At our previous startups, Felix, Charles, and I each had to build our own in-house CRM from scratch—because nothing out there was customizable enough for our needs. The only real alternative was Salesforce which came with huge prices, vendor lock-in and a proprietary language (Hello APEX).
We built Twenty so you don’t have to go through that pain. That means you can avoid the headaches of building a CRM from scratch or the frustration of dealing with expensive, rigid, and closed-off enterprise solutions.
Twenty is open-source, giving you full transparency and total control—no black boxes, no hidden costs. You own your stack, your data, and your roadmap.
If you’re a builder, tinkerer, or just tired of being boxed in by your CRM, give Twenty a try.
@thomas_df I can already picture how much easier my teams would have it with a CRM that actually feels like it’s built for us, not the other way around. Kudos to you and the team for creating something that gets it!!
Congrats on the launch! Without a doubt, the most exciting open-source project right now!! The team building Twenty is one of the best; their execution is amazing, and they are avoiding the most common mistakes. Keep pushing 🔥
Hi @thomas_df! I've been following Twenty since @mxcrbn mentioned it to me a while back. It's been a great inspiration at all levels, great job!
I'm very curious about the custom data model. Why did you choose to go the route of creating tables for each new custom object vs jsonb data? Would you do it all over again? I'm asking because I'm working on an erp-like system and I have to handle custom data models. Thanks!
So excited to see Twenty on Product Hunt today! Probably one of the best OSS products out there right now, and I know how much heart the team puts into crafting something truly exceptional!
Having already tested it, this CRM is really interesting and very easy to learn... Compared to other mastodons on the market... Good luck for your launch !
@stephanie_joly2 thanks for setting up Twenty for Twenty! The workflows you built are impressive – it's a huge change for us to have product data right into our CRM.
Not every open-source CRM looks good and works great. Looking through the Twenty I see all basic CRM features I might need in every new project. And it's open-sourced — nice!
It’s great to see an open-source alternative to CRM systems that actually focuses on customization and affordability. After dealing with the rigidity of Salesforce in the past, this feels like a breath of fresh air. Does it support integrations with other common tools like email marketing platforms or payment gateways?
Hi @evgenii_zaitsev1 ! For now, the best way to integrate Twenty with other tools is either with our workflow engine, or our REST/GraphQL APIs & webhooks. We do generate a custom endpoint for each object on our REST API to make it easy to call it.
Congrats guys on the launch. Used Twenty a couple of times and I loved how it felt — especially its design. It made CRMs less annoying. I wished its Zapier integration UX was a lot better though but Twenty is indeed by #1.
Thanks for the feedback@praisephilemon ! True, we didn't invest much in our Zapier integration as we are building our own workflow engine. With AI, it will be very powerful. Hope you'll like them! Did you try it?
