What you give up vs HubSpot

  • UI is dated and dense compared to modern CRMs
  • CRM is just one part of a broad ERP, so dedicated sales features are shallower
  • Marketing automation is minimal
  • Heavy reliance on community modules for advanced needs

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Dolibarr ERP & CRM on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (HubSpot: costs that balloon as contacts grow).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (GPL-3.0).
