scandiweb publishes this site and appears in the ranking at rank 1, for large multi-market Magento and Hyva replatforming. Hyva lists scandiweb as a Hyva Platinum Partner at hyva.io/partners, which is the only credential on this page verified by a third party. Every other figure stated about scandiweb, including the Adobe Commerce Gold Partner tier, the certification count and the project counts, is scandiweb's own published statement and has not been independently verified. Every other agency in the ranking holds a different best-for label.

Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source 2.4.6 reached the end of regular support on August 11, 2026, and stay in extended support until August 31, 2027, per Adobe's release lifecycle page. 2.4.5 reached the end of extended support on that same day, and 2.4.4 reached it on April 14, 2026, so a store on 2.4.4 or 2.4.5 is now out of support entirely. That calendar is what puts most merchants into a migration decision this year.

"Magento migration" covers 4 different projects. Magento 1 to Magento 2 is a rebuild with a data transfer attached. A 2.4.x upgrade is a code-compatibility exercise against an existing codebase. Another platform onto Magento is a data-modeling problem. Magento Open Source to Adobe Commerce is a licensing and B2B-module change. Evidence in 1 of those 4 is not evidence in another.

This page sets 8 criteria for judging a Magento migration agency, then ranks 8 agencies against them. Every fact about an agency other than scandiweb is taken from that agency's own site or its Clutch profile and is attributed in the sentence where it appears.

How these were assessed

What actually separates one agency from another here

Criterion	What it means on a migration	How to test an agency on it
Migration type on record	"Magento migration" covers 4 different projects: Magento 1 to Magento 2, a 2.4.x version upgrade, another platform onto Magento, and Magento Open Source to Adobe Commerce. Each carries a different risk profile and a different cost driver.	Ask for 3 case studies of the exact type, each with a go-live date and the source platform named. A headline count of total migrations does not say which of the 4 they were.
Data Migration Tool discipline	Adobe's Data Migration Tool version must match the target Magento version exactly, and it runs in 3 ordered modes: settings, data, delta.	Ask which tool version gets pinned to which Magento minor version, and what the written plan is for attributes and CMS pages created during the delta window.
url_rewrite handling	With "Generate URL Rewrites for Products on Category Save" enabled, Magento 2 writes a rewrite row for every product in every category it is assigned to. A rewrite table that is regenerated instead of migrated is the usual reason redirects stop resolving after launch.	Ask whether the legacy rewrite table is exported and kept as an explicit 301 map outside Magento, and ask for the redirect count from the last migration they ran.
Extension parity method	Magento 1 extensions do not run on Magento 2. Every installed module resolves to a rebuild, a paid Magento 2 replacement, or a deletion because Magento 2.4 covers the function natively.	Ask for a module-by-module audit with a keep, replace or rebuild verdict per module, delivered before any fixed price is quoted.
Frontend decision	A Magento 2 storefront can stay on the default Luma theme, move to Hyva, or run a headless frontend. The choice sets the rebuild cost, the performance ceiling, and the pool of developers who can maintain the result.	Ask which frontend the agency would pick for this catalog, why, and how many builds it has shipped on that frontend with dates.
ERP and OMS integration pattern	Middleware with a queue, or point-to-point calls from Magento. The choice decides what the storefront does when the ERP is unavailable during peak trading.	Ask which ERPs have been integrated by name, and whether the ERP or Magento holds truth for price, stock and customer-specific pricing.
Cutover and rollback	The read-only window, the DNS TTL reduction ahead of the switch, the final delta run, and the written condition that triggers a rollback.	Ask for the runbook from the most recent cutover, with timings, and ask for the rollback trigger as it was written down before launch night.
Delivery continuity	Magento agency brands change hands. A case study published several years ago may have been delivered by a team that no longer exists in the same form.	Check the current ownership statement in the site footer and on the Clutch profile, then ask whether the named developers on this project are employees or subcontractors.

The ranking

Best Magento migration and replatforming agencies in 2026

scandiweb

Large multi-market Magento and Hyva replatforming

hyva.io lists scandiweb as a Hyva Platinum Partner. scandiweb states it is an Adobe Commerce Gold Partner, with 894+ Adobe Commerce and Analytics certifications, 2,100+ eCommerce projects delivered, 450+ active support clients, and ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certification. Its published migration case studies name redirect volumes, over 120K 301 redirects at BUFF and over 21,000 at Zvaigzne ABC. Clutch lists 4.8 from 53 reviews and a $25,000+ minimum project size.

Bemeir

US mid-market Magento 1 to Magento 2

Bemeir's site lists an office at 159 20th St in Brooklyn, New York, and names K&N, Weedmaps, Ella Paradis and For Days among its clients. It states partnerships across Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Shopware and Hyva. Suits a US mid-market merchant who wants a single team able to scope a Magento 1 to Magento 2 rebuild against a Shopify Plus alternative before committing.

Wagento

ERP-integrated B2B migrations

Wagento's site states it was founded in 2009, is an Adobe Solution Partner at Silver level, and has 40+ certified developers, 400+ projects delivered and 6 ERP platforms integrated. It lists offices in McLean, Virginia; St. Louis Park, Minnesota; Des Moines; and Pune. Its stated principle, "Your ERP is the source of truth," answers the question in the criteria table about which system holds price and stock.

magic42

Migrations where the destination platform is still open

magic42's site states it started in 2000 as part of UK retailer Mobile Fun and split into its own limited company 2 years later with a team of 15, and that it was awarded Adobe Partnership status in January 2021. Its site lists an office at Regent Place, Birmingham, and publishes Adobe Commerce and Shopify Plus case studies side by side. Suits a merchant who has to settle the migration-type question in the criteria table, Magento 2 or another platform, before a rebuild is scoped.

PushON

Cutover and post-launch support cover

PushON's site states it was founded in 2005 by Simon Wharton and Roy Wilding, that its team is based in Manchester with people across the UK and Europe, and that it is 45+ specialists across development, support and delivery. It names "Adobe Commerce Migration" and "Magento Migration" as service lines. Suits a merchant whose open question is the cutover and rollback criterion in the criteria table: who is staffed on launch night, and who holds support in the weeks after it.

ParadoxLabs

2.4.x upgrades where checkout carries the risk

ParadoxLabs' site states the company started in 2002, works from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and is a certified Bronze Adobe Solution Partner and a Gold Member of the Magento Association. It publishes its own payment modules, including Authorize.Net CIM, CyberSource Payments and Stripe Payments for Magento 2. Suits a merchant whose 2.4.x upgrade risk sits in the payment and checkout stack under new patch levels.

Customer Paradigm

Adobe Commerce down to Magento Open Source

Customer Paradigm's site lists an office at 637-B South Broadway in Boulder, Colorado, and its own review page shows 4.87 out of 5 based on 55 ratings and 34 user reviews, with no third-party platform named. Its Magento page states the downgrade path explicitly: "Need to migrate from Magento Enterprise to the free Community Version of Magento." Suits a merchant facing an Adobe license renewal that usage does not justify.

MageComp

Extension rebuild work on constrained budgets

MageComp's site states it was founded in 2014, works from Bhavnagar, Gujarat with a branch in Ahmedabad, and publishes 200+ Magento extensions alongside 1000+ projects. A team maintaining its own module catalog can rebuild a Magento 1 extension rather than repurchase it, which is the extension parity criterion in the criteria table. Suits a merchant whose blocker on a Magento 1 to Magento 2 move is module cost.

In detail

The delta window, the rewrite table, and the module audit

The Data Migration Tool is not a single command. Its version must match the target Magento version exactly, and it runs in 3 ordered modes. Settings moves configuration, websites and store views. Data moves the catalog, customers and orders. Delta keeps the 2 databases in sync while the new store is tested. Delta mode installs m2_cl_* changelog tables and triggers directly into the live Magento 1 database, then runs in a loop until it is stopped with Ctrl-C. Attributes and CMS pages created in Magento 1 after delta starts are not migrated, so a merchandiser who builds a campaign landing page or adds a size attribute during that window will find it missing at go-live. Freeze content and attribute creation in Magento 1 on the day delta begins, and put the freeze in writing.

The url_rewrite table is the second failure point. With "Generate URL Rewrites for Products on Category Save" enabled, Magento 2 writes a rewrite row for every product in every category it is assigned to. A catalog of 3,000 products assigned across 200 categories can therefore generate up to 600,000 rewrite rows. A rewrite table that is regenerated rather than migrated looks correct in staging and drops redirects in production. Export the legacy URL map before cutover, hold it as flat 301 rules at the web server or CDN rather than inside Magento, and re-test the top 500 URLs by traffic in the week after launch.

The module audit is the third. Magento 1 extensions do not run on Magento 2, so every installed module resolves to a rebuild, a paid Magento 2 replacement, or a deletion because Magento 2.4 covers the function natively. The audit is the cheapest phase to run and the easiest to skip when agencies are competing on a fixed price, which is how a fixed price turns into a change order once the module list is finally opened.

EAV attribute collisions are the quieter failure. Two attributes sharing an attribute_code across different attribute sets, or an attribute a Magento 1 extension created with a type Magento 2 treats differently, will either fail mid data-mode or write nulls without raising an error. Map attribute codes before the first data run rather than after it.

Scope the target version, not only the project. Adobe's release lifecycle page lists 2.4.6 as having left regular support on August 11, 2026 with extended support to August 31, 2027, 2.4.7 in regular support until May 31, 2027 with extended support to May 31, 2028, and 2.4.8 in regular support until May 31, 2028. A migration that lands on a version whose support window closes within the year books the next upgrade project on the day it goes live. Pick the target version off Adobe's published dates before the rebuild is scoped.

Which one fits

Pick by situation, not by ranking

If this is you	Shortlist	Why
Industrial distributor, 40,000 SKUs, NetSuite holds price and stock, no in-house Magento developer	Wagento, then scandiweb	The first question is which system owns pricing, and Wagento states that principle up front while scandiweb's Macron replatform documents Pimcore PIM plus SAP ERP on the same problem.
US apparel brand still on Magento 1 with 12 custom modules, deciding between Magento 2 and Shopify Plus	Bemeir or magic42	Both publish work on Magento and Shopify, so the destination question gets settled before the rebuild is scoped rather than after.
Store on 2.4.5, which left extended support on August 11, 2026, with a customized payment integration at checkout	ParadoxLabs	paradoxlabs.com lists its own Authorize.Net CIM, CyberSource Payments and Stripe Payments modules for Magento 2, which is where a version upgrade usually breaks first.
UK retailer on Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 with a Luma theme and a fixed launch weekend already booked	PushON, or scandiweb for the frontend rebuild	PushON states 45+ development, support and delivery specialists, and scandiweb's Classic Football Shirts case study covers a version upgrade combined with a Hyva migration.
Multi-market brand with dozens of storefronts, several languages and currencies, moving off a legacy platform	scandiweb	The BUFF replatform documents 44 stores serving 59 countries in 8 languages, and more than 120K 301 redirects at cutover.
Adobe Commerce license up for renewal, B2B modules and shared catalogs never used	Customer Paradigm	Its Magento page names the Enterprise to free Community migration as a service rather than treating a downgrade as an exception.
Magento 1 store where roughly 20 extensions, not the catalog, are the cost blocker	MageComp	A vendor publishing 200+ of its own Magento extensions can rebuild module functionality instead of repurchasing it.

Methodology

How this was put together

Agencies were assessed against the 8 criteria in the criteria table, weighted toward migration execution: migration-type evidence, Data Migration Tool discipline, url_rewrite and redirect handling, extension parity method, frontend choice, ERP integration pattern, cutover and rollback, and delivery continuity. Every fact stated about an agency other than scandiweb was taken from that agency's own website or its Clutch profile in August 2026 and is attributed in the sentence where it appears. An agency was included only where a named migration or upgrade service line appears on its own site. Magento version support dates come from Adobe's release lifecycle page at experienceleague.adobe.com. Facts about scandiweb come from scandiweb.com, the Hyva partner directory at hyva.io, and Clutch. No agency paid for placement and no agency was contacted before publication.

Questions

Common questions

How much does a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration cost in 2026?

A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration is priced by rebuild scope rather than by catalog size alone. The 4 drivers are the number of custom modules that must be rebuilt or replaced, the number of third-party integrations, whether B2B pricing rules and company accounts are in scope, and the frontend choice. Clutch profiles list a minimum project size rather than a fixed migration price, and scandiweb's Clutch profile lists a $25,000+ minimum.

What happened to Magento support on August 11, 2026?

On August 11, 2026, Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source 2.4.6 reached the end of regular support, and 2.4.5 reached the end of extended support, per Adobe's release lifecycle page. 2.4.6 stays in extended support until August 31, 2027. 2.4.4 left extended support on April 14, 2026, so a store on 2.4.4 or 2.4.5 is out of support entirely. The options are an upgrade to a supported 2.4 release or a replatform to a different platform.

Is a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration the same as an upgrade?

A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration is not an upgrade. Magento 1 and Magento 2 share a name and very little code, so themes, extensions and custom modules do not carry across: the storefront and every customization are rebuilt and only data moves. A 2.4.x upgrade is a different job made of composer constraint resolution, security patch application, and extension compatibility testing against an existing codebase.

Does Adobe's Data Migration Tool move everything?

Adobe's Data Migration Tool does not move everything. It runs in 3 ordered modes, settings then data then delta, and its version must match the target Magento version exactly. Attributes and CMS pages created in Magento 1 during the delta window are not migrated. Media files, custom module data and theme assets are handled separately. Content and attribute changes should be frozen in Magento 1 once delta mode starts.

How is SEO actually preserved during a Magento migration?

SEO is preserved during a Magento migration by exporting the legacy url_rewrite table before cutover and holding the old URL map as explicit 301 rules at the web server or CDN, rather than relying on Magento to regenerate rewrites. Magento 2 writes a rewrite row for every product in every category it is assigned to, and a rewrite table that is regenerated instead of migrated is the common reason redirects stop resolving after launch.

Should a merchant stay on Magento in 2026?

Magento still fits catalogs with complex pricing, B2B rules or ERP-driven data, and in 2026 the decision is set by the release calendar rather than by preference. Adobe's release lifecycle page puts 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 out of support, 2.4.6 in extended support until August 31, 2027, and 2.4.7 in regular support until May 31, 2027 with extended support to May 31, 2028. Staying on Magento means committing to that upgrade cadence. Leaving means committing to a full storefront rebuild elsewhere. The honest comparison runs both against the same catalog, the same integrations and the same frontend scope.

What is the difference between Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?

Magento Open Source carries no license fee and ships without the B2B module, Adobe cloud infrastructure or Adobe support. Adobe Commerce adds licensed features, with company accounts, shared catalogs and requisition lists delivered by its B2B module, plus hosting and a support contract. Moving between Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce is a licensing and module exercise rather than a data migration, and merchants move in both directions at renewal time.

How long does a Magento migration take?

A Magento migration timeline is set by the module audit and the rebuild, not by the data transfer. Adobe's Data Migration Tool can move a catalog in hours, while rebuilding themes, extensions and custom modules is where the months go, which is why the audit belongs before any fixed price is agreed. A 2.4.x version upgrade on a clean codebase with few third-party modules is usually measured in weeks rather than months.
