Pricing
FreemiumEvery Salesforce customer can start with Agentforce for free via Salesforce Foundations, which includes Agentforce Builder, Prompt Builder, Agent Script, Agentforce Coworker, and Agentforce Vibes. Beyond that, Salesforce offers consumption-based and per-user pricing paths. Flex Credits cost $500 per 100,000 credits, with each standard Agentforce action consuming 20 credits (roughly $0.10 per action) and each Voice action consuming 30 credits; Flex Credits are fungible across actions, prompts, translations, and voice. Conversations pricing is a flat $2 per conversation for customer-facing agents. An Agentforce User License costs $5 per user per month (requires Flex Credits) for company-wide employee access. Agentforce add-ons for unmetered employee usage cost $125 per user per month (Sales/Service/Field Service) or $150 per user per month (Industries Clouds), while Agentforce 1 Editions start from $550 per user per month and bundle 2.5 million Flex Credits per org per year. Buying models include Pre-Purchase (pay upfront for the best rate), Pre-Commit (baseline commitment billed monthly in arrears), and PayGo (no upfront commitment, pay as you go), all trackable through the Digital Wallet usage dashboard. Unused Flex Credits do not roll over between subscription terms.
FreemiumFree plan (Chatfuel Light): Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp automations, shared inbox, flow builder, ready-made templates, and contact management — no credit card required. AI PRO: $49/month (billed monthly) or ~$35/month (billed annually, saving 29%) — includes all Light features plus AI sales manager, AI knowledge base, AI-powered automations, broadcasts, re-engagement campaigns, lead qualification funnels, and advanced contact tools. Usage limits apply per plan. Enterprise/custom solutions available on request.
