A listing is a starting point for a pilot, not an endorsement. Counts come from the canonical directory export (2026-10-23).
Explore tools for CRM, prospect tours, meeting rooms, membership agreements, marketing, events, accounting and member experience. No account is needed to browse.
Listings include open-source, open-core, free-tier and paid software. Each entry shows its license, cost model and review status. Self-hosting requires infrastructure and someone to maintain it.
