Enterprise Software: Twenty CRM hosting

Twenty CRMhosting

Twenty is the open-source CRM regarded as a serious alternative to Salesforce and HubSpot – modern, customisable and without per-user licences that explode as the team grows. We host Twenty in a GDPR-compliant way on European infrastructure, set it up for your sales team and keep it secure and up to date. You get a CRM that belongs to you – with all data under your control.

Challenges you'll recognise

  • Your CRM licence costs rise with every new employee, even though you only use a fraction of the features.
  • Your customer data sits with a US provider, and on GDPR an uneasy feeling remains.
  • Your current CRM forces you into a process that doesn't fit your sales team.

CRM for your sales team

Twenty maps contacts, companies, deals and pipelines clearly and adapts to your sales process. We set up objects, fields and pipelines so your team works with it without friction – instead of adapting to a rigid standard CRM.

Managed hosting & setup

We install Twenty production-ready with your own domain, SSL and email connection and take care of ongoing operation. You don't have to administer any servers – we handle provisioning, configuration and operation.

Data protection & sovereignty

Unlike with US CRM providers, your customer data stays on European infrastructure and under your control. That removes the GDPR grey area and makes Twenty the privacy-friendly CRM choice.

Updates & backups

Twenty evolves quickly. We apply new versions and security updates in a controlled way and back up your data automatically and encrypted – including tested restores.

Good to know

  • Open-source CRM on the rise

    Twenty has established itself as one of the most active open-source CRM projects and is developed quickly – with a modern interface that doesn't have to hide behind commercial tools.

  • No per-user licence

    With self-hosting you pay for operation rather than seats. Especially for growing teams this can make a noticeable difference compared to classic CRM pricing.

  • Your customer data belongs to you

    Self-hosted Twenty means: customer data does not leave your infrastructure and is exportable at any time – a clear advantage for data protection and independence.

Twenty vs. Salesforce & HubSpot: cost comparison

Salesforce and HubSpot charge per user per month – every new rep costs extra. Twenty is open source, with no per-user licence. As of June 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Is Twenty a real alternative to Salesforce or HubSpot?
For many teams, yes. Twenty covers the core functions of a modern CRM – contacts, companies, deals, pipelines and customisability – without the high per-user licence costs of the big providers. For highly specialised enterprise requirements an honest comparison is worthwhile; we'll tell you whether Twenty fits your process.
Can we import our existing CRM data?
Yes. We export contacts, companies and deals from your current CRM and import them cleanly into Twenty – with a test before go-live so nothing gets lost.
What does it cost to have Twenty hosted?
You pay a transparent monthly flat rate for hosting, updates, backups and support – without per-user licence fees. The exact amount depends on the number of users and the desired support scope.
