Laravel CRM โ€” Self-Hosted, Open to Extend

Grow CRM is a self-hosted Laravel CRM built for freelancers, consultants and agencies who want to own their data and shape their own tools. Manage clients, leads, projects, time and invoicing from one application that runs on your server โ€” pay once, run it forever, and extend it in a PHP framework your developers already know.

Why choose a Laravel CRM?

Most CRMs are SaaS black boxes: monthly per-user fees, your data on someone else’s servers, and no way to change how the app behaves. A Laravel-based CRM flips every one of those trade-offs in your favour:

  • You own the data. Grow CRM runs on your server and your database โ€” customer records, invoices and files never leave your infrastructure.
  • You can extend it. Laravel is one of the most popular, best-documented PHP frameworks in the world. Any Laravel developer can read the code, add fields, hook into events, or wire it into your existing stack.
  • You pay once. No per-seat pricing that charges you more every time the team grows.
  • It scales on your terms. Add users, clients and projects without watching a monthly invoice climb.

If your business already runs on PHP/Laravel โ€” or you simply want a CRM you control rather than rent โ€” this is the ownership model that compounds in your favour instead of the vendor’s.

Built on Laravel โ€” the technical reality

“Built on Laravel” isn’t a marketing line here. Grow CRM is a standard Laravel application you deploy on ordinary PHP hosting, which means your team can read it, host it and extend it without surprises:

  • Stack: PHP + Laravel, backed by a MySQL or MariaDB database.
  • Required PHP extensions: BCMath, Ctype, Fileinfo, JSON, Mbstring, OpenSSL, PDO, Tokenizer and XML โ€” all standard on modern PHP hosting.
  • Hosting: runs on a basic VPS or shared cPanel/Plesk hosting with an SSL certificate. No exotic infrastructure required.
  • Source included: the regular license ships with the full source files, so your developers have everything they need to customise and deploy.
  • Free installation: the team sets it up for you โ€” most installs are live in under 24 hours.

Because it’s a conventional Laravel codebase, extending Grow CRM looks like extending any Laravel app: add migrations and fields, build modules, integrate third-party APIs, and lean on the framework’s docs and ecosystem.

Every module your business needs โ€” built in

Grow CRM is a complete client-and-project operating system out of the box. Everything below lives in one self-hosted Laravel app, so there are no integrations to stitch together and no data scattered across vendors.

CRM & lead management

Capture and track opportunities, nurture leads into paying customers, and keep every client’s details, history and files in one place.

Projects & tasks

Run projects end to end. Assign tasks to one or multiple team members, set priorities and deadlines, and track progress as work moves forward.

Time tracking

Log time against project tasks and bill it straight to the client โ€” no separate timer tool, no copying hours between systems.

Invoicing & payments

Flexible billing for time worked, expenses incurred and custom products. Send professional invoices and get paid faster.

Client portal & knowledge base

Give clients their own self-service portal and a help/knowledge repository, so they can find answers and check project status without adding to your support load.

Team roles & permissions

Comprehensive user roles define exactly what each team member can see and do โ€” work solo or run a full team with confidence.

Themes & languages

Grow CRM ships with multiple built-in themes (including light and dark) and is translated into 30+ languages, so your team and clients work in the look and language they prefer.

Who Grow CRM is for

  • Freelancers & consultants who want one tool for clients, projects and getting paid โ€” without a monthly subscription.
  • Small businesses that need CRM, projects and invoicing in a single self-hosted app they control.
  • Web & dev agencies that want a Laravel CRM they can host, brand and extend for themselves and their clients.

Laravel CRM vs SaaS CRM

How a self-hosted Laravel CRM compares with a typical subscription SaaS CRM:

Grow CRM (self-hosted Laravel) Typical SaaS CRM
Data location Your server, your database Vendor’s cloud
Pricing One-time license Monthly, per user
Customisation Full source โ€” extend in Laravel Limited to vendor settings
Scaling cost Add users free Cost rises with every seat
Lock-in None โ€” you hold the code & data Tied to the platform

Want to run your own CRM SaaS?

If you’d rather sell CRM access than just use it, the Grow CRM SaaS version adds multi-tenancy and is 100% white-label: offer customers their own branded CRM instance, create unlimited plans and pricing, and keep all the revenue on a one-time purchase. Ideal for agencies building a recurring-revenue product on top of Laravel.

Grow CRM is a one-time purchase โ€” no recurring SaaS fees and no per-user charges. The license includes:

  • Full source files to self-host and extend
  • Free installation โ€” live in under 24 hours
