Overview

Relaticle is an AGPL-3.0 CRM covering companies, people, opportunities, tasks and notes. Records can be worked on in the UI, through a built-in AI chat with @-mentions, voice input and approval prompts before destructive edits, or by outside agents such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via an MCP server with 30 tools and a REST API. It runs on your own server or on Relaticle's managed cloud.

Best for
Teams wanting a self-hosted, open-source CRM that external AI agents can drive over MCP
Pricing
Free on both published plans: the self-hosted AGPL-3.0 build is free forever, and managed Cloud is listed at $0/month with no per-seat pricing.

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • API quality

    Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Pricing transparency

    Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.

Where this comes from

The Relaticle pages BenchRank reads when it scores the product — its documentation, release notes, status and security pages, and its repository where there is one.
