# Open-source alternatives to Salesforce Sales Cloud > We track 2 open-source alternatives to Salesforce Sales Cloud, but none currently has confirmed commercial use, local running and no paid services together. None of the 2 projects we track covers all 6 Salesforce Sales Cloud jobs, so most people combine two or more. Salesforce Sales Cloud: Salesforce sells Sales Cloud as per-user CRM editions with accounts, contacts, opportunities, email integration, Flow automation, reports and forecasting. These alternatives cover the core CRM records, pipeline, sync, automation and reporting; Salesforce's add-on clouds, AppExchange and Einstein AI are outside this comparison. Pricing: See pricing page (checked 2026-10-22). Facts checked 2026-10-29. ## Projects | Project | Use it instead? | Jobs | Runs locally | Commercial use | Paid services | Hardware | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [Twenty](https://repoquarry.dev/projects/twenty) | Personal use: Yes. Business: Partly (Commercial use with conditions: AGPL-3.0 parts can be used commercially (modified versions served over a network must sha…). | contacts-companies, deal-pipeline, email-calendar-sync, sales-workflow-automation, sales-reports-dashboards | Self-hosted with Docker Compose, or the paid Twenty Cloud | AGPL-3.0 parts can be used commercially (modified versions served over a network must share source); Enterprise-marked files may only be used in production with a valid Twenty Enterprise Edition subscription | None required to self-host the open-source core; Twenty Cloud Pro, Organization and Enterprise plans are paid and optional | At least 2 GB RAM for Docker Compose; no CPU or disk figures documented | | [Macro](https://repoquarry.dev/projects/macro) | Personal use: Partly (Runs locally only in part: Self-hosting is allowed under the AGPL but is not a focus yet; the only documented route…). Business: Partly. | notes, wiki-docs, channels-and-dms, threaded-replies, huddles-and-calls, message-search, contacts-companies, deal-pipeline, email-calendar-sync, task-management, kanban-boards | Self-hosting is allowed under the AGPL but is not a focus yet; the only documented route is a developer Docker stack (Postgres, Redis, LocalStack, OpenSearch, Kafka, FusionAuth) with stubbed integrations. Hosted Macro is the main product | Commercial use allowed under AGPL-3.0; if you build on Macro or offer a modified version over a network you must share that source under the AGPL, or buy a different licence from Macro | Self-hosting needs no Macro plan, but the FAQ says you must hold your own licences for LiveKit (calls), FusionAuth (sign-in) and PostHog (analytics) or turn them off; Gmail, agents and GitHub need your own Google/GitHub OAuth apps. Hosted plans: Free, Pro $40 and Max $200 per seat a month | Not documented | ## Common questions ### Is there a free, open-source alternative to Salesforce Sales Cloud? Yes. Twenty and Macro are free to download and run on your own computer without paid API keys. Each covers only part of what Salesforce Sales Cloud does, so check which job you need. ### Can I do contacts and company accounts locally without a Salesforce Sales Cloud subscription? Yes, with Twenty (AGPL-3.0-only) and Macro (AGPL-3.0). Check the hardware notes and licence conditions on each page before you start. ### Can I do deal pipeline by stage locally without a Salesforce Sales Cloud subscription? Yes, with Twenty (AGPL-3.0-only) and Macro (AGPL-3.0). Check the hardware notes and licence conditions on each page before you start. ### Can I self-host a Salesforce Sales Cloud alternative? Yes. 1 of the 2 can run on your own server: Twenty. It documents a Docker setup. ### What hardware do I need to run a Salesforce Sales Cloud alternative? Memory stated in their docs: 2 GB for Twenty. The others give no single figure. Each project page quotes the source and says whether a figure is a minimum or a recommendation. ### Which Salesforce Sales Cloud alternatives run on Windows, macOS or Linux? macOS: Macro. Linux: Macro. The rest are web apps or servers, or their docs don't say which systems they support. ### Which Salesforce Sales Cloud alternatives can I use commercially? Confirmed: Macro. With conditions: Twenty. This is not legal advice; read each licence. ### Does any open-source project replace all of Salesforce Sales Cloud? Not as of 2026-10-29. Contacts and company accounts, deal pipeline by stage, email and calendar sync, sales workflow automation, sales reports and dashboards and sales forecasting are covered by different projects. --- Source: RepoQuarry (https://repoquarry.dev/alternatives/salesforce).
