Geniziz vs Dolibarr: the Dolibarr alternative that doesn't charge per seat

Is Geniziz a good Dolibarr alternative? Yes. Geniziz covers the same core workflow — pipeline, shared inbox, calling, sequences, reporting and AI — with three differences: unlimited users (you pay by contacts, not seats), every feature on every plan, and bring-your-own-keys so AI, email and calling bill at provider cost.

What Dolibarr costs, and what the same team costs here

Dolibarr bills like this: No official Dolibarr-run cloud; DoliCloud (an official 'Preferred Partner') sells hosted per-user/month plans.

Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.

10 users
Dolibarr$194/mo
Geniziz€149/mo

A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look.

25 users
Dolibarr$437/mo
Geniziz€149/mo

Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move. That is about 2.5× the Geniziz price.

50 users
Dolibarr$842/mo
Geniziz€299/mo

The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price. That is about 2.4× the Geniziz price.

Dolibarr has no first-party cloud. Figures use DoliCloud (Dolibarr's official 'Preferred Partner' host) Premium plan: EUR30/mo base + EUR15/mo per user, converted at approximately 1 EUR = 1.08 USD. Basic (EUR14/user/mo, no base fee) suits solo/very small use only. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount. Figures checked 2026-09-13.

Why teams leave Dolibarr: The pain is almost entirely operational: self-hosters manage PHP/MySQL upgrades themselves, and the interface feels more like a back-office ERP form than a modern sales CRM; DoliCloud's base-fee-plus-per-user pricing can surprise teams expecting flat pricing.

Migrating from Dolibarr to Geniziz

Objects: Third Party (company/contact), Proposal, Order, Invoice — CRM 'leads' live under the Third Party/Prospect module rather than a dedicated Lead object. CSV export built into every list view.

You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.

How to migrate from Dolibarr to Geniziz

  1. 1. Export your data from Dolibarr (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
  2. 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
  3. 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
  4. 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
