Question 1

Is Salesforce CPQ really end of life?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Salesforce officially retired CPQ (SBQQ) on March 27, 2025 — no new features, no new customer sales, and support windows are closing. If you’re currently on Salesforce CPQ, you have to migrate. The only question is whether you migrate to Revenue Cloud Advanced (Salesforce’s reimplemented replacement at $200/user/month and a 9–12 month rebuild) or to a native alternative like Kugamon.

Question 2

What’s the difference between Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud Advanced, and Kugamon?

Accepted Answer

Salesforce CPQ (SBQQ) is the legacy product, now retired. Revenue Cloud Advanced is its replacement — a brand-new architecture and data model, sold at $200/user/month, with no migration tooling from legacy CPQ. Kugamon is the #1 rated native CPQ on AppExchange — same Salesforce-native architecture, same data model your admins already know, but with quote, order, billing, and subscriptions in one package starting at $50/user/month.

Question 3

How is migrating to Kugamon different from migrating to Revenue Cloud Advanced?

Accepted Answer

Revenue Cloud Advanced requires a complete rebuild — new data model, new architecture, no automated migration from legacy CPQ. Real-world projects run 9–12 months and routinely 2–4× over budget, almost always with a Salesforce SI partner. Kugamon migrations average 4–8 weeks because we extend the Salesforce data model your admins already manage. Your Products, Price Books, and Accounts transfer directly. Most customers don’t need an SI partner.

Question 4

If we’re still on Salesforce CPQ, do we have to do anything urgent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Even if your CPQ runs fine today, the support window is closing and security patches are slowing. Most Salesforce account teams are now actively pushing migration conversations into 2026. Starting a Kugamon parallel-run now means you’re cut over by Q3 2026 — well ahead of the renewal-cliff scramble. Using the calculator on this page, most teams find that a Kugamon migration pays for itself before their next CPQ renewal.

Question 5

What is the best alternative to Salesforce CPQ?

Accepted Answer

Kugamon is the #1 rated native Salesforce CPQ alternative on AppExchange. It is built entirely on the Salesforce platform — no middleware, no external database — with sub-3-second quote generation on catalogs of 100,000+ products.

Question 6

Does Kugamon support subscription management and billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kugamon includes native subscription management, co-terming, renewals, amendments, revenue scheduling, invoicing, and ASC 606 revenue recognition — all built on Salesforce with no third-party integration required.

Question 7

Is Kugamon available on Salesforce AppExchange?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kugamon is available on Salesforce AppExchange and is the #1 rated CPQ solution in its category. A 30-day free trial is available directly from AppExchange.
