Salesforce has confirmed that Professional Edition has reached end of sale, which means it is no longer being sold to new customers. Existing Professional Edition customers can usually continue using their current org, but Salesforce’s newer direction is clearly moving toward modern suite-based offerings like Pro Suite. Salesforce lists
What was the Salesforce Professional Edition?
Professional Edition was a traditional Salesforce CRM edition mainly used by small and growing businesses that needed core sales CRM features such as leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, reports, and dashboards.
It worked well for teams with standard sales processes, but it was more limited when businesses needed advanced automation, deeper customisation, integrations, or broader service and marketing capabilities.
What Is Salesforce Pro Suite?
Pro Suite is Salesforce’s newer package for growing small and mid-sized businesses. It includes the capabilities of Starter Suite and adds more advanced customization, automation, forecasting, quoting, AppExchange access, sandbox support, and AI assistance powered by Agentforce. Salesforce describes Pro Suite as a CRM that can be customized with advanced automation, AI, and insights for more complex needs.
Key Differences
Should Existing Professional Edition Customers Move to Pro Suite?
Not necessarily immediately. If your current Professional Edition org is stable and meets your business needs, there may be no urgent reason to migrate.
However, you should evaluate Pro Suite if:
- Your team needs more automation.
- You want AI-assisted CRM features.
- You need sales forecasting or quoting.
- You want better service or chat capabilities.
- You need more customization.
- Your business is expanding beyond sales into marketing, service, or commerce.
Pro Suite Edition Pricing
Pro is available starting at $100 per user per month, and an annual contract is required. That includes 2,000 emails per month in Pro. Plus, you can add on more as needed with the Marketing Email Sends Bundle for an additional 1,000 email sends for $10 per month.
