FAQ about SuiteCRM for nonprofits
Is SuiteCRM free?
Yes. SuiteCRM Community is free to download and self-host under AGPL-3.0, with no per-user software licence fee. A nonprofit must still provide hosting, backups, security, updates and technical administration, or purchase managed services at additional cost.
What costs should a nonprofit expect?
The software licence costs nothing, but the organization pays for the deployment it chooses. Self-hosting may require infrastructure and technical staff. Implementation, training and support are optional paid services, while the record does not state their exact prices.
How much does managed SuiteCRM hosting cost?
Fully managed hosting starts at £50 per month on the official pricing page. Application support is required with fully managed hosting. SuiteCRM also lists a hosted free trial, but the record does not state how long the trial lasts or what it includes.
Does SuiteCRM have a nonprofit discount?
No nonprofit discount was found on the official pages reviewed. Free access comes from the AGPL-3.0 community software, which has no per-user licence fee. Hosting, implementation and support remain separate and can incur charges.
