Salesforce will increase prices by an average of 6% across key products including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, and select Industry Clouds. The change applies to Enterprise and Unlimited plans, taking effect August 17, 2025 for renewals, and immediately for new customers. Renewals before that date can postpone the higher rates for about a year.

Imagine making the product worse and trying to charge more for it.

What a time to be a snake oil sales person.

Everyone is doing this shit and you can't opt out.

it's great. eventually small businesses will need to rely on FOSS solutions because the costs are counter prohibitive on a sliding scale that's heavy towards VC funded companies.

honestly if I was a VC right now, I'd be cozying up to the major PAAS/SAAS vendors and investing with them to drive small businesses to make the choice to get VC or go out of business because it's too costly to compete and operate.

Thankfully I'm not a soulless husk.

LOL, what a delightful malapropism!

It's gonna be funny when stuff like mid-level tech companies are fully integrated into Github Copilot and then whoopsie doopsie time for a 50% price hike.
