Bitrix24 vs HumHub hosted by CUZY

A Bitrix24 alternative focused on your people, not your pipeline

Bitrix24 bundles CRM, tasks, sites and a social intranet into one suite priced by user tier. Organizations that want the intranet part, with unlimited members, open-source code and data in a region they choose, get it with HumHub hosted by CUZY.

What Bitrix24 is

Bitrix24 is a proprietary business suite: CRM, tasks and projects, communication, websites and HR tools, sold as cloud plans by user count and storage, and as a separately licensed on-premise edition. Its intranet is one part of a much larger product.

Facts about Bitrix24 come from the vendor's own pages, checked in September 2026: Bitrix24 prices, Bitrix24 self-hosted edition, Bitrix24 security, Bitrix24 helpdesk: Configure Single Sign-On. Prices are those published by the vendor (US dollars); they may have changed since. Tell us about an error on the contact page and we correct it.

What HumHub hosted by CUZY is

An open-source social network and intranet platform (spaces, streams, wiki, files, calendar, tasks, polls, messaging, member directory, mobile app), extended by the HumHub marketplace and by every CUZY module, hosted by CUZY on dedicated servers in the region you choose, with a flat price and unlimited members.

Where CUZY is the stronger choice

One price, every member

Team and Business are priced per community, not per user tier. Including every employee, volunteer or member costs nothing extra.

Open source, not a licensed on-premise edition

Leaving Bitrix24 with the software means buying its on-premise license. HumHub is AGPL: the export runs on any server, for free.

Data in the region you choose, and single sign-on on every plan

Germany (EU), the USA or Singapore (APAC), on dedicated servers, with backups with a second provider in the same region. Sign-in with your identity provider is on every plan; on Bitrix24 cloud it is an Enterprise feature.

A focused, extensible intranet

Spaces, streams, wiki, files, calendar, tasks, polls and a mobile app, extended by the HumHub marketplace, without a CRM you did not ask for.

Security described, not asserted

Isolated stack per community, encrypted backups with restore tests, security fixes within 48 hours, processor agreement.

Where Bitrix24 fits better

Bitrix24 is the better fit when the CRM, sales automation and telephony are the primary need and the intranet is a bonus, or when a team wants CRM, tasks and chat in one suite from one vendor.

Switching from Bitrix24

Start a free trial, import members and content with our help, connect your identity provider, and run both platforms side by side until you are ready. Subscribers can export everything from CUZY once a day, so the move is never a one-way door. Tell us about your current setup and we assess what can be carried over.

Bitrix24 vs CUZY: questions

Is HumHub hosted by CUZY an alternative to Bitrix24?

For the intranet and collaboration part, yes: news, spaces, wiki, files, calendar, tasks, polls, messaging and a mobile app, with unlimited members at a flat price. HumHub is not a CRM; organizations that need one keep their CRM and use HumHub as the social layer.

Does HumHub have a self-hosted edition like Bitrix24 on-premise?

HumHub is open source, so self-hosting is free and needs no separate license. CUZY Hosting is the managed option; the export from it runs on your own servers unchanged.

Can HumHub do task management?

Yes, with the Tasks module (task lists per space, assignments, deadlines) and the Calendar module, plus surveys, polls and wiki. It does not replace a project-management suite with Gantt charts and time tracking.
