Frappe CRM review

Frappe CRM ranks fourth and is the cheapest hosted option on this list. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, so you can self-host it for free, and Frappe Cloud hosting starts at $5 a month per site with unlimited leads, deals, contacts and sales agents. Leads arrive from web forms, email, WhatsApp, Facebook lead ads and phone calls, and calls through Twilio or Exotel are logged with duration, notes and recordings. A built-in Enrich action fills in a company's industry, description and social links. Deals support products, forecasting, SLAs for first replies and multi-currency totals, and teams connected to ERPNext can create quotations straight from a deal. Customization covers custom fields, renamed stages and page layouts without code, and the Frappe Framework allows deeper development. It has fewer marketing and service features than SuiteCRM or Odoo, and the hosted bill depends on site size, provider and region.
