Why switch from Twenty to ClientFlo
Twenty is great for developers who want a lightweight CRM. ClientFlo is built for teams that need an all-in-one business platform.
MIT License
ClientFlo is MIT licensed — you can modify, redistribute, and use it commercially without restrictions. Twenty uses AGPL-3.0, which imposes stricter copyleft requirements on derivative works.
Client Portal Built In
Give clients a dedicated dashboard to view projects, invoices, and documents. Twenty doesn't offer a client portal — you'd need a third-party tool.
Time Tracking + Invoicing
Track billable hours and generate invoices inside ClientFlo. Twenty requires separate plugins or integrations for both features.
9 Integrated Modules
Projects, invoices, time tracking, messaging, meetings, analytics, contracts, and client portal — all in one workspace.
Business-Friendly Stack
Built on Next.js 16 and React 19 — easy to customize, extend, and deploy. Twenty uses a custom GraphQL stack that's harder to modify.
No Vendor Lock-In
Self-host on any Node.js server or deploy via Vercel. Your data, your infrastructure. Twenty also supports self-hosting, but the AGPL license adds compliance overhead.
