The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Oct 2026

Comp AI CRM flips the usual setup: an AI agent runs on its own schedule and the CRM is where it keeps notes. It reads your team's inbox, turns new people into contacts, enriches companies and books its own follow-ups, with an Agent tab on each record showing its reasoning. It's MIT, from Comp AI, the compliance-software company.

Self-hosting means three deployments plus Postgres: a Next.js app, a NestJS API and the agent. You need Bun, Docker and a Google or Microsoft OAuth app, and it's single-tenant by design. It leans hard on Vercel: the model runs through Vercel's AI Gateway, keyless only when deployed on Vercel.

No paid tier, no hosted version. The model calls cost money, though: AI Gateway bills provider list prices past a $5 monthly credit, and LinkedIn and company data come from Context, free for 1,000 credits a month, then $19/month. Solo and small sales teams: free software, budget for tokens. Bigger orgs: this isn't Salesforce.

The catch: it's young and has gone quiet. The last release shipped August 21 and the main branches haven't moved since. It also sends anonymous telemetry daily unless you set CRM_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1. Test it on copied data first.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Free: Everything, under MIT: contacts, companies, deals, inbox and calendar sync, the research agent (18 authored tools, 4 skills, its own work queue and schedule) and the per-record Agent tab. Single tenant by design. Anonymous daily telemetry is on by default; CRM_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 turns it off.

Self-hosted: The only way to run it. Three deployments (Next.js app, NestJS API, agent) plus Postgres; Bun and Docker locally. Sign-in needs a Google OAuth client, a Microsoft Entra app, or your own IdP. Redis optional. Built for Vercel: the model runs through Vercel AI Gateway (OIDC on Vercel, AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY elsewhere), the agent sandbox is Vercel Sandbox in production (Docker or microsandbox locally), and profile photos are stored in Vercel Blob if you set a token.

Paid: Nothing from Comp AI. The paid dependencies are the model and enrichment: Vercel AI Gateway charges provider list prices with no markup after $5/month of free credit on free-tier models; Context (LinkedIn + company brand data, one key) is free for 1,000 credits/month, Developer $19/month for 7,500; Perplexity web search bills on its own API key. The agent works with none of the enrichment keys, but not without a model.

The CRM is MIT and free with no hosted upsell. Budget for the agent's model tokens through Vercel AI Gateway, plus Context at $19/month if you want LinkedIn and company enrichment past the free 1,000 credits.
