What you give up vs Pipedrive
- 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 (Pipedrive: per-user fees for every feature tier).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (GPL-3.0).
