Comparison · Salesforce vs The Agency CRM
As powerful as Salesforce. Without the complexity.
Salesforce is built for enterprises with a dedicated admin team and a sizeable budget. The Agency CRM gives agencies and growing teams the same grip on leads, sales and projects — from day one, without a months-long implementation.

Why teams switch
Salesforce is great — for the wrong audience
Salesforce rightfully dominates enterprise. But as an agency or growing team, you end up paying for features you never use and admin hours you don't have.
Too complex, too costly to maintain
A typical Salesforce implementation costs €15,000–€50,000 and requires a part-time admin. The Agency CRM gets your team live in an afternoon — no consultant required.
You still need separate tools
Salesforce covers CRM well, but invoicing, projects and marketing remain separate tools. With The Agency CRM it's all built in — one data model, no integrations to break.
Total cost spirals quickly
The licence is already steep, but AI, marketing automation and extra storage are each separate add-ons. A five-person agency can easily spend €500+/mo — for half the functionality.

From Salesforce to The Agency CRM
"We were paying €600 a month for Salesforce including add-ons, and still had to call an external consultant for every tweak. After migrating we run on €49 a month and change everything ourselves."
"The Salesforce implementation took four months. The Agency CRM was live after one day — including all our data. The team migrated everything without us lifting a finger."
