#1 Open Source CRM
EspoCRM is an open-source CRM web application, available self-hosted or as a paid cloud offering, for tracking contacts, companies, projects, and opportunities.
EspoCRM is an open-source CRM that can be self-hosted (with install guides for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Docker) or run as EspoCRM's own paid Cloud service. Its documentation covers a full developer surface - an ORM and Select Builder, API actions, Services, Hooks, ACL (access control), and Entry points - alongside end-user modules for sales pipelines, case management, campaigns, and add-on "Sales Pack" / "Advanced Pack" extensions covering products, quotes, invoices, inventory, and multi-currency.
EspoCRM's core value proposition is self-hosting and open-source flexibility; teams that want a fully managed SaaS CRM with no infrastructure or upgrade responsibility and don't want to touch Docker/server configuration should weigh the Cloud offering carefully rather than defaulting to self-hosting, since the documentation surface (Apache/Nginx/IIS/Docker setup, upgrading, backup and restore, performance tweaking) assumes some ops capability.
