Which one is for you
Pick Krayin CRM if
- Fits if you can run a server and want no per-user fees
- Works for teams that want to change the code
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't want to run servers, updates and backups
- Tight if you need VoIP, WhatsApp or Google sync, as they are separate extensions
- Watch out: only the $20 entry figure was visible, not the Starter and Pro pack prices
- Watch out: enterprise customization needs sales, and moving to cloud is a paid service
Pick Twenty if
- Fits if you're a technical team and want the CRM built round your data, not the other way
- Works for teams that need to self-host and keep CRM data on their own servers
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as it's a web app only
- Not for you if you want it free without running a server, because the cloud only has a 30-day trial
- Tight if you lean on lots of ready-made integrations, as Twenty's own docs say its range isn't as broad as Salesforce's or HubSpot's yet
- Pricey if you need SSO, row-level permissions or audit logs, which need Organization at $39 a user, billed yearly
- Watch out: the API is capped at 50 calls a minute on Pro, and there are no campaigns, quotes or help desk

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
