MiniCRM is a Hungarian boxed mini CRM for small businesses: customers, quotes, projects and email in one system. Fast to roll out, with local support. It works when your process fits the template — if not, custom CRM is the MiniCRM alternative.

How much does MiniCRM cost?

MiniCRM pricing depends on plan and user count, typically €15–40 per user per month, plus paid modules. For a 5–10 person team that's thousands a year — and you pay the license for as long as you use it.

MiniCRM or custom CRM — which should I choose?

Stay on MiniCRM if your flow is lead → quote → invoice, integrations are few, and the team already knows it. Switch to custom CRM development if you need industry fields, production/warehouse/store connections, or the monthly fee grows while the limits stay.

Is MiniCRM a good small-business CRM?

Yes — for many Hungarian SMBs MiniCRM is the right first small-business CRM. The question is not whether it is 'good', but whether it fits: if your process is standard, stay. If you are already working around it, the MiniCRM alternative is a custom system.

Do we lose data during migration?

No. Customer database, quotes, projects export from MiniCRM. We import into the new system.

How long do they run in parallel?

Typically 2–4 weeks. Enough for the team to adapt and verify data.

Do we need a MiniCRM expert for migration?

Not on your side. We handle export and import — we only need MiniCRM admin access.

What if we want to go back?

Exported data remains. But most clients don't want to after 1–2 weeks — custom CRM fits their process.

MiniCRM alternative

MiniCRM is a good fit — while it fits.

MiniCRM (often searched as mini CRM) is many Hungarian SMBs' first small-business CRM — and it works for a long time. When your process no longer fits the box, custom CRM development can be cheaper and more effective long term.

When to stay on MiniCRM

MiniCRM is a Hungarian mini CRM for SMBs: fast to roll out, local support, enough for standard sales. If these hold, no need to switch.

Standard sales flow: lead → quote → order → invoice.
Built-in modules (project, invoicing, email) cover 80% of your needs.
No complex integration with your own systems (ERP, production, logistics).
Your team is used to it and productivity isn't suffering.

4 signs you've outgrown MiniCRM

I typically hear these limits when the company is growing or specializing.

Your process doesn't fit the template

Custom statuses, multi-step approvals, industry fields — MiniCRM needs workarounds.

Integration walls

Production, warehouse, or webshop don't talk natively to MiniCRM — manual copy remains.

License cost grows, value doesn't

More users, more modules, same limits. Thousands per year and it's still not yours.

Reports and dashboards missing

KPIs for leadership aren't available, or you need export + Excel combo.

MiniCRM vs. custom CRM

Aspect	MiniCRM	Custom CRM
Rollout time	1–2 weeks (signup, setup)	6–12 weeks (build, test, training)
Monthly cost	License per user + modules	No license — optional maintenance
Customization	Built-in fields, limited logic	Any process, field, rule
Integrations	Predefined connections	Connect to any system
Data ownership	On MiniCRM servers, exportable	Your server / EU cloud, full control
Scaling	License and module limits	Expandable with your growth
Industry process	Template sales (lead → invoice)	Built around yours (e.g. project, production)
Who owns it?	Subscription: no pay, no access	Yours — source code and data under your control

Migrating from MiniCRM to custom CRM

MiniCRM data exports cleanly — customers, quotes, and projects aren't lost.

MiniCRM export and cleanup
Customers, contacts, quotes, projects exported as CSV/JSON, duplicates filtered.
Process redesign
We don't copy MiniCRM logic 1:1 — we design how it should ideally work.
Import and parallel run
Data loaded into the new system, short parallel period for confidence.
Retire MiniCRM
New CRM goes live, MiniCRM subscription can be cancelled — archive stays in export.

Cost comparison

MiniCRM: typically €15–40/user/month + modules — for an 8-person team that's €1,500–4,000 a year, and the system is not yours. Custom CRM development: €3,800–12,500 one-off, then optional maintenance, unlimited users. Over 3–5 years your own small-business CRM is often cheaper.

Let's calculate: how many users, which MiniCRM modules, annual license vs. one-off build + maintenance?
