Buyers look past Salesforce Revenue Cloud when a per-user add-on on top of a CRM license no longer fits, or when the move from Salesforce CPQ forces a rebuild anyway. They usually land on Elfsquad, Experlogix or encoway CPQ. Most of the field is quote-only, so a price comparison has to start with a sales call.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. The first three alternatives
go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the
established names follow in their ranked order. How it works:

What each alternative does differently
1. Elfsquad
Dutch CPQ with a fixed-fee licence and unlimited users · Netherlands
The pricing page states there is no per-seat pricing: one fixed licence fee with maintenance included and unlimited users. That removes the per-user arithmetic Revenue Cloud creates. We did not verify how deeply it connects to Salesforce, so confirm that integration in a demo.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if per-user pricing makes every quoting seat expensive and you want a fixed annual cost.
Pricing: One fixed licence fee covering implementation and use, quoted per organisation; unlimited users included, add-ons priced separately. (none)

2. Experlogix CPQ
No-code configurator bolted onto Dynamics, Salesforce or SAP · United States
Describes itself as next generation CPQ for quoting offerings that mix products and services. Its homepage does not state a hosting model or a price, so both need a direct answer from the vendor. We could only read the homepage through a fetch tool, not a browser.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you quote bundles of products and services and want a CPQ vendor that is not Salesforce.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, per seat bands; no published list price. (none)

3. encoway CPQ
Variant rules that serve the quote and the web configurator · Germany
The encoway homepage lists a CPQ offering delivered as software as a service. We did not open the product page, so scope, configurator depth and licensing are unverified here. The vendor is a company site first and a quoting specialist second, which is worth testing in a pilot.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you want a configurator-led CPQ from a specialist vendor instead of a CRM add-on.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, modular licences; no published list price. (none)

4. DealHub
Quote workflow a revenue operations team can own alone · United States
Positions itself as an agentic quote-to-revenue platform. Its pricing page shows no list price, so cost is learned only through sales. We read nothing about its Salesforce integration or how it replaces the Advanced edition's contract and invoicing rows.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you want a quote-to-revenue platform and can accept a sales-led price.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, annual subscription; no published list price. (none)

5. Tacton CPQ
Constraint solver that keeps unbuildable machines out of quotes · Sweden
Describes a buyer engagement platform that helps manufacturers bring complex products to market. The site targets makers of configurable equipment, so a software or services quoting team is the wrong audience. It publishes no price on the page we read.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you sell complex manufactured products rather than software subscriptions.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, annual subscription; no published list price. (none)

6. camos CPQ 365
Rules engine for machine and plant builders in DACH · Germany
A German-language homepage presents CPQ software for technically complex products. Language of the site and sales process matter for non-German buyers, and we did not verify English documentation or support. We read no price or hosting detail on the page opened.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you quote technically complex products and work comfortably in German.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, named-user licences; camos CPQ Compact offered as a lighter mid-market entry point. (none)

7. Configit Quote
One configuration model shared by engineering, sales and production · Denmark
Positioned as CPQ for the world's most complex products, built by a configuration vendor. Hosting and pricing are not stated on the homepage. Expect a longer modeling project than a CRM add-on, and ask who maintains the product model after go-live.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if your products are complex enough that a configuration model matters more than CRM fit.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, enterprise agreements; no published list price. (none)

8. QuoteWerks
Quoting software with a published per-concurrent-user price · United States
Its pricing page lists a ladder from Essential at $49 per concurrent user per month on monthly billing, up to Pinnacle at $99. That vendor page differs slightly from our card. We did not verify hosting, so check it before comparing against a cloud add-on.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if a handful of people create quotes and per-concurrent-user pricing is cheaper than named seats.
Pricing: Published: Essential $50, Balanced $78 and Pinnacle $102 per concurrent user per month, or $45.83, $71.50 and $93.50 billed annually; unlimited named users. (free trial)

9. Apparound
Sales-enablement CPQ recognised in the Gartner Magic Quadrant · Italy
Describes an all-in-one sales solution that combines content, quoting, and performance and incentive management. The scope reaches past quoting into sales enablement. We opened only the homepage, so contract, order and invoicing coverage compared with Revenue Cloud is unverified.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you want quoting bundled with sales content and incentive management.
Pricing: Three plans (Essential, Enterprise and Headless CPQ), all quoted by sales; no published list price. (none)

10. Sofon CPQ
Guided selling and quotation for mid-market manufacturers · Netherlands
Presents quote-to-cash and CPQ for companies with customer-specific products and services, and lists a cloud-based product. Pricing is not stated on the page we read. The wording points to custom-made offers, which suits project-style selling better than standard catalog items.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if your offers are customer-specific and quote-to-cash matters as much as the quote.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, licence plus implementation; no published list price. (none)

11. Conga CPQ
Quotes, documents and contracts from one vendor's stack · United States
Conga markets a suite that aligns pricing, CPQ, contract lifecycle management and document automation, and says it works across any CRM, any ERP and any cloud. That is the closest match to Revenue Cloud's quote-to-contract scope, without tying you to Salesforce.
Switch from Salesforce Revenue Cloud if you want quoting, contracts and documents from one vendor that is not tied to one CRM.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation, per seat; no published list price. (none)

Questions and answers
Can I export my quotes and product catalog from Salesforce Revenue Cloud?
We could not verify export formats from Salesforce's public pages. The vendor says logic lives in APIs, and its migration page cites 150+ APIs and invocable actions, so API extraction is the likely route. Ask Salesforce for a sample export in writing.
How much notice do I need to leave Revenue Cloud?
Salesforce does not state notice periods on the pages we opened. Its pricing page says the Advanced edition requires an annual contract. Read the Main Services Agreement and your Order Form for renewal and cancellation terms, because those are not on the public pricing page.
Is there a free trial of Revenue Cloud to compare against?
No, the Salesforce FAQ says it does not currently offer a free trial of Revenue Cloud. The only trial linked from the pricing page is for Sales Cloud, which runs 30 days. Expect to compare alternatives through vendor demos and pilots instead.
Do I still need Sales Cloud if I leave Revenue Cloud?
That depends on the new product, not on Revenue Cloud. Salesforce requires a Sales Cloud, Service Cloud or CRM license only for its own add-on. A CPQ that connects to Salesforce works against the CRM you keep, so cancelling Revenue Cloud does not by itself end that license.
Is Salesforce CPQ being shut down?
No, Salesforce describes Salesforce CPQ as end of sale, not end of life. Salesforce says investment has shifted to Revenue Cloud Advanced and that no migration is forced. It also says about 15% of Revenue Cloud Advanced customers have moved from Salesforce CPQ.
What breaks when I move to another CPQ?
Pricing rules, product configuration logic and approval chains do not transfer as files. Salesforce's migration paths show the work involved even inside its own line: catalog, pricing and transactional data may all be redesigned. Plan to rebuild rules and test them against old quotes.
