Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 37 of the 116 other CRM tools we grade
Krayin CRM is an open-source CRM built on Laravel for managing leads, contacts and sales workflows. You can download and host it yourself for free, or pay its maker, Webkul, for managed hosting that is priced per server instead of per user. Extra features such as VoIP and WhatsApp come as add-on modules.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Krayin CRM, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Self-hosting means servers, updates and backups.
- 1
Best for a free open-source CRM you host yourself
Extras like WhatsApp and Google sync are separate extensions, and self-hosting is your job.
- 2
Paid plans start at $20 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $20 per month for managed hosting, unlimited users.
- 3
There is a free plan
The core CRM is free to download and run on your own server under the AGPL license, with no limit on records or users.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Lead and sales workflows
The core CRM covers leads, customers and sales workflows, according to the vendor's hosting FAQ.
- 6
Unlimited users
Managed hosting is charged by server resources, so adding teammates does not change the price.
- 7
Extension marketplace
Add-on modules include VoIP, WhatsApp, Google sync, purchase orders and a multi-tenant SaaS mode.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 37 of 116
That is against the other CRM tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Krayin CRM you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a free open-source CRM you host yourself
Krayin is an open-source CRM, free to self-host under AGPL or $20 a month managed with unlimited users. Extras like WhatsApp and Google sync are separate extensions, and self-hosting is your job.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Managed hosting is $20 a month with unlimited users, in the middle of crm prices ($15 to $65). Self-hosting is free but needs a server. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The core CRM is free to run on your own server with no limit on records or users. |
| Features | C | Leads, sales workflows, a marketplace and a REST API. VoIP, WhatsApp and Google sync are extra extensions, which are gaps in the core. |
| Ease of use | D | Self-hosting means servers, updates and backups. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with WhatsApp and Google Workspace and a REST API. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Krayin CRM is for
- Fits if you can run a server and want no per-user fees
- Works for teams that want to change the code
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams with a developer who want to own and customize their CRM code
- Larger sales teams that want a flat server cost instead of per-seat fees
- Agencies reselling a white-label CRM to clients
Worth knowing

- Self-hosting means you handle servers, updates and backups yourself.
- Extras such as VoIP, WhatsApp and Google sync are separate extensions, and enterprise customization requires talking to sales.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Krayin CRM you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 67 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $240 a year. Krayin CRM is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Krayin CRM’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
