9/19 signals

Why this score

Not enough measured signals for Owner-safe, and the score is outside the Needs-a-techie band. Captured 2026-10-15. Unmeasured signals add nothing and are not treated as failures.

Alive14/20
  • Last push. 8 points. GitHub pushed_at was 0 days before 2026-10-15.
  • Releases in 12 months. 6 points. The public releases feed shows at least 10 tagged releases in the last 12 months.
  • How fast issues close. Not measured. Median issue-close time is not in the seed snapshot, so this signal is omitted.
Trusted4.8/20
  • OpenSSF Scorecard. 3.2 points. OpenSSF Scorecard 4.6 out of 10.
  • Open critical or high vulnerabilities. Not measured. Open vulnerability counts were not fetched. We do not assume zero.
  • Contributors in 90 days. Not measured. 90-day contributor counts were not fetched.
  • Bus factor. Not measured. Contributor share was not fetched.
  • Stars. 1.6 points. 3,489 stars, log-scaled and capped at 20,000.
Takeoverable11.7/25
  • Licence. 6 points. Licence class network copyleft.
  • Stack. 3.8 points. PHP. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Vue score as widely hireable.
  • Tests and CI. 1.9 points. A CI workflow file was found. A test suite was not separately confirmed, so this signal scores half.
  • Docs quality. Not measured. Docs quality is an LLM rubric. v1 does not invent that score.
  • Data export. Not measured. Data-export was not audited app by app, so it is omitted.
Easy to run5/20
  • One-click deploy. Not measured. No one-click host was verified for this app, so the signal is omitted rather than scored as a failure.
  • Managed cloud or done-for-you. 5 points. SeatLess offers done-for-you setup. A vendor cloud, where listed, is the vendor’s own hosting, not a licence you own.
  • Docker Compose. Not measured. No Dockerfile or Compose file at the usual paths. It may still exist elsewhere, so this is omitted.
  • Memory needs. Not measured. Memory needs were not measured.
  • Setup steps. Not measured. Setup-step rubric was not run.
Feature fit15/15
  • Coverage of the incumbent’s main jobs. 15 points. Editorial reading of public docs. Not a certified feature audit. Unknown jobs are left out of the average.

What it replaces

EspoCRM covers accounts, contacts, leads, and a pipeline, and it is built to be customised. The repository is AGPL-3.0. It looks more like classic CRM software than Twenty does, which some teams prefer.

Feature coverage vs Pipedrive

Editorial, from public descriptions. A dash means we did not assess that job. This is not a lab test, and Pipedrive has not reviewed it.

Licence, in plain language

AGPL-3.0 Network copyleft

You can use, change, and run it. If you offer the software as a service, you share the changes you make. That is the usual Affero GPL bargain.

AGPL-3.0.
