Updated June 18, 2025
Salesforce will increase prices by 6% for Enterprise and Unlimited Editions of Sales cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, and some Industries clouds, effective August 1. The company is also revamping its product packaging.
Standalone AI add-ons and Einstein 1 Editions are being retired. Salesforce is moving toward bundled Agentforce plans, which range from $125 to $550 per user each month. Anish Krishnan, senior analyst at QKS Group, said this shift “risks being viewed as an upsell disguised as innovation” if the return on investment isn’t clear.
Slack’s Business+ plan will increase by 20%, costing $15 per user monthly. Free-tier users will gain access to Salesforce Channels. A new Enterprise+ plan will offer enterprise search, enhanced security, and admin controls.Tableau Next will include AI-powered analytics, and a new Prompt Builder will allow for custom interactions. The company said Foundations, Starter, and Pro Editions will remain at the same price.
What’s next
Customers should evaluate the new pricing and bundled options to determine the best fit for their needs as the changes take effect.
