Frequently asked
Vtiger alternatives FAQ
- Is Vtiger free?
- Vtiger has a free forever plan called ONE Pilot, capped at 10 users and 3,000 records, which covers lead and contact management, one view, duplicate prevention, contact engagement and internal collaboration. Paid plans start at $12 per user per month billed annually for ONE Growth. There is also a 15-day free trial on paid plans with no credit card required.
- How much does Vtiger cost?
- On annual billing, ONE Growth is $12 per user per month for standard users, ONE Professional is $30, ONE Enterprise is $42 and ONE AI is $50. Vtiger also sells single-app licences for role-specific users at $20, $30 and $38 per user per month on Professional, Enterprise and AI respectively, which gives full access to one app plus view-only access to the others. Local taxes are charged in addition.
- What is the best free open source alternative to Vtiger?
- EspoCRM is the closest open source alternative, with a free self-hosted edition and cloud plans from $15 per user per month. SuiteCRM is the other long-standing open source CRM and is free to self-host. Odoo CRM has a free Community edition that covers the CRM app, and Bitrix24 offers a free tier with a self-hosted option. Zoho CRM also has a free edition for up to 3 users if you would rather not run a server.
- Does Vtiger include help desk and inventory?
- Yes. Vtiger ONE is a suite rather than a pure CRM: it bundles contact, account and lead management with marketing campaigns, help desk and customer portal, inventory and invoicing, projects and reports. Advanced help desk automation, subscription and vendor management, work order management and advanced project automation arrive on the higher Professional and Enterprise tiers.
- Can I migrate my Vtiger data to another CRM?
- Migration is possible but rarely automatic. Vtiger stores contacts, accounts, deals and activities in a MySQL database, and most replacements do not ship a Vtiger importer. In practice you export to CSV and re-import, then rebuild pipelines, custom fields, workflows, email templates and reports in the new CRM. Budget for a medium to hard migration rather than a one-click switch.
