Deploy Twenty CRM: Which Method Fits Your Team?
Choosing where to run your CRM matters. Compare cloud SaaS, self-hosted Docker, and Opsily managed hosting. Find the deployment option that matches your budget, team size, and technical capacity.
Three Ways to Deploy Twenty CRM
Twenty CRM is open-source. You control where it runs.
You can use the official cloud at managed.twenty.com, spin up Docker Compose on your own servers, or let Opsily manage everything on GDPR-compliant Frankfurt infrastructure.
The difference? Cost, effort, and who handles updates, backups, and security patches.
Here is what matters: Pick the deployment that lets your team focus on selling and customer relationships. Not on servers.

Save Annually vs Salesforce

Which Deployment Method Should You Choose?
Choose managed.twenty.com Cloud if:
- You want the simplest onboarding.
- Your team is not in the EU (data residency not critical).
- You accept managed.twenty.com terms and don't need custom infrastructure.
Choose Opsily Managed Hosting if:
- You need GDPR compliance and EU data residency.
- You want zero maintenance (updates, backups, monitoring).
- Your team size will grow (scaling is automatic, pricing is transparent).
- You prefer a vendor relationship with 24/7 support.
- Your budget is $1,080–$3,000/year per CRM.
Choose Self-Hosted Docker if:
- You have in-house DevOps skills or want to learn.
- Your infrastructure is already on Kubernetes or VPS.
- You want zero monthly hosting fees (besides compute).
- You accept the operational burden: you manage updates, backups, monitoring, SSL certs.
- You plan to run Twenty alongside other open-source tools (it's easier to manage one unified infrastructure).
The Hidden Cost of Self-Hosting
Self-hosting is not free. A 10-person CRM requires:
- Compute (VPS or Kubernetes): $20–100/month
- Your time (monthly updates, backup testing, security reviews): 8–16 hours
- Emergency response time when something breaks at 11 PM
That 8 hours per month costs your company $1,600–$3,200 if you value technical time at $200–400/hour.
Opsily costs $1,080–$3,000/year and eliminates that work entirely. For most teams under 50 people, managed hosting wins on total cost of ownership.
