Review · Open source self-hosted CRM
Verdict
Krayin is an open-source, self-hosted CRM for PHP teams, with a Kanban pipeline and quotes, but it has no cloud option or native mobile app.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Krayin CRM

  • Free, open-source CRM built entirely on the popular Laravel PHP ecosystem, making customization easy for PHP developers
  • Lightweight, performant architecture with rapid response times and minimal server resource requirements
  • Intuitive Kanban-style sales pipeline with customizable stages, activities, and lead tracking
  • Complete source code ownership allows total customization of business logic and internal processes

What we don't like about Krayin CRM

  • Smaller feature footprint with limited advanced automation, AI insights, or omnichannel support
  • Self-hosting and server maintenance are required, which presents a hurdle for non-technical teams
  • Small library of native pre-built integrations with third-party software outside the Laravel ecosystem

Verdict

Krayin CRM is a developer-friendly, open-source CRM framework built on the Laravel PHP ecosystem, crafted for web agencies, developers, and small enterprises seeking an extensible self-hosted sales pipeline. It provides visual deal kanban boards, contact and lead management, basic product cataloging, and automated email workflows without recurring per-seat costs. Its primary advantages are an easily customizable codebase for PHP developers, complete data sovereignty, rapid local or cloud deployment on standard web hosting, and zero licensing overhead. Its disadvantages include a limited collection of pre-packaged third-party integrations, the absence of native mobile applications, and minimal advanced marketing or predictive sales features.
