Looking for a Salesforce alternative?
Salesforce is the most powerful CRM on the market, and for many small teams the most complex and expensive. Setting it up often takes an admin or a consultant. Kantos gives you your own objects and fields and automations that you set up yourself, with AI agents and the tools for talking to customers built in, at a flat monthly price.

Questions
Kantos vs Salesforce: questions.
Is Kantos a good Salesforce alternative?
Kantos suits small and growing teams that want their own objects, automation and AI agents without the cost, complexity or setup project. Salesforce remains the better choice for large companies that need its ecosystem and can staff a dedicated admin team.
Is Kantos cheaper than Salesforce?
For most small teams, yes. Kantos has flat plans: Starter is €19 a month for up to 3 users and Professional €49 for up to 10, with no charge per contact. Every account starts with a 14-day trial of Professional. There are no setup fees. Salesforce prices each user by edition, plus add-ons, and larger setups often add consulting costs.
Does Kantos have an API and automation like Salesforce?
Yes. Every plan has automations that update records, send emails and pass data to your other tools. Professional and Enterprise add an API and an MCP server for AI agents, with no enterprise edition needed.
Can I move my data from Salesforce to Kantos?
Yes. Export your Salesforce data as CSV files, then import the CSV or Excel files into Kantos, matching each column to a field. Set up your own objects and fields first so everything has a place, and find and merge any duplicates afterwards. The founding team can help: use the live chat or email support@kantos.ai.
