Twenty

Deploy Twenty on CloudStation Without Managing Servers

What is Twenty? Twenty is an open-source CRM positioned as an alternative to Salesforce and designed for modern technical teams. It gives teams CRM building blocks such as objects, views, workflows, and agents, and it can be self-hosted with Docker Compose for organizations that want more control over their CRM stack.

Deploy Twenty on CloudStation when you want a self-hosted CRM without setting up servers, databases, domains, SSL, backups, or Docker deployment by hand. It is a strong fit for startups and technical teams that want CRM ownership, a modern interface, and a cleaner path than committing to a heavyweight enterprise CRM from day one.

Best For and Not Best For

Best for: startups, agencies, consultants, and technical teams that want a modern self-hosted CRM, stronger data control, and room to shape workflows over time.
Not best for: organizations that primarily want a fully managed all-in-one marketing suite or the deepest enterprise CRM ecosystem. In those cases, HubSpot or Salesforce may still be the better fit.
