Twenty CRM
The open-source CRM with a modern data model - pipelines, workflows, email sync - and no per-seat pricing.
One-click deploy, from $25/mo on a Miget plan.
CRM pricing is the per-seat genre at its purest: Attio runs $29-36 per user, Pipedrive $14-24, HubSpot looks cheap until contact tiers bite - and every new hire is a new line item. Twenty is the open-source reset: a CRM with a genuinely modern data model (custom objects and fields like a database, not a form builder), pipelines, notes, tasks, email sync, and workflows.
Since v2.1 upstream calls self-hosting production-ready, and the shape fits this catalogue perfectly: server and worker from one image on a managed Postgres (stock Postgres 16 - the old custom-image era is over), with a noeviction Valkey for the BullMQ queue that drives email sync, imports, and workflows.
One classic gotcha is handled loudly: SERVER_URL must exactly match the public URL - the README says so twice, because it is the number-one self-hosting support thread upstream.

#what you get
- Custom objects and fields - model your business, not a template
- Pipelines, kanban and table views, notes, tasks
- Email sync and workflows (BullMQ worker included)
- REST + GraphQL APIs; webhooks
- Stock Postgres 16 = managed Postgres, auto-wired
- Unlimited seats - AGPL core, CRM not feature-gated
#topology
| Service | Role | Public |
|---|---|---|
| server | app + API (:5000), migrations on start | yes |
| worker | BullMQ: email sync, imports, workflows | no |
| broker | Valkey, noeviction (queue) | no |
| db | Postgres 16 - managed service on Miget, container locally | no |
#miget sizing
// this stack needs
3.3 GiB RAM · 10 GB disk · 4 services
1 GiB each for server and worker is the safe floor (NestJS processes; imports spike the worker). Attachments ride a shared volume - or S3 for a stateless pair.
Hobby - recommended fit
$25/mo
2 vCPU · 4 GiB · 80 GiB disk
Headroom for your own apps: 8 GiB at $49/mo
Professional - production
$43/mo
2 vCPU · 4 GiB · 25 GiB disk
Dedicated resources, production SLOs - plan details
One Miget plan is a fixed pool of compute - the whole stack (managed databases included) deploys inside it, and anything left over runs your other apps. No per-service or per-seat math.
#vs. the managed service
What the hosted equivalents charge, against the flat Miget plan this stack fits on. Prices as of June 2026, sources linked.
| Service | Plan | Monthly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twenty CRM on Miget ★ | 4 GiB plan | $25 | this whole stack, flat - no usage meters, and room left for your own apps |
| Attio | Plus | ~$290 | $29/user/mo annual at 10 users (~$36 monthly) |
| Pipedrive | Lite | ~$140 | $14/user/mo annual at 10 users ($24 monthly) |
| HubSpot | Starter | ~$150 | $15/seat/mo annual at 10 seats - contact tiers and hub upgrades climb from there |
CRMs are the purest per-seat genre; Twenty self-hosted makes headcount free.
#vs. other PaaS
Estimated monthly cost of running this exact stack (3.3 GiB RAM, 10 GB disk, 4 containers) elsewhere, from published June 2026 rates.
| Platform | Est. monthly | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Miget ★ | $25 flat | compose stacks first-class: one deploy, dedicated vCPU, managed Postgres/Valkey, volumes and TLS all included in the plan |
| Heroku | ~$163 | no volumes; nothing between 1 GB ($50) and 2.5 GB ($250) dynos - 2 GB containers cost far more than shown |
| DO App Platform | ~$44 | no persistent volumes - stateful containers need managed DBs/Spaces (base $5 Spaces included here) |
| Render | ~$43 | per-service instances (0.5 GB $7, 2 GB $25) - every container is its own paid service |
| Railway | ~$34 | usage-based ($10/GB RAM-mo); vCPU billed separately at $20/vCPU-mo on top |
| Fly.io | ~$21 | cheapest sticker price - but burstable shared CPUs (1/16 core; dedicated vCPUs cost ~2-3×), no compose deploys (one app per container, manual wiring), managed DBs billed extra |
Estimates assume RAM fully allocated at published on-demand rates - and sticker price isn't the whole comparison: the cheaper rows buy burstable shared CPUs, per-service wiring instead of a compose deploy, and managed databases billed separately. Heroku and DO App Platform have no persistent volumes at all - stateful stacks like this one need workarounds there.
#deploy it
On Miget
- Create a Compose Stack in app.miget.com pointing at the templates repository
- Set the stack path to
twenty -
Set the required variables:
ENCRYPTION_KEY, openssl rand -base64 32REDIS_AUTH, broker passwordSERVER_URL, must EXACTLY match the app’s https domain - set after first deploy
- Deploy. Miget layers
compose.miget.yaml(RAM, privacy, volumes, managed services) automatically
Locally first?
Every template is portable, vanilla Docker Compose - the Miget overrides are ignored locally:
git clone https://github.com/deployable-sh/stacks
cd miget-compose-templates/twenty
docker compose up -dSame files, same behavior. The template README covers connection strings and scaling notes.
#faq
How does the cost compare to Attio or Pipedrive?
A 10-person team pays $290-360/month on Attio or $140-240 on Pipedrive, forever, growing with headcount. Twenty here is $25/month flat with unlimited seats - the crossover is at the second user.
Is self-hosted Twenty actually production-ready?
Upstream marked it so with v2.1 (April 2026) and ships an official compose this template mirrors: same-image server/worker split, stock Postgres, noeviction Redis. The earlier custom-Postgres-image era is over.
What is the SERVER_URL warning about?
Twenty derives auth callbacks and CORS from SERVER_URL, so any mismatch with the real public URL produces opaque 403s - it is the most common self-hosting issue upstream. Set it to the exact https domain and the problem class disappears.
Does the AGPL license matter for my sales data?
No - AGPL governs the software, not your data. A few enterprise-marked files (SSO and similar) are commercially licensed upstream, but the CRM you deploy here is the full product for everyday use.
