How to choose

If you want to run the software yourself and own the server, look at Monica or EspoCRM. Both are open source. Umfeld is a hosted service and cannot be self-hosted.

If you live in LinkedIn and want a browser extension, Dex is built for that. Umfeld has neither.

If your circle is friends, family and the people you met along the way, and your contacts already sit in Google, that is the case Umfeld is built for. It syncs from Google Contacts, keeps how you met and who knows whom, and lets your AI read and write it over MCP.

What these pages leave out
