How does Strkr compare to Salesforce for a 50-rep mid-market team specifically?
Four structural differences at the mid-market scale. First, pricing is flat per seat with features the same across tiers, where Salesforce Sales Cloud Enterprise at 165 per seat plus the common add-ons (CRM Analytics, Agentforce, Outreach, Highspot, LeanData, ZoomInfo) stacks to 350 to 500 per seat all-in. Second, Strkr AI runs on the three-tier model router (WASM, Haiku, Sonnet/Opus) on the flat tier with no per-conversation credit meter below the plan cap, where Agentforce prices per Flex credit at roughly 10 cents per conversation unit. Third, Strkr's admin surface targets a RevOps generalist, where Salesforce admin at the 50-rep scale typically needs a certified admin hire. Fourth, Strkr ships cadences, enablement, routing, enrichment, and signature workflow as native capabilities, where Salesforce commonly runs 4 to 6 AppExchange managed packages for the same scope. The buyer with deep Salesforce AppExchange dependency or Industries Cloud configuration should stay on Salesforce; the mid-market buyer with standard CRM scope usually finds Strkr the better fit.
How long does a Salesforce-to-Strkr migration take, and what are the biggest risks?
Typical timeline is 10 to 14 weeks for a 30 to 150 seat team. Weeks 1 to 2 are the data audit (what is in Salesforce, how much is active, custom-object inventory). Weeks 2 to 4 are the design phase (Salesforce objects to Strkr objects, Apex to Flow mapping). Weeks 3 to 6 are the data move (export via Bulk API, cleanse, import). Weeks 4 to 8 are the automation rebuild (Workflows, Process Builders, Flows, Apex to Strkr Flows). Weeks 5 to 9 are the integrations rebuild (AppExchange packages to Strkr natives). Weeks 9 to 12 are the pilot and cutover. The biggest risks: heavy Apex customization (slows the automation rebuild phase), 15-plus AppExchange managed packages with no modern equivalent (requires case-by-case evaluation and sometimes staying on Salesforce), Industries Cloud configuration (vertical cloud editions require careful mapping), and change management (reps resistant to leaving a tool they know well). The Strkr implementation team walks each risk during the design phase so the timeline reflects the actual complexity.
Can Strkr handle the custom-object depth and permission complexity of a mature Salesforce install?
For most mid-market Salesforce installs (20 to 300 seats) with 5 to 15 custom objects, 20 to 50 permission sets, and heavy declarative automation (Flow and Process Builder) with some Apex, yes. Strkr's custom object builder covers many-to-many relationships, calculated fields, validation rules, formula fields, and record types. The claims-based permission model handles the common patterns (role-based access, team-based deal visibility, segment-based account access, criteria-based sharing) with less complexity than Salesforce's profiles plus permission sets plus sharing rules stack. For large Salesforce installs past 500 seats with 20-plus custom objects per business unit, Industries Cloud configuration, and heavy Apex customization, the migration complexity rises and the business case for staying on Salesforce typically wins. The decision point is the complexity depth of the current install relative to the mid-market norm.
What happens to our AppExchange managed packages during migration?
The common AppExchange managed packages map to Strkr native capabilities: Outreach and Salesloft cadences become Strkr native cadences, DocuSign and PandaDoc stay as native Strkr integrations, ZoomInfo and Apollo and Clearbit stay as native enrichment connectors, Gong and Chorus and Clari Copilot stay as native call-analysis integrations, LeanData routing becomes Strkr native routing with SLA, Highspot and Seismic content library becomes Strkr's native content library on the deal view, Marketo and Pardot and HubSpot for marketing stay as native connectors. The specialty managed packages that have no Strkr-native equivalent (industry-specific ISV packages, specialty vertical applications, legacy packages) require case-by-case evaluation. Options: rebuild on Strkr via HTTP action nodes and custom Flows, stay on the specialty package with the Strkr-to-package connector, or keep Salesforce for the specific business unit that depends on the specialty package. The implementation team walks each package during the design phase.
What is the all-in year-2 cost comparison for a 50-rep team?
Salesforce 50-rep year-2 math: Sales Cloud Enterprise at 165 per seat per month runs 99,000. Add-ons (CRM Analytics at roughly 125 per seat, Agentforce credits at roughly 50 to 100 per seat per month, Sales Enablement at 75 per seat per month, LeanData routing at 25 per seat per month, Highspot or Seismic at 40 to 80 per seat per month, Outreach at 100 to 160 per seat per month, ZoomInfo at team-based pricing). All-in licensing commonly lands at 350,000 to 500,000 per year. Admin cost (dedicated certified admin at fully-loaded 140,000, or partner retainer at 60,000 to 120,000). Total year-2: roughly 410,000 to 640,000. Strkr 50-rep year-2 math: flat per-seat tier covers CRM, cadences, enablement, routing, enrichment, forecast, AI, admin, mobile all-in at the Strkr rate. Total year-2: roughly 115,000 to 180,000 all-in with the RevOps generalist running admin at the existing team comp level. The ratio is roughly 3x to 4x in favor of Strkr for the mid-market scale.

Does Strkr work for Industries Cloud users (Financial Services Cloud, Health Cloud, Manufacturing Cloud)?
Depends on the depth of Industries Cloud configuration. Financial Services Cloud users running the standard household and relationship group models with wealth management plus banking plus insurance workflows can usually migrate with Strkr's custom-object builder modeling the household and relationship structures. The migration is more complex than a vanilla Sales Cloud migration but doable. Health Cloud users running the full EHR integration plus care plan workflows plus HIPAA-compliant document management face more complexity because the Health Cloud objects (Patient, Care Plan, Care Plan Template, Care Request, Clinical Encounter) are deeply tuned to healthcare workflows. For heavy Health Cloud users, staying on Salesforce or evaluating a dedicated healthcare CRM (Veeva) is often the right choice. Manufacturing Cloud users running Sales Agreements, Advanced Account Forecasting, and the full ABM-like workflows typically migrate cleanly to Strkr with the custom-object builder. Automotive Cloud, Consumer Goods Cloud, Media Cloud, and Nonprofit Cloud each have specific object models to walk during design. The implementation team runs the Industries Cloud evaluation during the pilot discovery.
