Twenty CRM as a Service: Own Your Data, Skip the DevOps
Self-hosting Twenty CRM is cheap but toil-heavy. Managed hosting removes the ops burden. Choose the model that fits your team and budget.
The real cost of owning your CRM
Twenty CRM gives you what HubSpot charges $162K+ per year for: a modern CRM with full data ownership and no vendor lock-in. But self-hosting adds a hidden cost: your engineering time.
On a DIY server ($60-480/year), setup takes 1-2 hours. Then you inherit daily ops: backups, security patches, monitoring, updates. That's 20-30% of an engineer's time every month. For a 10-person company, that's roughly $30K per year in buried labor.
Managed hosting changes the equation. You get the same openness and data ownership as self-hosted Twenty, but Opsily handles all infrastructure operations. No vendor lock-in. No ops tax. Same data ownership.
This page walks you through your options so you pick the model that fits your team.
Three ways to run Twenty CRM as a Service
1. Self-Hosted DIY
Cost: $60-480/year for infrastructure, plus your engineering time. Best for: Teams with spare DevOps capacity and a need for maximum control.
Run Twenty on any cloud server (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS). Docker Compose setup takes 1-2 hours. You own the infrastructure, backups, security updates, monitoring, and uptime.
2. Official Twenty Cloud
Cost: $9/user/month (Pro tier) or $19/user/month (Organization tier). For 10 users: $1,080-2,280/year. Best for: Teams that want simplicity and don't need customization.
Twenty's official SaaS platform. No infrastructure management, but less data sovereignty. You're dependent on Twenty's pricing and governance decisions.
3. Managed Hosting (Opsily)
Cost: Flat monthly rate for full managed infrastructure. Best for: Teams that want data ownership, zero DevOps, and professional support.
You get the independence of self-hosted Twenty with none of the ops burden. Opsily handles provisioning, backups, updates, and 24/7 monitoring. You keep full data ownership and can migrate anytime. No vendor lock-in.
Which path wins?
DIY saves upfront cash if your team has idle DevOps capacity. Most 10-100 person companies don't.
Official Cloud is simple but locks you into Twenty's governance.
Managed hosting splits the difference: you keep independence and code control, but get professional ops and support. No hidden labor costs.
DIY vs Managed: The Real Comparison
Infrastructure cost is the start. Factor in setup, operations labor, and the cost of downtime.
Opsily pricing varies by team size and traffic: get a custom quote at signup. DIY cost assumes spare engineering capacity; true cost is higher if you must hire for ops.
