Frappe CRM
Open source CRM with unlimited users, built by the Frappe team for lead, deal and sales pipeline management.
Frappe CRM is a modern, fully open-source CRM built by the team behind ERPNext and the Frappe Framework. It is designed for sales teams that want a fast, uncluttered pipeline tool without per-seat pricing: lead capture, contacts and organizations, deal stages, activity logging, tasks and follow-ups all live in one place.
The UI is a Vue.js single-page app with list, Kanban and grouped views, forecasting dashboards, email templates and role-based permissions. Leads can arrive from web forms, email, WhatsApp Business, Facebook lead ads and phone calls, and the built-in enrichment fills in company details. Twilio and Exotel handle telephony, while an ERPNext integration lets teams create quotations from a deal and turn won deals into customers.
Frappe CRM runs on the Frappe Framework, so fields, statuses, views and layouts can be customized without code, and extended further by developers. It is self-hostable via Docker or Frappe Bench, or available as a managed service on Frappe Cloud — a lean alternative to HubSpot and Pipedrive with no per-user fees and no cloud lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Frappe CRM really free?
Yes. Frappe CRM is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and does not charge per user, so you can add your whole sales team at no license cost. You only pay for hosting if you choose the managed Frappe Cloud service (plans start at around $5 per site per month).
Can I self-host Frappe CRM?
Yes. Frappe CRM can be installed with Docker or the Frappe Bench CLI. The official self-hosting guide covers both paths, and the app can run standalone or alongside ERPNext.
Does Frappe CRM integrate with ERPNext?
Yes. When ERPNext is connected, you can create quotations directly from a deal with products and prices included, and a won deal can create the corresponding customer in ERPNext. Frappe CRM also integrates with WhatsApp Business, email, Twilio and Exotel.
Can I import my data from another CRM?
Yes. Leads, deals, contacts and organizations can be imported from CSV or Excel files, so you can migrate from spreadsheets, HubSpot, Pipedrive or another CRM without re-entering your pipeline.
How does Frappe CRM compare to HubSpot or Pipedrive?
Frappe CRM is fully open source and priced without per-seat fees, while offering comparable pipeline management, forecasting, email and telephony features. It is also built on the Frappe Framework, so custom fields, statuses and layouts can be tailored to your sales process without vendor lock-in.
