Go deeper: the five editions, their billing and what we check first
- Starter Suite, $25: billed monthly or annually; leads, accounts, contacts and opportunities, with email and calendar sync. We check whether your process fits Starter as it comes, so you can stay month to month.
- Pro Suite, $100: billed annually; adds customization, automation, quoting and forecasting; API access is $25 a user a month extra. We check whether quoting and forecasting earn the step up, and whether anything you run needs API access.
- Core, $195: billed annually; API access and the Premier Success Plan included. We check whether an ERP or SAP sync, which needs API access, makes Core the cheaper route.
- Advanced, $395: billed annually; adds stronger security, backup and archiving, and more data capacity. We check whether your data volume, security or backup needs justify the step up.
- Max, $550: billed annually; adds Salesforce's full AI suite, Agentforce included, plus planning tools. We check which AI features your team would use, before you pay for them.
