About Twenty

Twenty is a modern, open source CRM that aims to be a transparent, community-driven alternative to Salesforce. Launched in 2023, it has grown quickly with a clean interface and a developer-friendly architecture.

Open Source CRM Done Right

Twenty was built with modern web technologies and designed to feel like a consumer app, not enterprise software. The interface is fast, the data model is flexible, and the API is comprehensive.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

Self-hosted Twenty is free and unlimited, so there's no usage wall. The only reason to pay is convenience: choose the hosted/cloud option when you'd rather not run and maintain the server yourself, or need support and managed updates.
