CPQ has a reputation for high license fees and even higher implementation fees. Cadence is priced at $40/user/month and built so the configuration is done by your admins with the skills they already have.
Bundles and attributes, the pricing engine, ramps and the ramp schedule builder, the quote grid and configurator, contracts and orders, assets, amendments and renewals, service periods, the approvals extension, quote-to-opportunity field sync, the regression suite, the REST API, every Flow action, and the MCP tool catalog for AI agents. There is no advanced tier to unlock other features.
Learn from our prior builds with a library of unmanaged extensions you can customize for your org. Some examples include:
-ARR and segment totals matrix for ramping quotes
-Automation to shift start dates
-Guided Selling and Recommended Add Products
Install and setup guide, API reference, performance and limits with published benchmarks, security design documentation, the AI agent and MCP setup recipes, and a demo walkthrough.
The configuration is records, flows, and field sets. If your team or your existing partner wants to run it, they can.
Simple per user license pricing for Cadence CPQ. No separate calculation-service fee, no billing SKU, and no per-API-call charge.
Quoted after we get to understand your business through the migration assessment.
No. Cadence is independent of Salesforce CPQ and doesn't require it to be installed. If it is installed, both can coexist during a migration.
Salesforce Sales Cloud with any edition except Salesforce Essentials.
Yes, most customers do. Cadence quotes on standard objects, so any tool that reads Opportunity or Quote works.
No. Cadence makes no external callouts and has no off-platform components. AI agents connect in through Salesforce's own hosted MCP and Agentforce as the signed-in user; nothing in the package calls out.
Weeks of configuration rather than quarters of consulting for a straightforward subscription catalog. Migrations from a heavily customized Salesforce CPQ org depend entirely on what the assessment finds.
Your quotes are on standard objects and your pricing configuration is exportable records.
