Twenty
Modern open-source CRM built as an alternative to Salesforce
Overview

- React-based UI
- Self-hostable via Docker, Docker Compose, or manual install
- Managed hosting available
Our take
Twenty is the most modern-feeling option in this CRM space: a clean React UI, a flexible data model with proper relations, and Kanban plus table views aimed squarely at technical teams tired of Salesforce. It's AGPL-3.0, self-hostable through Docker, and backed by a managed offering, so you can start small and grow. The honest caveat is youth — it's one of the newer CRMs on GitHub and moves fast, which means the feature set is still filling in and breaking changes are more likely than with an entrenched tool. If you need deep, battle-tested CRM functionality today, test whether it covers your workflows before migrating; if you value a clean foundation you can shape, it's compelling.
Ideal for: Technical teams that want a modern, customizable open-source CRM and are comfortable adopting a project still early in its life.
Where it falls short of Salesforce
- Smaller ecosystem of integrations and marketplace apps versus Salesforce/AppExchange
- Workflow automation, reporting, and analytics are still maturing
- No mature mobile apps
- Younger product, so APIs and data model still evolve between releases
