Salesforce Sales Cloud alternatives
4 tools in Sales & CRM comparable to Salesforce Sales Cloud, ranked by VERILO editor rating and editorial score. Rankings are independent of affiliate relationships.
Salesforce Sales Cloud is left over cost and complexity rather than capability. It can be customised almost without limit, but most companies need an administrator or a partner to configure it, the interface is dense, and the price steps steeply: Starter Suite is $25 per user a month, and Pro Suite, Core, Advanced and Max run from $100 to $550 per user a month, billed annually.
For a small team that wants to be working this week, HubSpot is the easiest move, with free CRM tools and one contact record shared by sales, marketing and support. Pipedrive is built around a visual sales pipeline and starts at $24 per seat a month.
If you want deep customisation without Salesforce's administration, Zoho CRM offers custom modules, layouts and blueprints at lower per-user prices. And for founders and agencies managing relationships rather than a formal sales process, folk can be running in an afternoon.
