The short version
Salesforce can be shaped to any organization. ainocrm is ready when you sign up.
Salesforce can be shaped to fit almost any organization: custom apps, approval processes, territories, quoting, and service, marketing and commerce products on the same platform. ainocrm takes the opposite approach: it comes ready for a B2B sales team, so nobody has to design or maintain it.
ainocrm is set up in a conversation: describe how you sell, drop in an export, and the team can start. Salesforce describes implementation as a project of a few weeks for a small business and several months for a larger one, usually with an admin and often a partner.
Day to day, Salesforce is built on records and forms. Agents that update opportunities from conversations are bought on top of the Core and Advanced editions. In ainocrm that is how the product works for everyone, at €49 per seat.
Choose ainocrm when
- You want the team working this week, without an implementation project
- Nobody on the team is a CRM admin, and nobody wants to become one
- Salespeople would rather say what happened than fill in records
- You want stage requirements and forecast checks ready to use, without building rules and flows
- Leaders want to see how reliable the forecast is
- You want AI included in the €49 per seat, without an add-on
Salesforce fits better when
- You need a CRM shaped to a complex organization: custom apps, approvals, territories
- Quoting, partner management or compensation planning belong in the same system
- Service, marketing or commerce have to run on the same platform
- You have an admin or an implementation partner to build and run it

Check, then import
Map the old stages to yours, invite the owners it does not know or take their deals yourself, and confirm. Deals keep their create and close dates.
There is no live sync with Salesforce. The import can be repeated later; it only fills in blanks. How importing works
