FAQ
- What is the best free open-source Freshsales alternative?
- The best open-source alternative to Freshsales is Twenty (or Krayin CRM) with n8n, self-hosted on Railway. A CRM you can fork, wired to n8n so the pipeline actually moves. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zoho CRM without the seat OS.
- Is it free?
- The Twenty or Krayin + n8n licenses are open source or fair-code. You still pay hosting (Railway or any VPS) and any APIs the stack calls. There is no Freshsales seat or task bill on this path.
- Can I migrate from Freshsales?
- Yes. Start with the workflows or data you actually use, then cut over. The Twenty or Krayin + n8n stack page has the agent prompt and the cost table; most teams rebuild the slice that matters and leave old Freshsales links until they expire.
- How do I deploy it?
- Open the Twenty or Krayin + n8n stack, copy the agent prompt, and deploy on Railway (one service, PORT, and a volume when the app needs disk). Placeholder: Twenty (or Krayin / EspoCRM) + n8n. Medium; expect a day of field mapping.
