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.
What actually differs
Every row links to the public source it comes from. Where a figure is an estimate, it says so.
| Dimension | Salesforce CPQ (SBQQ) | Revenue Cloud Advanced | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial status | End of sale since March 2025 — not sold to new customers. Not end of life; no end-of-life date announced. | Actively sold; Salesforce’s current CPQ + billing product. | Salesforce |
| Existing customers | Can renew, add users, and receive support for the duration of existing contracts. No forced migration. | Standard subscription terms. | Salesforce |
| Architecture | Managed package (SBQQ) installed into the org; its own CPQ objects. | Built on core Salesforce objects with a new data model (product catalog separated from pricing); API-first, composable. | Kugamon explainer · Salesforce |
| List price per user / month | ~$75 historically quoted for legacy CPQ (third-party listings; no longer sold new). | $150 Growth · $200 Advanced, on Salesforce’s published pricing page. | Salesforce pricing |
| New features | None — maintenance mode. | Ongoing releases; Salesforce’s investment focus. | Salesforce |
| Documentation | Online help articles retired in July 2026 in favor of a single PDF. | Current online documentation. | Salesforce KB 005388761 |
| Upgrade path between them | None — different data model. Moving to RCA is a reimplementation. | No first-party Salesforce migration tool; Salesforce points to partner accelerators (Forsys RevRamp, IdeaHelix, Prodly). | Salesforce |
| Typical migration time (CPQ → RCA) | — | Salesforce says a typical migration runs 3–6 months; ecosystem reports of longer, over-budget projects are common. | Salesforce |
| Share of RCA customers who came from CPQ | — | Approximately 15%, per Salesforce. | Salesforce |
| Admin skills transfer | Existing CPQ admin skills apply. | Partial — new data model and more API-oriented configuration; admins re-learn. | Kugamon explainer |
If you are on Salesforce CPQ today
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
