Salesforce Editions
Overview
Salesforce Editions are the varying “tiers” of service you can purchase within a product of Salesforce. Across Sales, Service, Marketing etc., they impact pricing and the utilities available to the user base of the org. These variances can be as simple as custom field allocation or as complex as API integration capabilities.
Different Salesforce Editions
Across most of Salesforce’s product offerings you will commonly hear of: Starter, Pro Suite, Enterprise, Unlimited and Developer Edition orgs. With the introduction of Einstein, there is a new offering above Unlimited, called Einstein1 (insert Product name) as well that includes all the features of AI.
