Salesforce will increase prices by an average of 6% across key products including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, and select Industry Clouds. The change applies to Enterprise and Unlimited plans, taking effect August 17, 2025 for renewals, and immediately for new customers. Renewals before that date can postpone the higher rates for about a year.

how does firing people and replacing them with text predictors mean they have to raise prices

It's simple, really.

You lower the quality of your products, making it cheaper to produce them, increasing profits . You then increase prices, making red line go up even more! OMG, what a novel idea!

Turns out burning thousands of kW, cooling, building datacenters, and filling them with the most expensive ~~shovels~~ chips, is actually just more costly per real unit work than paying an actual person. It was a grift the entire time!
