Salesforce CPQ alternatives: every option after end of sale
Salesforce stopped selling CPQ to new customers in March 2025; existing customers can stay. If you move, there are five real alternatives: Revenue Cloud Advanced (Salesforce’s successor, $150–$200 per user per month), Kugamon (Salesforce-native, $65–$125, published), Conga CPQ, DealHub, and Nue (none publishes a full price list: Nue shows a starting price on AppExchange, Conga lists an offer only on AWS Marketplace, and DealHub publishes none). Only the first two keep every revenue object in your org with a current roadmap.
The short answer
- You want Salesforce’s own roadmap and have the budget for a 12–18 month rebuildChoose Revenue Cloud Advanced
- You want standard Products and Price Books, admin-owned, a published priceChoose Kugamon
- You run several CRMs, or are a SaaS or AI company with self-service channelsLook at DealHub (quotes outside the org) or Nue (billing and usage on its AWS platform)
- Nothing is broken and the renewal is fineStay — it is supported, and no end-of-life date exists
The alternatives at a glance
| Alternative | Where it runs | Published price | Typical move from CPQ | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue Cloud Advanced | In the org, on core objects with a new data model. | $150 Growth / $200 Advanced published | 12–18 months in practice | CPQ to RCA |
| Kugamon | In the org, on standard Products and Price Books. | $65 / $95 / $125 published | 4–8 weeks | Playbook |
| Conga CPQ | In the org (10 packages); optional off-platform pricing engine. | Not on conga.com; a priced offer on AWS Marketplace ($5,400/user for 36 months) | 3–6 months typical, per Conga | Compare |
| DealHub | Outside the org; syncs to Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics. | Not published contact | “A few weeks” (DealHub’s claim) | Compare |
| Nue | CPQ in org; billing/usage/self-serve on Nue AWS, synced. | From $90/user/month (AppExchange ‘starting at’; modules extra) | ~3 months on average, per Nue (up to a year) | Compare |
| Stay on Salesforce CPQ | In the org; frozen. | Not sold new | — | What end of sale means |
The decision, as a tree
What each one costs over three years
Why staying is on the list
Because Salesforce says it is legitimate. CPQ is end of sale, not end of life; existing customers can renew, add users and receive support, and there is no forced migration (Salesforce). The reasons to move are practical — no new features, online documentation retired in July 2026 (KB 005388761) — not contractual. Every renewal is a decision, and this page exists so it is an informed one.
For teams that want Salesforce’s own roadmap: Revenue Cloud Advanced ($150–$200/user/month, published; 12–18 month rebuild in practice). For teams that want standard Products and Price Books, admin ownership and a published price: Kugamon ($65–$125, AppExchange; 4–8 weeks). DealHub is an option if you accept an external system of record; Nue if you accept billing and usage running on its AWS platform.
No. Salesforce says there is no forced migration. Existing customers can renew, add users and receive support; no end-of-life date has been announced (Salesforce). See end of sale vs end of life.
No. It is a separate product with a different data model. Salesforce says CPQ objects, rules and scripts do not map directly (source). A full rebuild runs 12–18 months in practice; Salesforce’s FAQ quotes 3–6 months — treat that as a best case. Side by side: Salesforce CPQ vs Revenue Cloud Advanced.
Two publish full per-user price lists: Salesforce (Revenue Cloud, $150 Growth / $200 Advanced per user per month, pricing page) and Kugamon ($65 CPQ, $95 Quote to Cash or Subscription Management, $125 Subscription Billing, AppExchange). Nue shows a starting price on AppExchange ($90 per user per month; modules extra), Conga lists an offer only on AWS Marketplace, and DealHub publishes none.

★★★★★A new bar for RevOps
“As someone who has set up Salesforce CPQ before, I found Kugamon to be much more straightforward and easier to use. It took us just a few weeks to get going, rather than the few months or even years required by other systems.”
★★★★★Easy to understand, easy to implement
“This SFDC-native platform is lightweight but powerful, bringing the entire sales process onto one pane of glass. No more disconnected Opportunities and Quotes/Orders, no more fractured approval processes, just more control over everything. Implementation is a breeze.”
★★★★★Great Salesforce Native CPQ Tool
“Kugamon is an awesome tool that I found to be easy to understand and configure for our complex use case. Not to mention, they have a fantastic onboarding process that does a great job of covering every feature.”
