## What it is
EspoCRM is a free, open-source CRM web application with a PHP REST API backend and a single-page application frontend. It manages leads, contacts, opportunities, campaigns, support cases, and documents, and serves as a customizable platform for building business applications.

## Use cases
- manage leads and sales pipeline for a small business
- self-hosted open source CRM alternative to Salesforce
- customer support portal with knowledge base and cases
- email marketing campaigns and mass email from CRM
- build custom business apps with custom entities and fields
- integrate CRM with other tools via REST API
- track contacts, accounts, and calendar activities

## When to choose
- you want a free, self-hosted, on-premise CRM with full source access
- you need deep customization: custom entities, fields, layouts, and formula scripts
- you want sales, marketing, and support in one clean interface
- you need a straightforward REST API for integrations
- you run PHP 8.3+ with MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL

## When to avoid
- your stack is not PHP-based and you prefer a Node/Python CRM
- you need a fully managed SaaS with no server administration
- you require advanced features like reports, BPM, or invoicing without paid extensions
- you need a lightweight contact list rather than a full CRM platform
