EspoCRM pricing

As of 31 August 2026, EspoCRM pricing is free, then $15/month across 4 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

EspoCRM plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-hosted | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Cloud Basic | $15/month | 5 | +$15/month, 5 more features |
| Cloud Enterprise | $25/month | 4 | +$10/month, 4 more features |
| Cloud Ultimate | $69/month | 5 | +$44/month, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring EspoCRM in for a small business that wants a crm on its own hosting with no per-seat fee and no vendor holding its customer data, a public sector or healthcare team with data residency rules that rule out us-hosted commercial crm, a developer or agency needing a crm whose data model can be extended into a bespoke entity structure through configuration, an organisation with many light users, where self-hosting avoids paying seat prices for people who open the crm twice a month. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to EspoCRM are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for EspoCRM
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and $69/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
EspoCRM runs on web, linux, docker, ios, android, and is published by EspoCRM s.r.o. of Czech Republic. The full record is on the EspoCRM review, and the rest of the category is under best crm tools.
