CRM: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty
Accounting: https://github.com/bigcapitalhq/bigcapital
Yeah I didn't say "when they exist".
These are also not "free as in beer".
Also your Big Capital has a .Claude file at the top of it and likewise Twenty has .cursor so LOLOLOL no thanks
I'm not saying these are plug and play, but they are quite literally free as in beer.
AI is definitely problematic. But if you think your paid for software doesn't use AI in it in the present day, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Weird. Most free things don't have a "pricing" page, in my experience.
There is an option to pay for their storage, hosting, and support. But both have options to run the code yourself absolutely free. Not an uncommon way for FOSS developers to get the financial support they need. And awesome that it looks like all features are available FOSS. Just managed hosting is paid for.
Yeah, our IT department will definitely replace our CRM and Accounting software with some random GitHub projects.
Thanks!
Stop shifting the goal post
Your IT department likely just selects some random vendor that doesn't really give a shit and puts all your data beyond some bullshit cloud service anyways. That they probably cobbled together from github anyways.
This seems nice https://civicrm.com/
Did you not read? Those are established for-profit companies who also happen to release open-source versions of their stack. They also have hosted cloud versions.
You're just backing away because you've been pointed out to be wrong in your sarcastic bullshit, buddy. Just walk away.
