CRM ALTERNATIVE

Looking for a Salesforce alternative?

Limnn is one AI-native platform where sales, support, people, projects and team chat share one data graph, one login and one bill. Sales CPQ and a help desk are modules of the same app rather than separate products.

WHY TEAMS LOOK

Common reasons teams evaluate Salesforce alternatives

  • Total cost grows as editions, add-ons and separate clouds are added.
  • Getting sales, service and other teams on shared data can require integration work.
  • Smaller teams may not need enterprise-grade customisation and the admin effort that comes with it.

Salesforce remains a strong product for many teams. Salesforce is the most widely known enterprise CRM. Sales, service, marketing and other capabilities are sold as separate clouds and editions, with a very large partner and app ecosystem for customisation.

CHECKLIST

What to look for in a Salesforce alternative

  • Native quoting, forecasting and pipeline management — not just contact storage.
  • A help desk and customer success on the same records, so handoffs don't need sync jobs.
  • Clear per-seat pricing and a realistic migration path for your data.

Choose Limnn if…

Choose Salesforce if…

  • You are a large enterprise with complex, heavily customised processes and an in-house Salesforce admin team.

  • You need a vendor with a long enterprise track record and broad industry-specific clouds.

MIGRATION

Switching from Salesforce

  1. 01Export accounts, contacts, deals and activities from Salesforce as CSV (most CRMs offer a full data export for admins).
  2. 02Recreate your pipelines, stages and custom fields in Limnn Settings, then import with the CSV importer — it maps columns to fields and flags duplicates.
  3. 03Rebuild key automations in Flows and your quote templates in CPQ; invite the team and run both systems side by side for a short overlap.
  4. 04Prefer a hand-off? Limnn Experts can scope a fixed-price migration, including data mapping and validation in a staging workspace.
