Salesforce Sales Cloud Forecasting review and pricing

Bundled forecasting included in Salesforce Sales Cloud subscription.

By Salesforce, Inc. · Founded 1999 · San Francisco, CA · public

Salesforce Sales Cloud Forecasting is the native forecasting module of Salesforce Sales Cloud, included in Sales Cloud Professional and above (no separate subscription required for most customers). The product covers rep commit + best-case rollups + opportunity forecasting + custom forecast categories + collaborative forecast workflows. Strengths: included in existing Salesforce Sales Cloud subscription (no additional cost for most buyers), deepest Salesforce-native integration (it is Salesforce), broad installed base by default (any Salesforce Sales Cloud customer has access), mature collaborative forecast workflows. Best fit for Salesforce-anchored teams that do not need AI forecast prediction beyond rep rollups. Trade-offs: limited AI forecast prediction compared to Clari/Aviso/BoostUp, no conversation intelligence integration, deal inspection thinner, and Salesforce Einstein for Sales is a separate paid add-on for advanced AI.
