Which to pick
- Pick Pipedrive when

- Pick Twenty when
- You want a modern alternative to Salesforce that your team can self-host, reshape around its own data model and extend through the API.
Side by side
A pipeline-focused sales CRM with visual deal stages, activity reminders, email sync and basic automation.
A CRM for tracking companies, people and deals, with custom objects and fields, email and calendar sync, workflows and a GraphQL and REST API.
Reporting and marketing features are shallow, so larger teams outgrow it.
Self-hosting means running Postgres, Redis and a worker, and some enterprise features sit under a separate commercial license rather than the AGPL.
