Microsoft's native tools need extra licences for cross-tenant moves. Cross-tenant mailbox and OneDrive moves need the Cross-Tenant User Data Migration add-on, and cross-tenant SharePoint moves need Cross-Tenant Shared Data Migration, which Microsoft currently offers only to Enterprise Agreement customers.

Which one fits
No third-party tool needed, but you must buy the cross-tenant add-on licence and handle Teams separately.
Documents tenant-to-tenant migration of Power Apps and Power Automate alongside mail, files and Teams.
Covers SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Exchange Online plus Google Workspace in one tool.
Documents Gmail, Google Drive and Google Chat as sources.
How to choose
List your workloads first. Microsoft's native tools move mail, OneDrive and SharePoint between tenants, but not Teams channels or chats. If Teams history matters, you need a third-party tool.
Check licensing for native tools. Cross-tenant mailbox and OneDrive moves need a per-user add-on, and cross-tenant SharePoint moves are limited to Enterprise Agreement customers.
Check delta passes. Microsoft's cross-tenant OneDrive and SharePoint moves are one-time moves with no incremental passes. Plan your cutover around that.
Ask for a trial. Run a pilot with real users before you commit. Our tenant-to-tenant guide and Teams chat migration guide cover the steps.
Frequently asked questions
Can Microsoft migrate Teams chats between tenants?
Microsoft's native tools do not. The cross-tenant mailbox move does not migrate Teams chat folder content, and SharePoint moves exclude Teams channels. Use a third-party tool.
Do I need extra licences for Microsoft's cross-tenant tools?
Yes. Cross-tenant mailbox and OneDrive moves need the Cross-Tenant User Data Migration add-on. Microsoft says migrations fail without it.
Can I move Power Automate flows between tenants?
Microsoft supports moving production and sandbox environments between tenants. Flows are off by default after the move and HTTP trigger URLs change. AvePoint Fly and Apps4.Pro also document Power Automate migration.
Which tools migrate from Google Workspace?
Microsoft native tools, BitTitan, AvePoint Fly, ShareGate and Cloudiway document Google Workspace as a source. CodeTwo moves Google mail folders over IMAP.
Why are there no prices here?
Migration tool pricing depends on users, data volume and bundles, and it changes. Check each vendor's current pricing.
