What does it cost?

Salesforce price: $25 per user per month (Starter Suite plan, billed annually). Sales Cloud Starter Suite $25/user/mo; Pro Suite $100; Enterprise $175; Unlimited $350. Corroborated; the vendor editions page lists no prices. Source: vendor pricing page, checked 2026-11-10. Vendor site: Salesforce site. Put your plan's price into the estimator below if it differs.

Example values: replace every number with your own. SaaS price prefilled from Salesforce pricing, checked 2026-11-10; the other numbers are examples.

Self-hosting saves about $4,380 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $6,000 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 6 seats at these numbers.

Functions differ: an open-source tool rarely matches every Salesforce feature. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and security. Sponsored plate: none yet. Advertise.
