Free alternatives to Bitrix24
Bitrix24's free plan is generous on users but tight everywhere else. Storage stops at 5 GB, sales automation and multiple pipelines are locked behind paid tiers, and fitting a CRM, project tool, and chat app into one product makes for a busy interface that many people find overwhelming. If you want a cleaner, more focused CRM, or you have hit the storage wall, there are free tools that do less clutter and, in the self-hosted cases, no storage cap at all.

How to choose
If the busy interface is your main complaint, Zoho CRM and HubSpot are more focused hosted CRMs, with HubSpot the easier to learn and Zoho the more generous on features within its three users. If you want to keep unlimited users and drop the storage cap, self-hosting Twenty, EspoCRM, or SuiteCRM removes both limits, since you own the server. The trade for the hosted options is a tighter user cap than Bitrix24's unlimited free plan, so weigh head count against storage before you move.
