Yes. The code of all 3 is public under AGPL 3.0 or MIT, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.

Start from the job you use folk CRM for. Choose Atomic CRM when you want a simple contact CRM whose React code your developer can change screen by screen. Choose Relaticle when your team sells to a named list of companies and wants unlimited users on one price per workspace.

All 3: Twenty, Relaticle and Atomic CRM. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.

AGPL 3.0 (2), MIT (1). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely. GPL and AGPL ask you to share your changes under the same licence when you give the software to others, and AGPL also counts letting people use it over a network.

The hosting. folk CRM's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
