and custom code fixes and 25% regression testing and launch, and a timeline of two to four weeks for a clean minor upgrade on a well maintained store against six to ten weeks for a neglected store doing a multi version jump. That 40% line is the number a buyer most needs before signing anything. Those named work packages, that compatibility scan and those published durations are three of the five things the method criterion counts, 13 of 22, with no itemised data scope and no cutover position behind them. It has also written the explainer on what Adobe solution partner levels mean when hiring, which is striking given that it publishes no Adobe level of its own anywhere that could be read, the only agency ranked here in that position. It describes itself as a Brooklyn agency that builds and maintains Magento and Adobe Commerce stores for US mid market merchants, working with the platform since 2010, with multiple certified team members and no headcount, and states it is the only USA partner of Hyvä without naming a level. Its client evidence is testimonials with names and titles rather than case studies with client approved metrics, including Polina Kutaeva, COO of Groms, on a platform launch Bemeir was brought in to rescue from a stuck pre launch state, and Julien Lepleux of For Days, who states an expectation of increasing conversion rate by 25% over the following months. Its own Magento service page has not kept pace with its articles: it is headed twelve years of experience against a 2010 start and still advertises an ebook about 2023 and beyond, while the upgrade planning article this entry is scored from is current. It publishes no Adobe tier, no headcount, no SLA and no rate card, which is why the agency with the best end of life writing on this page finishes last.
