Open Source CRM Solutions That Cut Costs 70%
Stop paying $175/month for Salesforce. Twenty CRM costs $9/user. Odoo runs 19/month. Own your data. Control your workflows. No hidden add-ons. Deploy managed hosting with Opsily.
Open-Source CRM: The Real Alternative
When your vendor controls your data, your workflows, and your costs, you're renting. Open-source CRM platforms flip that power back to you.
You get:
- Cost control: $9 to $30 per user, not $175+. No per-seat charges for APIs, workflows, or automation.
- Data sovereignty: Host in Frankfurt, Tokyo, or your own servers. GDPR by design, not compliance theater.
- No forced features: SaaS vendors bloat their tools with features you'll never use. Open-source lets you build what you need.
- Switching is possible: Export your data. Migrate to another platform. Move hosting providers. You're never trapped.
The catch: someone has to run it. That's where managed hosting saves you the complexity.
Why Choose Open-Source CRM?
Three reasons technical teams and budget-conscious leaders prefer open-source CRM over expensive SaaS.
70% Lower Cost
Twenty CRM runs $9 per user per month. Odoo costs 19/month. Compare that to Salesforce's $175/month for the same core features, plus $75/user for APIs and workflows. Over 10 users, you save 1,560 per year on Twenty alone. Multiply by years: that's not a rounding error.
Your Data. Your Rules.
Self-hosted or EU-hosted open-source CRM means your customer records never leave your control. GDPR compliance isn't a compliance checkbox, it's the design. If you host it yourself, Twenty never sees your data. If you use managed hosting, your CRM lives in Frankfurt with full data residency guarantees.
Build What You Need
Salesforce forces you into its process. HubSpot does the same. Open-source CRM lets you customize workflows, add fields, and build features specific to your business. If you need a feature tomorrow, you aren't waiting for the vendor's roadmap.

Open-Source CRM Questions
Everything you need to know before switching from SaaS.
Open-source CRM means the code is public, you can inspect it, modify it, and audit it. Salesforce and HubSpot keep their code locked. With open-source CRM like Twenty, you own the software. You can self-host it (free) or pay for managed hosting (Opsily). You are not renting from a vendor. You are buying a tool and running it yourself. That is the core difference: ownership vs. subscription.
Stop Renting Your CRM. Own It.
Deploy Twenty CRM free (self-hosted) or use Opsily's managed hosting. No credit card. No lock-in.
