Limnn vs Salesforce
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. 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.
From $10.67 per seat / month (Core, monthly billing). See pricing

Which one should you choose?
Choose Limnn if…
- You want CRM, help desk, HR and team chat in one product instead of separate clouds and integrations.
- You'd rather configure than custom-develop, and want AI that can act across modules on the same data.
- You want predictable per-seat pricing with a full-suite option and a 30-day free trial.
Choose Salesforce if…
- You are a large enterprise with complex, heavily customised processes and an in-house Salesforce admin team.
- You depend on specific AppExchange apps or a Salesforce consulting partner.
- You need a vendor with a long enterprise track record and broad industry-specific clouds.
Moving from Salesforce to Limnn
- 01Export accounts, contacts, deals and activities from Salesforce as CSV (most CRMs offer a full data export for admins).
- 02Recreate your pipelines, stages and custom fields in Limnn Settings, then import with the CSV importer — it maps columns to fields and flags duplicates.
- 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.
- 04Prefer a hand-off? Limnn Experts can scope a fixed-price migration, including data mapping and validation in a staging workspace.

Limnn vs Salesforce: common questions
Is Limnn a full replacement for Salesforce?
For many small and mid-sized teams, yes: Limnn covers pipeline, CPQ, forecasting, sequences, a help desk and reporting. Organisations that rely on heavy custom development or specific AppExchange apps should check those requirements first.
Can I import my Salesforce data into Limnn?
Yes. Export your objects as CSV and import them with the Limnn CSV importer, or have Limnn Experts run a fixed-price migration.
Does Limnn include a help desk like Service Cloud?
Yes. Limnn Support is part of the same platform — tickets, SLAs, macros, CSAT, knowledge base and live chat — on the same customer records as sales.
