Migration guide: SurfsharkNordVPN

A four-step playbook most teams follow when switching from Surfshark.

  1. 1

    Export your data

    Pull your data from Surfshark using the built-in export (CSV/JSON) or the official API.

  2. 2

    Provision NordVPN

    Create a workspace, invite your team, and configure SSO or auth to match your current setup.

  3. 3

    Import & map fields

    Use NordVPN's importer (or a lightweight ETL) and map your fields — start with a single project to validate.

  4. 4

    Run in parallel

    Keep both tools live for 1–2 weeks. Diff outputs and address gaps before the full cutover.

What switchers say

Paraphrased from verified user reviews of teams that migrated away from Surfshark.

We switched after our team hit the pricing ceiling — the migration took a weekend and we haven't looked back.

Head of Ops, 40-person SaaS

The UX felt familiar day one, and the CSV importer got us 95% of the way without engineering help.

Product Manager, mid-market

Same features, roughly a third of the cost. The only thing we lost was one integration we barely used.
