The short version

  • Only Krayin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Krayin it is far less mature than EspoCRM, SuiteCRM or Vtiger, with thinner reporting, weaker forecasting and fewer built-in integrations, so evaluations that start from a feature checklist will not favour it.; UJET the published tier prices exclude nearly every channel, so chat, email, SMS and social cost 10 USD per seat each on top and conversational AI is quoted separately, meaning a realistic omnichannel seat lands well above the advertised 99 USD.
  • They diverge on capability: Krayin covers Lead pipelines, UJET covers Smartphone-native channels.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Krayin

  • It is far less mature than EspoCRM, SuiteCRM or Vtiger, with thinner reporting, weaker forecasting and fewer built-in integrations, so evaluations that start from a feature checklist will not favour it.
  • Practical functionality such as certain telephony, messaging and marketing connectors sits in paid marketplace extensions from Webkul, so the free CRM plus the extensions you actually need is not free.
  • The roadmap is controlled by a single services company whose revenue depends on selling implementation and extensions, so there is a structural incentive against making the core complete.
  • You are responsible for the whole operational burden: PHP and MySQL hosting, backups, security patching, mail deliverability and upgrades, and a botched upgrade of a customised install is your problem alone.
  • The cloud hosting page does not publish prices, so the managed option that would remove that burden cannot be budgeted without contacting sales, which undercuts the transparency the open licence otherwise offers.

UJET

  • The published tier prices exclude nearly every channel, so chat, email, SMS and social cost 10 USD per seat each on top and conversational AI is quoted separately, meaning a realistic omnichannel seat lands well above the advertised 99 USD.
  • Workforce management is a 30 USD per seat add-on rather than a platform capability, so a contact centre buying UJET for its full stack pays roughly a third again on top of the Pro rate before any AI.
  • UJET supplies the technology behind Google Cloud Contact Center AI Platform while Google simultaneously expands its own Customer Engagement Suite, a partner-competitor overlap that analysts have publicly warned could cannibalise UJET, and it introduces roadmap risk into a multi-year contract.
  • The smartphone-native premise only pays off if your customers actually contact you from a mobile app you control; organisations whose volume arrives by inbound telephone number from landlines and desktop web get little benefit from the differentiating features.
  • UJET is materially smaller than NICE, Genesys and Five9, so the partner and consultancy ecosystem for complex integrations, custom reporting and specialist routing design is thinner, and niche requirements more often become professional services line items.
  • UJET sold its own professional services business unit to Onix in July 2025, so implementation and services delivery on a new contract may run through a third party rather than the vendor itself, which changes who is accountable when a deployment slips.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Krayin: Is Krayin really free?

The CRM itself is MIT licensed with no user limit and no enterprise edition. Premium extensions, managed hosting and custom development from Webkul are paid.

UJET: Is UJET the same product as Google Cloud Contact Center AI Platform?

Effectively yes at the platform layer. Google resells UJET technology under its own brand, which is why Dialogflow integration is native rather than bolted on.

Krayin: Who maintains it?

Webkul Software of Noida, India, the same company behind the Bagisto open source ecommerce platform.

UJET: What does a realistic omnichannel seat cost?

Add the channel add-ons to the tier price. Pro at 99 USD plus chat, email, SMS and social at 10 USD each is 139 USD per seat per month before any AI or workforce management.

Krayin: What do I need to run it?

A standard LAMP or LEMP stack with PHP, Composer and MySQL or MariaDB. Any host that runs Laravel will run Krayin.

UJET: Does UJET include workforce management?

No. It is a separate add-on at 30 USD per user per month, so many buyers pair UJET with a dedicated WFM tool instead.

Krayin: How does it compare to EspoCRM?

EspoCRM is more mature with deeper reporting and a longer track record. Krayin is easier for a Laravel developer to extend and has a more permissive licence.

UJET: How large a contact centre does it suit?

It is realistic from roughly 50 seats upward, and most commonly deployed in the 100 to 600 seat range rather than at several-thousand-seat scale.
