Modern CRM, Open Source

Twenty reimagines what a CRM can be:

The Sales-First CRM from Europe

Pipedrive is an Estonian-born CRM designed by salespeople, for salespeople. Founded in 2010 in Tallinn, it has grown to serve over 100,000 companies across 179 countries. Unlike bloated enterprise CRMs, Pipedrive focuses on what matters most: helping you close more deals.

Visual Pipeline Management

Pipedrive's signature feature is its visual sales pipeline, a drag-and-drop board that gives you instant clarity on where every deal stands. Move deals through stages, set activities, and never let an opportunity slip through the cracks.

AI-Powered Sales Assistant

Pipedrive's AI assistant analyzes your sales data and provides:

• Performance tips. Suggestions to improve your win rate
• Activity recommendations. Know when and how to follow up
• Deal insights. Identify which deals need attention

Integration Ecosystem

With 400+ integrations in the marketplace, Pipedrive connects to your favorite tools including Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and more. A robust API is also available for custom integrations.

EU Data Hosting

European customers can choose to have their data hosted in the EU data center, ensuring compliance with GDPR and keeping data within European borders.

Leads, Not a Database

noCRM.io deliberately refuses to be a full CRM. Every lead has a next action with a date, and the interface will not let a lead sit without one. That single rule is the product: it is aimed at small sales teams whose real problem is leads going quiet, not a lack of custom object modelling.

Leads can be created from email, a business card scan, a web form or a spreadsheet, and a prospecting list feature handles cold outreach separately from the pipeline so the two do not contaminate each other's reporting.

The Documentation Other Vendors Should Copy

This is the strongest compliance package in our CRM category, and it is worth being specific about why.

The legal notices name "SAS Positive Group Sales Solutions", a simplified joint-stock company at 3 avenue Antoine Pinay, 59510 Hem, France, registered with the Lille Métropole Trade and Companies Register under number 504 497 215, with an EU VAT number. Not a marketing claim about being European: a registration number you can look up.

The sub-processor list is dated, names every processor with its full registered address, describes what each one does and states the processing location and safeguard. Application and data hosting is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, the Luxembourg entity, processing in Paris and Ireland under standard contractual clauses. Sentry in the United States handles error tracking. Nylas, a US company, processes in Ireland. Elastic, Gleap in Austria, Bouncer in Frankfurt and Covve are each listed with locations.

A DPA and a technical and organisational measures document are published as PDFs alongside it.

The Honest Caveat

Two American companies sit in that chain, Sentry and Nylas, and AWS is a US-owned provider even when contracting through its Luxembourg entity. Under the CLOUD Act, US authorities can reach data those companies hold, including in Paris. noCRM cannot change that, and it does not pretend otherwise. What it does is tell you exactly who touches the data and where, which is what lets a buyer make the decision themselves.

Belgian CRM That Combines Sales, Projects, and Invoicing

Teamleader is a Belgian work management platform that brings CRM, project management, and invoicing together in one tool. Designed for SMBs, it eliminates the need to juggle separate tools for different business functions.

One Tool for Your Entire Business

Teamleader connects your sales, delivery, and billing workflows:

• CRM: Contact management, pipeline tracking, and deal forecasting
• Project management: Plan projects, assign tasks, and track time
• Invoicing: Create invoices, track payments, and manage expenses
• Quoting. Generate professional quotes and convert them to projects
• Time tracking. Log billable hours and link them to projects and invoices

Built for European SMBs

Headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, Teamleader serves over 15,000 companies across Europe. All data is hosted in the EU, and the platform supports multiple European languages and currencies.

One Tool for a Small French Business

Axonaut is not a marketing CRM in the Anglo-American sense. It is the software a French company with a handful of employees runs its commercial life on: prospects and pipeline, quotes that turn into invoices, expenses, mileage, basic payroll, an accountant portal and electronic invoicing under the French mandate.

For a marketing team inside such a company, the value is that the pipeline and the invoicing are the same record, so the gap between a won deal and a paid invoice does not have to be reconciled by hand.

A Genuinely French Stack

The legal notices name Digitica SAS as the publisher, at 2460 L'Occitane, 31670 Labège, and give the host as "ONLINE SAS, BP 438, 75366 PARIS CEDEX 08". ONLINE SAS is the Scaleway group's French hosting entity.

That combination, a French company on a French host, is rarer than the marketing on most European directories suggests. There is no US cloud provider holding the data, which means no CLOUD Act exposure over the infrastructure and no transfer to document. For a French SME with public sector customers or a data protection officer who asks where the servers are, that is a short and clean answer.

Payments run through Swan SAS, a French payment institution, with Digitica registered with Orias under number 23007293 as a non-exclusive banking intermediary.

What Is Missing

Axonaut does not publish a data processing agreement or a sub-processor list at a public URL. That is common among French SME software and it is still a gap: a buyer processing personal data through Axonaut needs a DPA under Article 28, and should request one rather than assume the French hosting settles the question.

The interface and most documentation are French-first, which matters if the team is not.

A CRM That Fills Its Own Fields

Salesflare's design starts from the observation that sales teams do not update CRMs. It reads email, calendar and phone activity and builds contact and company records from it, enriches them from public sources, and surfaces what needs following up rather than waiting for someone to log it.

The result is a pipeline tool aimed at small B2B teams that want the reporting without the data entry discipline that Salesforce assumes. Gmail, Outlook and LinkedIn sidebars keep it in the tools sales people already have open.

Belgian, With Documentation Gaps

The terms name "Salesflare BVBA, a company incorporated in Belgium having its registered office at Rijnkaai 37 box 4, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium", with exclusive jurisdiction in Antwerp. That is a straightforward European company.

The compliance documentation is where this listing loses marks. The public privacy policy is a generic iubenda template. It names Google Cloud Storage as a hosting service but states no region, names no legal entity as controller, and links no data processing agreement. The sub-processor position is "the updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time", which is not a published list.

Google Cloud is operated by a US company, so wherever the region is, the CLOUD Act reaches the host. Without a stated region we cannot say whether the data is even physically in Europe.

What to Ask

For a small team this may be a formality. For anyone whose processing register needs to name a hosting region and a sub-processor list, request both in writing before signing, along with a DPA. A Belgian company should have no difficulty providing them; it simply has not published them.

Other European CRMs, several with far better documentation, are listed under CRM.

CRM and Billing on One Record

Sellsy covers the commercial cycle end to end: prospect, quote, order, invoice, payment, dunning, with marketing automation and a customer portal around it. Like Axonaut, it reflects a French view of what business software is, where the CRM and the accounting are the same product rather than two systems joined by an integration.

It is heavier than Axonaut and aimed at slightly larger companies, with more configurable pipelines, quotas and reporting.

Data on French Servers

Sellsy's data security page is unusually specific: "Vos données sont stockées sur nos propres serveurs, hébergés dans l'infrastructure de Scaleway", data stored on Sellsy's own servers hosted in Scaleway's infrastructure. It notes Scaleway's ISO/IEC 27001 certification and even publishes the average PUE of its data centres.

Own servers on a French sovereign host is the strongest infrastructure position available in this category. No American company holds the data, so there is no CLOUD Act reach over the hosting and no transfer to document.

The Ownership Footnote

Sellsy's own site now carries the line "Sellsy fait maintenant partie de TeamSystem". TeamSystem is an Italian business software group, so the parent is still inside the EU and the data stays where it was.

Ownership beyond the Italian parent was not verified for this listing. Buyers for whom the full ownership chain matters, rather than just the jurisdiction of the immediate parent, should ask. Group acquisitions are precisely the moment when a hosting arrangement can change, and the security page describes the arrangement as it stands today.

The Gap

As with most French SME software, no DPA or sub-processor list is published at a public URL. Request the Article 28 agreement directly.
