Side by side
A Laravel and Vue CRM for leads, contacts, organisations, pipelines, quotes, activities and email parsing.
A pipeline-focused sales CRM with visual deal stages, activity reminders, email sync and basic automation.
Many useful extensions are paid add-ons from Webkul, and the feature set is basic next to SuiteCRM or EspoCRM.
Reporting and marketing features are shallow, so larger teams outgrow it.
