Salesforce
From $25/user/mo
The default enterprise CRM — and the one most teams are trying to leave.
Who should pick which
Twenty is for open-source buyers and teams that want to self-host. Salesforce is for global enterprises that need a customizable object model and an ISV marketplace and revops teams whose buying process requires AppExchange and a known hiring market.
When not to switch
Skip Twenty if you are companies that need SOC 2 on day one. Skip Salesforce if you are teams that need to be live this month. A vs page is not a reason to migrate a CRM that already works.
