Struggling with Expensive CRM Software? Here’s How You Can Save 60%.


If you're running a business, you know how important a good CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system is. It helps you track leads, manage customer interactions, and streamline sales. But what if you’re paying too much for it? Many businesses don’t realize how much they overspend on CRM software when there’s a smarter, more affordable alternative—20CRM.
In this blog, we’ll break down:

Why paid CRMs cost more than you think

How open-source CRMs like 20CRM save you money yearly

Key features you get without the high price tag

How switching can cut your CRM expenses by 60%

Let’s dive in!

Why Are Paid CRMs So Expensive?

Most paid CRM platforms charge per user, per month.

The more users you add, the higher the cost. Plus, advanced features often come in "premium" plans, forcing you to upgrade just to get basic automation or reporting.

Hidden costs include:


  • User licenses (Pay for every team member)

  • Add-on features (Extra for integrations, analytics, etc.)

  • Long-term contracts (Locked into yearly payments)

This adds up fast—especially for growing businesses.

How 20CRM Saves You Money

20CRM is built on ERPNext, a powerful open-source CRM and business management system. Since it’s open-source, you avoid:

No per-user fees – Add unlimited users without extra costs.

No forced upgrades – All features are available from the start.

No vendor lock-in – Host it yourself or choose a cost-effective cloud option.


Where You Save Annually
  1. No Subscription Fees – Unlike paid CRMs, you don’t pay monthly fees.

  2. Lower Hosting Costs – Self-host or use affordable cloud servers.

  3. Customizable Without Extra Charges – Modify as per your business needs.

  4. No Paywall for Features – Get automation, reporting, and integrations for free.


The result? Up to 60% savings compared to traditional CRMs.


Key Features You Get with 20CRM

Worried that free means limited? Not at all. 20CRM offers everything a paid CRM does, including:

Lead & Deal Management – Track sales pipelines efficiently.

Customer Support – Manage tickets and queries in one place.

Email & SMS Integration – Automate follow-ups and campaigns.

Reporting & Analytics – Get insights without paying extra.

Mobile-Friendly – Access your CRM on the go.

And since it’s open-source, you can add custom features as your business grows—without extra costs.

Cut software costs without losing functionality

Avoid recurring subscription fees

Have full control over your CRM
