Krayin CRM review

Krayin CRM ranks sixth and suits development teams more than end users who want everything out of the box. It is a free, open source, self-hosted CRM built on Laravel, so PHP developers can extend it with tools they already know. The core covers lead tracking, deal management, sales forecasting, activities, a product catalog, unlimited custom fields and role-based access control. Extra channels come as extensions: VoIP for inbound and outbound calls, WhatsApp messaging, Google contact and calendar sync, and a multi-tenant SaaS edition for agencies that want to resell a CRM. Teams that do not want to run servers can use Krayin's managed cloud, which starts at $20 a month with unlimited users and is priced per server rather than per seat, with up to about 15% off on annual billing. Out of the box it offers less for marketing and customer service than the suites ranked above it.
