Verdict

A lightweight self-hosted or affordable cloud CRM for small teams. Cloud plans enforce minimum user counts (3 for Basic, 5 for Enterprise, 10 for Ultimate), which raises the effective entry price.

Pros

  • Free open-source edition you can self-host
  • Lightweight, with an affordable cloud option

Cons

  • Cloud plans have minimum user counts (3 for Basic)
  • Cloud Basic is billed in 6-month or 1-year terms, not monthly

Free plan

Available

Free open-source edition to download and self-host (the pricing page gives no limits); cloud plans have a 30-day free trial

Paid from

Cloud Basic $15/user/month, minimum 3 users, billed in 6-month or 1-year terms (3GB storage/user, 100,000 records)

Watch out

Minimum user counts (3 Basic, 5 Enterprise, 10 Ultimate) raise the entry price. Basic and Enterprise are billed for 6 months or 1 year, not monthly. Moving to self-hosting later means buying any paid extensions you use.
