twenty
Twenty is a CRM built on NestJS, React, PostgreSQL and Redis, with BullMQ for jobs. Teams define custom objects, fields and views in TypeScript with twenty-sdk, scaffold apps with `npx create-twenty-app`, and publish them to a workspace from the CLI. It also includes workflows, AI agents and chat, and runs as a cloud service or self-hosted via Docker Compose.
Who it is for: Technical teams building a custom, code-defined CRM
Strengths
- Objects, fields and views defined in TypeScript and published with `npx twenty app:publish`
- Cloud and self-hosted options; Docker Compose guide in the docs
- Official agent skills for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to build Twenty apps
- Standard stack: NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, React, Nx monorepo
Weaknesses
- License is reported as NOASSERTION; terms need manual checking
- README gives no RAM, CPU or port requirements for self-hosting
- Self-hosting needs PostgreSQL and Redis alongside the app
- README does not name supported AI providers or models
- TypeScript
- Needs PostgreSQL, Redis
quasar
Quasar is a Vue.js framework with a component library and a Vite-based CLI. One codebase can target SPAs, SSR, SSG, PWAs, browser extensions, hybrid mobile apps and Electron apps. The README says its docs and API can be read offline by AI coding agents and lists an @quasar/mcp package. It is a general UI framework, not an AI starter with auth or billing.

- Docs and API readable offline by coding agents, plus an @quasar/mcp package
- MIT license, with separate CI test workflows per package
Weaknesses
- No built-in auth, billing, database or model integration
- Tied to Vue.js; not usable with React or other frameworks
- AI support is limited to docs and an MCP package, with no LLM features
- Fits the SaaS and app starters category only loosely; it is a UI framework
