The Own Model
What does "Own" mean?▼
CRMown is the only CRM platform that offers a perpetual license option. Pay once, host it yourself, and own it forever. No monthly fees. No vendor lock-in. Your data stays on your server.
Own pricing: Starter $5,000 / Pro $10,000 / Max $20,000. Pro Own customers can add suites for $2,000 each (one-time).
How does self-hosting work?▼
After purchase, you receive a Docker image containing the full CRMown stack: Next.js frontend, Fastify API, PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, and BullMQ workers. Deploy on any server — DigitalOcean, AWS, your own hardware. SSL auto-configures via Let's Encrypt. A setup wizard walks you through initial configuration.
Do Own customers get updates?▼
Own customers receive updates for one year after purchase. After that, your version continues to work indefinitely — you just won't get new features unless you renew. Critical security patches are always provided.
Payments & Billing
What payment methods do you accept?▼
SaaS subscriptions accept credit and debit cards via Stripe. Own purchases also accept ACH bank transfers. All payments are processed securely through Stripe — CRMown never stores your card details.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?▼
Yes. Go to Settings → Billing in the app. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.
How do I cancel my subscription?▼
Go to Settings → Billing and click "Cancel Subscription." Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. You can export all data before cancellation. We don't delete your data immediately — it's retained for 30 days in case you change your mind.
Do you offer refunds?▼
CRMown is month-to-month with no contracts — cancel anytime from Settings → Billing. Our expectation is that you try the platform on a monthly plan before committing to an Own purchase. When you're ready to buy, your first 3 months of SaaS payments are credited toward the ownership price. Because of this try-before-you-buy model, we don't offer traditional refunds — you're never locked in.
Affiliate Program
How does the affiliate program work?▼
Active CRMown customers can earn recurring commissions by referring new users:
- 1-9 referrals: 15% recurring commission
- 10-24 referrals: 20%
- 25-49 referrals: 25%
- 50-99 referrals: 30%
- 100+ referrals: 35%
Earn free plans too: 3 referrals = free Starter, 9 = free Pro, 25+ = free Max. Own referrals earn 10% one-time ($500 / $1,000 / $2,000).
What's the founding customer pricing lock?▼
Customers who sign up before March 2027 lock in their current pricing permanently. If prices increase later, your rate stays the same as long as your subscription remains active.
