Geniziz vs Salesforce: the Salesforce alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good Salesforce alternative? Yes — and the arithmetic is the short version. Ten people on Salesforce's Pro Suite runs about $1,000 a month; the same ten on Geniziz is €149, because Geniziz never charges for a seat. You pay for the contacts you hold, every feature is on every plan, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost.

What Salesforce costs, and what the same team costs here
Salesforce bills like this: Per-seat by edition, sold as separate 'Clouds' (Sales, Service, Marketing priced independently); annual contracts standard.
The tiering is the part that bites: Workflow automation, custom reporting/forecasting, custom fields and AppExchange access require Pro Suite or above; Starter Suite lacks these. Full, high-volume REST/SOAP API access requires Core (formerly Enterprise) or above -- Starter Suite gets roughly 15,000 API calls/month and Pro Suite a higher but still capped allotment, versus 1M+/day on Core and up.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look. That is about 5.8× the Geniziz price.
Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move. That is about 14.5× the Geniziz price.
The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price. That is about 14.4× the Geniziz price.
Pro Suite at $100/user/month annual -- the cheapest tier with workflow automation, custom reporting and AppExchange integrations. Teams needing unrestricted API access will actually land on Core at $195/user/month instead. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount. Figures checked 2026-09-13.

What Salesforce is
The market-leading enterprise CRM platform for sales teams, sold as per-seat editions (Sales Cloud) alongside separate Service, Marketing and other Clouds.
When you should stay on Salesforce
Teams already running multiple Salesforce Clouds and relying on the AppExchange ecosystem get real value from having one platform of record despite the layered cost.
We would rather you stayed on a tool that fits than switched and regretted it. The case for moving is below.
Why teams move to Geniziz
- Unlimited users — invite sales, success, ops and leadership at no extra cost.
- Every feature on every plan — no tier gates automation, reporting or AI.
- Bring your own keys — AI, calling, email and enrichment run on your provider accounts at cost, never resold.
- Unlimited workspaces on one bill, priced only by total contacts.
- Own your data — a full export anytime, an open API, and no paywall on getting it out.
Migrating from Salesforce to Geniziz
Object model: Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Tasks/Events. Export via Data Loader or Data Export Service (CSV). Custom Flows, Apex triggers and page layouts do not transfer to another CRM and must be rebuilt manually.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
How to migrate from Salesforce to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from Salesforce (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
