Existing customer on Enterprise Edition or Unlimited Edition

Salesforce writes: “Existing customer pricing on legacy editions remains unchanged.” The announcement does not say how long a legacy edition can be renewed, nor whether the unchanged price applies at the next renewal. It adds that availability “is governed by customer agreements”, which makes the signed order form the reference for each account. On the timing of a move to a new edition, the pricing page says only that the Account Executive can help compare options and “pick the right time to make the move”. The earlier list prices of Enterprise and Unlimited no longer appear on Salesforce's pricing page, so this page gives no before-and-after difference for these two editions.

New customer

The plan cards and the FAQ of the Sales pricing page name five paid plans: Starter Suite at $25 per user per month (billed monthly or annually), Pro Suite at $100, Core at $195, Advanced at $395 and Max at $550, the last four billed annually. The comparison table also lists a Free Suite at $0. Enterprise and Unlimited are not among them. The pricing page states that Agentforce, Slack, Tableau, Data 360 and Premier Success are now included in every edition, and the announcement adds Flex Credits: 500,000 on Core, 1 million on Advanced and 2.75 million on Max.

Agentforce 1 Edition customer

Max carries the same price as Agentforce 1 Edition: the announcement describes it as a “zero pricing change” at $550 per user per month. Salesforce states that existing Agentforce 1 Edition customers “can upgrade at no extra cost” to the new Max edition, “with up to $500 in added value”. The section of the announcement that gives the prices is headed “no price increase” for the top edition; it makes no such statement for Core or Advanced, and gives no earlier price for them.

Agentforce Industries customer

No figure is published yet. The announcement says only: “New pricing for Agentforce Industry Editions will go into effect later this fall.”

How this follows the 2025 change

The previous change to Enterprise and Unlimited was announced on 17 June 2025: Salesforce then stated that list prices would increase by an average of 6% on 1 August 2025, with no planned change for Starter or Pro.

Salesforce states that pricing and packaging are subject to change and that availability may vary by region and is governed by customer agreements.

What to do before your renewal

Each step below rests on a statement Salesforce has published. Where Salesforce is silent, the step says so.

  1. Read the edition named on the order form

    The announcement keeps pricing unchanged for customers on legacy editions and adds that availability is governed by customer agreements. The edition name, the unit price and the renewal date on the order form are therefore the figures that count for an existing account.

  2. Ask for the legacy renewal terms in writing

    Salesforce gives no end date for Enterprise Edition and Unlimited Edition and no rule for their renewal; its pricing page refers customers to their Account Executive to compare options and pick the time of the move. A written answer on the renewal price and on the last renewable term of the legacy edition closes that gap before the renewal date.

  3. Compare the new bundle with add-ons already paid for

    Core, Advanced and Max include Agentforce, Slack, Tableau, Data 360, Premier Success and Flex Credits. A team that already pays for some of these separately can set the per-user price of the new edition against the legacy edition plus those add-ons; a team that uses none of them pays for a bundle it does not need.

  4. On Agentforce 1 Edition, plan the move to Max

    Salesforce states that existing Agentforce 1 Edition customers can upgrade to Max at no extra cost, and lists Max at the same $550 per user per month. According to the pricing page, the account team maps the current licenses to Max and handles the upgrade.

  5. Price the smaller Salesforce plans and the alternatives

    The pricing page still lists a Free Suite at $0, Starter Suite at $25 and Pro Suite at $100 per user per month. The ten alternatives below are ranked by how many of 18 Salesforce Sales features each one documents, with the entry price set against Starter Suite.

10 alternatives to consider now

The ten tools below are ranked by similarity to Salesforce Sales: the share of 18 features of its pricing page that each vendor documents on its own site, weighted by importance. The price difference compares each entry price with Salesforce's first paid plan, Starter Suite at $25 per user per month. All ten entry prices are below Core at $195 per user per month. Entry prices are billed monthly unless the row says otherwise. Pipedrive is not ranked: its pricing page could not be read on 12 Nov 2026.

Updates to this page

  1. Page published. Salesforce's announcement of 3 September 2026 and its Sales pricing page read; entry prices and features of the ten alternatives read on each vendor's site. The archived copy of the earlier pricing page could not be opened, so no previous price is stated for Enterprise and Unlimited.

FAQ

When do the new Salesforce editions take effect?

Salesforce announced Core, Advanced and Max on 3 September 2026 and gives no effective date for them. The Sales pricing page lists the three editions and their prices as of 12 November 2026. For Agentforce Industries, the announcement says new pricing will go into effect later this fall.

Do existing Enterprise and Unlimited customers pay more?

Salesforce states that existing customer pricing on legacy editions remains unchanged. It does not say for how long, nor what applies at renewal, and it adds that availability is governed by customer agreements.

What did Enterprise and Unlimited cost before the announcement?

Salesforce's current pricing page no longer shows these two editions, and the archived copy of the earlier page could not be opened on 12 November 2026. This page therefore states no previous price and no difference for them. Agentforce 1 Edition was listed from $550 per user per month, the price Max now carries.

What is the closest alternative to Salesforce?

Zoho CRM, with a similarity of 100%: its edition comparison documents an equivalent for each of the 18 Salesforce features on the grid. Standard is listed at $20 per user per month on monthly billing.

Which alternative has the lowest entry price?

Freshsales Growth, at $11 per user per month on monthly billing, is the lowest list entry price of the ten. HubSpot displays $10 per seat on monthly payment for new customers, beside a list price of $20. HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Attio and Odoo also publish a free plan.
