Twenty has a customizable data model, workflows, and REST, GraphQL, and MCP APIs. EspoCRM has over a decade of development, and Krayin is a Laravel CRM with leads, deals, and forecasting.
Macro CRM ties records to email, docs, tasks, and chat in a shared workspace. CRM, built by Comp AI, lets agents log inbox activity and enrich contacts, and Relaticle has built-in AI chat and an MCP server.
Frappe CRM integrates with ERPNext and WhatsApp, Erxes is an all-in-one suite, and Warpdrive is a small pipeline CRM. Atomic CRM is a React and Supabase toolkit, so it needs development work, and Bigcapital is accounting software, not a CRM.
Twenty has some files under a commercial license, and Erxes has an enterprise directory.
Twenty, Frappe CRM, Erxes, EspoCRM, Macro, and Relaticle are AGPL-3.0. Krayin, Atomic CRM, CRM, and Warpdrive are MIT. Bigcapital is AGPL-3.0.
Most had commits within weeks of this update.
Insightly is a proprietary CRM priced per user. Open-source CRMs remove per-seat pricing, but you manage hosting, and integrations are lighter.
