What Meow is
Meow is an open-source CRM and sales pipeline for managing opportunities and customer data. Its Kanban board lets users drag opportunities between configurable sales stages, while customizable opportunity fields can match a team’s process. The product shows sales progression, closed deals, team performance, and forecasts for the current month or quarter. Meow is API-first: its REST API and OpenAPI definition support creating leads and connecting other services. It can run on a user’s server, a preferred cloud provider, or the maker’s infrastructure. Self-hosting requires MongoDB, with Docker instructions provided. The maker says transmissions use TLS and stored data is encrypted at rest. Meow offers web, API, and self-hosted access. The Individual plan costs nothing, billed monthly. Hosted Meow Cloud plans cost $15 a month for fewer than 1,000 records or $60 a month for 1,000–250,000 records.
