Geniziz vs ERPNext CRM: the ERPNext CRM alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good ERPNext CRM 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 ERPNext CRM costs, and what the same team costs here
ERPNext CRM bills like this: Not per-seat: Frappe Cloud (the official hosting) charges per site/server compute and storage, with unlimited users on any plan.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look.
Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move.
The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price.
ERPNext/Frappe is not priced per seat — unlimited users on any Frappe Cloud plan. $40/mo is Frappe Cloud's published 'Servers' plan starting price (a small dedicated VM), the realistic entry point for a real team versus the $5/mo shared 'Sites' tier meant for testing. Cost does not scale with headcount the way seat-priced CRMs do; heavier usage may require a larger, unpublished resource tier. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount.

What ERPNext CRM is
Open-source ERP with a built-in CRM module (leads, opportunities, contacts) inside Frappe's full business suite.
When you should stay on ERPNext CRM
Makes sense for teams that want CRM as one module inside a full open-source ERP (accounting, HR, inventory) rather than a standalone sales tool, and are comfortable self-hosting or paying Frappe Cloud.
We would rather you stayed on a tool that fits than switched and regretted it. The case for moving is below.
Why teams move to Geniziz
- Unlimited users — invite sales, success, ops and leadership at no extra cost.
- Every feature on every plan — no tier gates automation, reporting or AI.
- Bring your own keys — AI, calling, email and enrichment run on your provider accounts at cost, never resold.
- Unlimited workspaces on one bill, priced only by total contacts.
- Own your data — a full export anytime, an open API, and no paywall on getting it out.
Migrating from ERPNext CRM to Geniziz
Lead, Opportunity, Customer, Contact and Deal are standard Frappe doctypes. Full data export via ERPNext's built-in data export tool, or direct MariaDB access when self-hosted.
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 ERPNext CRM to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from ERPNext CRM (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
