Do you have a hosted version yet?

Yes! https://app.twenty.com . It's still very early but we are happy to share it and to get feedbacks. We already have a few users that are using it on a daily basis and we are trying to get as much feedback as possible to prioritize our roadmap!

Awesome! Congrats on the launch!

Is the pricing for the hosted version?

The pricing is for the cloud version: you can use it for free if you stay under 100 contacts. Self-hosting is completely free!

AGPL is always scary. If I integrate your CRM code into my tech stack, technically I may need to make my tech open source, per AGPL. Thats dangerous.

We are unsure about the right license to use, so this is a great feedback. We had a MIT license one week ago that we know that we cannot hold on long term and we felt we were lying to the community by keeping an MIT license and changing it in one year.

By using AGPL, we feel it's the right level of restriction. It's the license used by Metabase for example (https://github.com/metabase/metabase) that many companies use internally. Obviously, we don't want to restrict people to self-host the CRM for their own needs.

> The actual CRM part (basically tables of data with a UI) is trivial Although I agree with the general sentiment, I disagree with this. I've tried out over 100 low-code ui builder over the past year (including creatio,Corteza,ERPNext,Baserow,tadabase,appsmith,nocodb,mathesar,bubble, etc.) and so far none of them have perfected "excel like ease with the power of a database". If anyone has any suggestions, (that's not…

2 competitors which I think are getting things right on the UI front are Attio [1] and Folk [2]. It's not as powerful as Salesforce and the data structure is very loose, but they have done a good job with the user-experience. They are not open source though.

It looks like a near clone of what Attio is doing.

What type of phone integration would you need? Do you use an external provider like Aircall? If you don't, I know Close.com has a built-in phone functionality so maybe their solution could fit your need? We definitely need to work on integrations soon!

We have a dated IP PABX. But would happily switch to another system to enable a new CMS. Thanks for the mention of close.com. As far as integrations go, for us it's an API that is critical. Our accounting system is Myob Exonet. So old that nothing integrates but it was an API so we can write an ETL process to dump data out of it into a CRM. Our Ecommerce platform is NopCommerce but that's a bit obscure and so heavily…

Thanks a lot for sharing this precious experience. Do you like what Close is doing for instance? https://www.close.com/pricing

The biggest mistake a competitor can make is thinking Salesforce is a CRM. They may sell themselves as one, but that is just to get a foothold in a company's sales system. Salesforce actually sells (1) an ecosystem that lets your company connect to any other software out there and (2) a platform on which you can build...basically anything. These two together ensure that every one of their customers is 100% locked in…

Check out https://lowdefy.com

We’ve built Lowdefy as a config webstack. Making it really easy to build web apps with yaml or json. You can also extend with npm plugins.

Lowdefy is more low level than a crm. But we’ve used it to build advanced CRMs for enterprises.
