Migaru vs Lightfield
Two CRMs that keep themselves.
Both build the record from your email, calendar and meetings. Lightfield records your calls with its own recorder, can send email and LinkedIn sequences for you, and charges for AI work in credits. Migaru works from the transcripts your recorder already makes, drafts every email for a person to send, and charges a fixed price with no credits.

Where Migaru and Lightfield differ
Recording your calls
Lightfield brings its own recorder: it joins your external meetings, transcribes them and updates the CRM from what was said. Migaru has no recorder and never joins a call. If you already use one, export the transcript and drop it in: Migaru files it on the meeting and turns what each side promised into tasks.
Who presses send
Lightfield's sequences send email and LinkedIn messages on a schedule and stop when someone replies. Migaru's code can't send email at all: every follow-up and sequence step waits in a review queue, and approving one puts a draft in your own mailbox for you to send.
What the bill depends on
Lightfield prices AI work in credits and doesn't charge for seats, so the bill follows how much the platform does for you. Migaru charges a fixed price, per user on Starter and one price for the whole workspace on Pro and Growth, with no credits, so the agent costs the same however much you ask of it.
Lightfield can put LinkedIn messages in a sequence, and syncs LinkedIn in beta. Migaru builds the record from email, calendar, Slack and call transcripts, and captures nothing from LinkedIn.
Choose Migaru if
- You want a fixed price that doesn't move with how much the AI does.
- You want nothing to reach a customer until a person has read it and sent it.
- You already have a recorder, or would rather not have a bot on your calls.
