Best open-source CRM
The best open-source CRM in the c17.io catalog is Twenty, with Krayin CRM as the Laravel path and YetiForce or Aureus ERP when you need a fuller suite. Agent CRM is the headless option for coding agents. Self-host the box on Railway and drop the HubSpot or Salesforce seat meter — see /stacks/twenty-crm.

FAQ
- What does "best" mean here?
- Ranked from the public c17.io catalog and the Twenty CRM stack we already publish. We do not invent star counts or prices — only catalog fields and stack facts.
- Are these free?
- The listed tools are open source or fair-code. You still pay hosting (Railway or any VPS) and any APIs you call. Template users never pay c17.
- How do I deploy a CRM?
- Open the Twenty CRM stack, copy the agent prompt, and start on Railway. Twenty or Krayin plus n8n is the published combo.
- What about EspoCRM?
- EspoCRM is named on the stack page but is not a listed catalog row, so it does not appear in this ranking.
