Migrate your Krayin CRM data
Open-source Laravel-based CRM with MIT license and self-hosting flexibility. Targets PHP teams who want full code ownership and no per-user licensing costs.
In its favor
Why people choose Krayin CRM
The signal that keeps Krayin CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
MIT license guarantees Krayin remains free with no vendor lock-in, giving teams full source code access for customization and audit without ever paying a license fee.
Self-hosting eliminates per-user SaaS costs entirely; the only costs are infrastructure and internal maintenance time, which appeals to budget-conscious SMBs and Laravel shops.
Built on Laravel and Vue.js, making it familiar territory for PHP developers who want to extend, integrate, or self-host without learning a proprietary platform.
Flexible deployment options support both cloud-hosted and on-premises setups, accommodating organizations with strict data residency or compliance requirements.
Modular architecture allows teams to add or remove packages (Sales, Products, Activities) without a forced all-in-one upgrade path.
Performance lags behind comparable CRMs; users report clunky UX and slow load times that become more pronounced as record volume grows, pushing teams toward faster alternatives.
Small community and limited third-party integrations mean teams requiring niche tools or deep ecosystem apps find Krayin unsupported, driving migrations to platforms with larger marketplaces.
Advanced features require significant developer customization rather than configuration, creating technical debt and ongoing PHP/Laravel maintenance burdens that non-technical teams cannot sustain.
Self-hosting introduces hidden infrastructure and labor costs—VPS hosting, security patches, backups, and freelance developer hours—which accumulate and often exceed the perceived savings of a 'free' CRM.

Pricing tiers
Krayin CRM pricing overview
Krayin CRM itself is free under the MIT license with no per-user cost. Commercial extensions from the Webkul Store (SaaS Subscription, Multi-Tenant SaaS, inventory modules) are sold as one-time or subscription purchases. Customers self-host and pay their own infrastructure costs, making the effective TCO depend heavily on their technical resources rather than a published pricing schedule.

What gets migrated
Krayin CRM object support
Object-by-object support for Krayin CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Leads
Fully supportedKrayin's primary acquisition object. Exposed via REST API with full CRUD and pagination. We import Leads from CSV via the Data Transfer package and map source fields to Krayin's lead schema, preserving lead source, stage, and owner assignment.
Persons
Fully supportedKrayin's Contact equivalent. Supports name, email, phone, address, and custom attributes. We map Person records directly during migration, matching on email as the primary deduplication key and flagging duplicates for customer review.
Companies
Fully supportedOrganization-level records that Persons are associated with. We migrate Companies first in the load order so we can capture Krayin-assigned organization IDs for subsequent Person and Deal association.
Products
Fully supportedKrayin's product catalog object. Can be exported from the UI and re-imported. We map SKU, name, price, and inventory attributes and preserve product-to-quote associations during migration.
Quotes
Mapping requiredQuotes link Persons, Companies, and Products. Krayin's Data Transfer supports quote imports via CSV. We map line items and pricing, though custom quote templates and approval workflows require manual reconfiguration post-migration.
Activities
Mapping requiredTasks, calls, and meetings attached to Leads and Deals. We migrate activity records with timestamps, owners, and descriptions, but activity sequences and linked email threads may require mapping to the destination CRM's activity model.
Pipelines
Mapping requiredKrayin supports multiple pipelines with custom stages. We transfer pipeline definitions and stage assignments for Deals, but stage-to-stage automation rules and workflow triggers require rebuilding in the destination system.
Users
Mapping requiredKrayin User records map to Owners in the CRM sense. We export Users via the REST API and map them to the destination CRM's user model. Role and permission sets require manual reconfiguration since Krayin's RBAC model differs from most SaaS CRMs.
Tags
Mapping requiredKrayin supports tagging on Leads, Persons, and Deals. We transfer tag assignments as string arrays and map them to the destination CRM's tagging taxonomy. Tags with no equivalent in the target system are preserved as custom label fields.
Custom Attributes
Mapping requiredKrayin's custom attribute system allows user-defined fields on standard objects. We export custom field definitions and values via direct database query when the API does not expose them fully, then map them to the destination CRM's equivalent custom field schema.
Workflows
Not in this platformKrayin's workflow automation engine is not exposed via a public migration API. Workflow definitions, triggers, and conditions cannot be exported programmatically. We document the existing workflow logic for manual rebuild in the destination CRM.
Attachments
Not in this platformKrayin stores file attachments on the server filesystem, not in a structured object accessible via the REST API. We cannot migrate attachments directly; customers must export files manually from the storage directory and re-upload to the destination CRM.
