Salesforce will increase prices by an average of 6% across key products including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, and select Industry Clouds. The change applies to Enterprise and Unlimited plans, taking effect August 17, 2025 for renewals, and immediately for new customers. Renewals before that date can postpone the higher rates for about a year.

What a time to be a snake oil sales person.

It's gonna be funny when stuff like mid-level tech companies are fully integrated into Github Copilot and then whoopsie doopsie time for a 50% price hike.

it's great. eventually small businesses will need to rely on FOSS solutions because the costs are counter prohibitive on a sliding scale that's heavy towards VC funded companies.
honestly if I was a VC right now, I'd be cozying up to the major PAAS/SAAS vendors and investing with them to drive small businesses to make the choice to get VC or go out of business because it's too costly to compete and operate.
Thankfully I'm not a soulless husk.

I appreciate you having a soul.

Imagine making the product worse and trying to charge more for it.

LOL, what a delightful malapropism!

You can opt out of paying for them. If I ran a business, I'd probably try self hosting before I used slack, but it would probably become very difficult at scale

how does firing people and replacing them with text predictors mean they have to raise prices

You can self host the services you need, but admittedly that's not feasible for most people.

Turns out burning thousands of kW, cooling, building datacenters, and filling them with the most expensive
shovelschips, is actually just more costly per real unit work than paying an actual person. It was a grift the entire time! -

It's simple, really.
You lower the quality of your products, making it cheaper to produce them, increasing profits . You then increase prices, making red line go up even more! OMG, what a novel idea!

I know there decent alternatives to SalesForce, but I’m not sure what you’d replace Slack with. Teams is far worse in every conceivable way and I’m not sure if there’s anything else out there that isn’t already speeding down the enshittification highway.
