Salesforce Service Cloud
From $25/user/mo
The enterprise service desk on Salesforce — now with Agentforce Service on top.
Who should pick which
Attio is for product-led and sales-led startups that treat the data model as the product and teams replacing HubSpot’s object limits without buying a marketing cloud. Salesforce Service Cloud is for enterprises already on Salesforce and complex case models and SLAs.
When not to switch
Skip Attio if you are call-center outbound floors that need a native dialer. Skip Salesforce Service Cloud if you are a five-person inbox. A vs page is not a reason to migrate a CRM that already works.
