Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Implementation Consultant Required

high implementation

Basic contact and company workflow automation requires hiring an implementation consultant. The platform is not self-service for setup and configuration, necessitating external expertise to get started.

trustpilot

You need an implementation consultant to get the basic contact/company workflows automated

2

User Scaling Cost Increases

medium overage

Costs increase significantly as you add more users to the platform. The per-user pricing model means expenses grow linearly with team size, and enterprise licensing is required to avoid this.

trustpilot

as you scale users the costs baloon

3

Poor Support Quality

medium support

Customer service and technical support are frequently criticized. Offshore support teams have minimal product knowledge and troubleshooting skills, often providing automated responses. This can lead to extended resolution times and potential productivity losses.

trustpilot

Support in the US and EMEA is great, but their offshore teams are a different story. Their product knowledge is lacking, troubleshooting skills are minimal, and responses often feel automated.

trustpilot

Support is abysmal.

Custom Development & Implementation Costs

critical implementation

Users report significant custom development costs that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. One user reported spending over $10,000 on custom portal development only to abandon the project when it didn't meet their needs.

trustpilot

Their sales associate convinced me to upgrade to an enterprise account and to build out a custom portal (User Experience) for my sales reps. After more than $10k of development, it became apparent that the portal would not meet our needs, and it was abandoned.

5

Upsell to Additional Licenses & Features

critical addon

Salesforce sales teams reportedly promise features as included, then require additional license purchases to access them. Users report being locked into software that doesn't deliver promised functionality without expensive add-ons.

trustpilot

They scammed us out of over $300,000+ , promised features that were included only to be told we needed to pay for extra licenses.

Annual Price Increases of 10%+

high overage

Users consistently report that Salesforce raises prices by at least 10% annually, while simultaneously restricting the ability to downgrade to lower-tier plans.

Don't sell your soul in order to use this software. It works, but you'll never be able to get out of it and they'll raise the prices by at least 10% every year while not letting you downgrade your...

Inability to Downgrade Plans

high support

Multiple users report that once upgraded to a higher tier, Salesforce refuses to allow downgrades to more affordable plans even when needs change, forcing continued payment at higher tier rates.

trustpilot

Salesforce would not allow us to revert to a more affordable plan that would meet our needs.

Auto-Renewal Billing Issues

high support

Users report unauthorized charges from auto-renewals even after requesting cancellation and receiving confirmation that renewals would be stopped. Getting refunds is reported to be extremely difficult despite Salesforce acknowledging their mistakes.

trustpilot

I received a notification that my subscription for Tableau was going to auto renew. I immediately contacted the sales representative and informed him to stop this which he duly copied me into the internal mail he sent to the renewals team. They never actioned it. I then received an order for $3600 for the renewal which I immediately sent back to Salesforce informing them that they should have cancelled the auto renew.

trustpilot

Salesforce charged me for 2 months of service when it was canceled. I have spoken to them 3 times to be told someone from their team would be calling me to resolve. NOBODY from salesforce contacts you...

Feature Deprecation & Forced Migrations

medium migration

Salesforce forces customers onto new platforms (e.g., Lightning) without adequate notice, requiring retraining and productivity losses. Classic features users rely on are being removed, forcing expensive workflow overhauls.

trustpilot

After March 31, 2027, reports and dashboards are available only in Lightning Experience. To keep using them, switch to Lightning Experience

trustpilot

Lightning has significantly slowed down my turnaround time with clients. What used to be a fast, efficient process in Salesforce Classic now takes much longer.

10

Data Deletion Risk on Account Issues

critical support

Multiple users report that Salesforce permanently deleted years of business data when accounts fell behind on payments, even when customers were actively working to resolve the situation through payment arrangements.

trustpilot

Now I'm trying to migrate to Hubspot and just learned that Salesforce has deleted all of our data! I would have gladly paid $50k to have avoided Salesforce in the first place.

trustpilot

I just ffound out after paying off my balance that my account was deleted and all my years of hard work and client records were deleted in the process.

11

Increasing Charges for Previously Free Features

medium addon

Long-term customers report that Salesforce progressively charges for automation runs, customer support, and features that were previously included at no additional cost.

trustpilot

Each year they are taking things away from us (despite being long time clients) and trying to charge us for things that were once free like automation runs, customer support, anything they *feel* like.
