Salesforce CPQ vs Revenue Cloud Advanced: Side-by-Side Comparison

Salesforce CPQ (SBQQ) is a managed-package quoting product that Salesforce stopped selling to new customers in March 2025; existing customers can still renew and get support. Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA) is its successor, built on core Salesforce objects with a new data model and priced at $150 (Growth) or $200 (Advanced) per user per month. Moving from one to the other is a migration, not an upgrade — Salesforce itself estimates 3–6 months.

Three paths from here

If you are on Salesforce CPQ today

Stay on CPQ. Legitimate for now: you can renew and get support, and Salesforce says there is no forced migration. The cost is a frozen product and, since July 2026, no online documentation. Every renewal is a decision made with a little less leverage than the last.
Move to Revenue Cloud Advanced. Salesforce’s intended path. Budget for a reimplementation on a new data model, $150–$200 per user per month, and the 3–6 months Salesforce estimates — usually with a partner. What RCA actually is →
Move to a Salesforce-native alternative. Kugamon keeps your standard Products and Price Books, is $65 per user per month on the AppExchange listing, and typically migrates in 4–8 weeks.

No. It is a separate product with a different data model. Salesforce provides no first-party migration tool; moving from CPQ to Revenue Cloud Advanced is a reimplementation that Salesforce estimates at 3–6 months, usually with a partner. Salesforce points customers to partner accelerators from Forsys (RevRamp), IdeaHelix, and Prodly. Source: Salesforce

No. Salesforce says there is no forced migration. CPQ is end of sale, not end of life: existing customers can renew, add users, and receive support for the duration of their contracts, and no end-of-life date has been announced. The practical pressure is that CPQ gets no new features and, since July 2026, has no online documentation. Source: Salesforce · KB 005388761

Revenue Cloud Advanced is $150 per user per month (Growth) or $200 (Advanced) on Salesforce’s pricing page. Legacy Salesforce CPQ was historically quoted at about $75 per user per month by third-party listings; it is no longer sold to new customers. For comparison, Kugamon’s Salesforce-native CPQ is $65 per user per month on its AppExchange listing.

Salesforce’s own end-of-sale page says a typical migration runs 3–6 months. Ecosystem reports of longer, over-budget projects are common. A migration to a Salesforce-native alternative such as Kugamon typically runs 4–8 weeks because it reuses standard Salesforce Products and Price Books. Source: Salesforce · Migration playbook
