Salesforce publishes the price of every Sales Cloud edition, in dollars, euros and other currencies⁠1Sales Cloud pricingSalesforce.

Best for: Sales organisations replacing SAP Sales Cloud or an older SAP CRM that want a market-standard CRM with published editions from small team to enterprise.

Not the right fit for: Companies trying to reduce the number of separate subscriptions, since it replaces the CRM only.

Editions and prices

Starter Suite costs $25 per user a month and can be billed monthly. Pro Suite costs $100, Core $195, Advanced $395 and Max $550, billed annually⁠1Sales Cloud pricingSalesforce.

AI

Agentforce for Sales and Agentforce Coworker are included in the Max edition. For other editions, Agentforce for Sales is an add-on from $125 per user a month, and AI can be added to Core and above⁠1Sales Cloud pricingSalesforce.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

• Every edition has a public price in several currencies, including euros.
• An entry edition billed monthly, which suits small teams.
• AI agents are available as a priced add-on.

Limits

• The gap between editions is wide: Core is $195 and Advanced $395 per user a month.
• Agentforce for Sales costs from $125 per user a month on top, unless the Max edition is bought.
• Replaces the CRM only.

Choose another option if: You are a small team (HubSpot has a free tier), or you want CRM as a module of the system that also runs operations (OpenLazarus, Odoo, NetSuite).

Pricing

Published per user a month: Starter Suite $25, Pro Suite $100, Core $195, Advanced $395, Max $550; Agentforce for Sales add-on from $125.

What to ask Salesforce

• Which edition do our sales processes actually require?
• What does Agentforce add to the bill for our team?
• How will customer and order data sync with the ERP?
• What are the renewal terms?
