How much does it cost to migrate to Magento 2 and why?

Recently I saw the usually discussion about cost of migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2. Let me unlock this secret for you.

I saw discussion about cost of migration from M 1 to M 2 there https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/threads/m2-migration.392599/

40000 £ for migration store to Magento 2 (1500 products and new design). Is it really?

I think it is really. In my opinion, the migration to Magento 2 can costs 60000 £ and even 80000 £. But it can costs 2000 £.

Why?

The data migration it isn’t problem. Developers can use a lot of migration tools (or can create). The main problem of migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 it isn’t migration. It is the mail secret.

Developers create new site. You can’t use Magento 1 extensions which you like. You can’t migrate the customization from the old e-store. The e-store structure will change.

The more custom code and extensions you need on Magento 2 store the more it will costs.

So, you need to see how much new Magento 2 site costs.

Also the migration to Magento 2 platform depends on where agency or developers placed. But the cheaper doesn’t mean better. Please read more here You must know that majority part of developers aren’t technical specialists.
