Agentforce is Salesforce's platform for AI agents. For service teams already on Salesforce, its main advantage is that agents act directly on the CRM records the team uses⁠1Agentforce pricingSalesforce.

Best for: Companies on Salesforce Service Cloud that want customer-facing agents acting on CRM records, priced per conversation or per action.

Not the right fit for: Companies not on Salesforce.

What Agentforce does

Salesforce sells Agentforce in several ways: consumption through Flex Credits or conversations, and per-user licenses for employee-facing agents. Each action an agent takes, such as updating a record, summarizing a complex case, answering a product question or running a custom prompt or flow, draws from a pool of Flex Credits that can be shared across teams, channels and use cases. Customer-facing agents can instead be bought per conversation⁠1Agentforce pricingSalesforce.

Questions to ask Salesforce

• Is per-conversation or per-action pricing cheaper for our mix of requests?
• Which editions and licenses do we need in addition to the consumption price?
• How do agents hand cases to Service Cloud agents, and with what context?
• What testing is available before agents face customers?
