Why Teams Switch from Salesforce
What sales teams gain when they move from Salesforce to SalesOS.
Faster Implementation
Self-serve setup: create pipelines, import a Salesforce CSV export with AI-assisted mapping, and connect Gmail or Outlook without a partner.
Lower Total Cost
Published per-seat plans from $25/seat/mo, graduated volume discounts up to 40% on Enterprise, and CPQ, forecasting and AI in the plan.
Better AI Integration
The AI copilot, deal scoring and agents with an approval inbox are part of the platform — use the platform LLM or bring your own key.
