Salesforce Startup Deals - Overview
Salesforce describes Launchpad as discounts and implementation support for venture-backed startups, and states no amount. Our listing fills in two numbers: 45% off Starter Suite for 1 year, and 12 months free. Because Salesforce publishes no figures, those are unconfirmed, and Salesforce decides each application at its discretion.
Reading the headline. The $675 on our 45% entry matches five Starter Suite seats for a year at list: five seats cost $1,500, 45% of that is $675, and you pay $825.
Next to other CRM programs in our catalog. HubSpot lists 90% off during 1 year and 30% off the first year. Freshsales lists $3,000 in credits and 15% off any plan. Zoho CRM lists $100 in credits.

Fits: a team of up to 10 that wants to test first. The 30-day trial of Starter Suite covers up to 10 users.
Fits: a company that expects sales quoting and forecasting soon. Pro Suite includes them, at $100 per user a month and with a contract required. Five seats come to $6,000 a year.
Skip: a bootstrapped company. Salesforce frames Launchpad around venture backing.

Skip: anyone who wants pricing certainty. Starter Suite is a starting price, and transaction fees apply.
