Orriq vs Salesforce

Salesforce is powerful. But its power is organised around Salesforce — not around your business.

Dimension
Salesforce
Orriq
Time to live
6-18 months + implementation partner
Weeks — we are the implementation partner
Admin dependency
Salesforce admin required forever
Self-explanatory UI, maintained by us
Customisation language
Apex, Flow, proprietary everything
TypeScript, SQL, open standards
Cost trajectory
Licences + implementation + consultants
Fixed retainer, predictable scaling
AI (Einstein)
Opaque, bolted-on, expensive per-use
Open — use Claude, GPT, Gemini, whatever serves you
Data ownership
Multi-tenant cloud, subject to their terms
Yours, in your Supabase, always
Our verdict

If you're a 5,000-seat enterprise with regulated audit trails and a dedicated CoE, Salesforce is still reasonable. For most SMB and mid-market businesses, you'll pay enterprise prices for features you'll never touch and customisations that will outlive the admin who wrote them.

Notes
01

Salesforce has a business reason for every dollar of its list price. It doesn't mean those dollars are being spent on your business.

02

Apex is a moat. Orriq is the opposite — your platform should be maintainable by any modern engineer, not a Salesforce specialist.
