Twenty CRM on Last Hour vs Salesforce
Salesforce wins on depth. We win on price, ownership, and getting started without a procurement process.

| Getting started | Sign up with an email, we set it up | Sales conversation, trial, then contract |
| Software license | Open source (Twenty, AGPL) | Proprietary |

Straight talk
Where each one wins
Where Salesforce may still be the better fit
- You need advanced automation, Apex, or Einstein AI
- You rely on a specific AppExchange product
- Your sales team is large with complex territory rules
- You need enterprise support contracts and SLAs
Our honest take: if you're a large sales org, Salesforce is worth the money. If you're a small or mid-size team that just needs to track contacts and deals, Twenty CRM does the job for a flat $29 and the data lives on your server.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my Salesforce data into Twenty CRM?
Yes. We can export your Salesforce contacts, accounts, and opportunities and import them into Twenty CRM. Twenty supports a REST API and data import so your pipeline comes across.
Is Twenty CRM as powerful as Salesforce?
Salesforce is far deeper, with decades of features, an app marketplace, and enterprise automation. Twenty CRM covers core contacts, companies, pipelines, and custom objects, which is enough for most small and mid-size teams.
Do you charge per CRM user?
No. Our CRM hosting is $29/mo flat. You can invite your whole team without a per-seat fee, because you're hosting your own instance.
