Salesforce is the enterprise CRM platform, licensed per user by edition and built to be customised. Ovvos is fourteen back-office tools for companies that sell things with a price list — distributors, resellers, integrators and traders — on one login, priced per organisation.

Where Salesforce is the better choice
Scale and customisation. Large sales organisations with administrators, developers and complex processes are who Salesforce is built for.
The honest list
You need deep customisation.
Salesforce can be shaped by administrators and developers to almost any process. Ovvos tools are generated as they are.
You depend on AppExchange or an API.
Salesforce has a vast ecosystem of apps and integrations. Ovvos has no public API and no third-party integrations.
You want AI forecasting and agents.
Salesforce sells AI across its editions. Ovvos Pipeline deliberately has no AI scoring or forecasting.
You run a large, multi-team sales organisation.
Territories, approval chains and enterprise reporting are Salesforce territory. Ovvos has no discounts, quote approvals or e-signature.
Your reps work from phones.
Salesforce has mobile apps. Ovvos is desktop-first.
Choose Ovvos if
Where Ovvos fits better
A company that wants one system everyone learns once, and a price that is not counted per seat.
Priced per organisation, not per user per edition.
Salesforce licenses each user per month, at a price set by edition. Ovvos charges one price per organisation, with no per-user fees, and includes the other tools on the same login.
One design, one login, one inbox.
Every Ovvos tool shares the same interface, light and dark mode, two densities and a platform-wide inbox. A person learns one system, not a set of apps.
A separate copy for each department.
A tool is generated per department: two departments can each run their own CRM and never see each other's data.
Your data stays your company's.
Every screen, report and export is limited to your own company, enforced on every request.
Built inside a working company — and honest about gaps.
Each tool replaced something a real business had stopped paying for, and each one says plainly what it leaves out. See every gap on the comparison page.

Questions
What buyers ask about Salesforce and Ovvos
Short answers. Anything else, ask in the demo — including whether Ovvos is the wrong fit.
Answers
Is Ovvos an enterprise CRM?
No. Pipeline is a CRM for companies that sell from a price list: distributors, resellers, integrators and traders. It is not built for enterprise territory management or heavy customisation.
Is Ovvos cheaper than Salesforce?
Salesforce is priced per user per month by edition; Ovvos is one price per organisation and includes thirteen other tools. For most small and mid-sized teams the comparison favours Ovvos. Pricing is given in the demo.
Can I keep Salesforce and add Ovvos tools?
Not connected. Ovvos has no third-party integrations, so its tools would run separately from Salesforce.
