CRM and sales decision
Prosperian
A technically competent engineer can build a useful single‑user replacement for Prosperian's core email-based prospecting and CRM sync, but you will lose their large proprietary contact dataset, multichannel orchestration, deliverability/warm-up platform and enterprise features — making the hosted product still compelling for teams that need those capabilities.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All Prosperian alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Continuously find prospects from external sources, enrich contact records, score intent, run personalized multichannel sequences (email ± LinkedIn), collect replies in a unified inbox and convert replies into scheduled meetings.
What it still won’t have
- Access to Prosperian's claimed 650M+ contact base and multi-provider enrichment network
- Built-in deliverability hub & warm-up optimized for outbound at scale
- Prosperian's multichannel orchestration logic and prebuilt LinkedIn automation
- Enterprise features: SSO/SAML, account management, per-team agent tuning
- Out-of-the-box intent signal sources and tuned scoring used by the hosted agent
What remains hard

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted B2B outbound agent using FastAPI (Python) + React frontend + Postgres. Core features in scope: 1) ingest prospects via configurable web scrapers / CSV import and store in Postgres; 2) contact enrichment pipeline using one or two paid enrichment APIs and email verification; 3) simple intent scoring using site-text rules and change-event detectors; 4) email sequencing engine (SMTP via Mailgun/Sendgrid) with templated personalization and per-recipient send/state; 5) CRM sync endpoints for HubSpot/Pipedrive and Google Calendar scheduling for booked meetings; 6) basic unified inbox for replies. Out of scope: LinkedIn automation, warm-up/deliverability optimization at scale, SSO/SAML, and a 650M+ contact database. Include error handling, unit and integration tests, Dockerized deployment, and deployment docs; provide monitoring alerts for delivery failures and broken enrichments.
