For smaller businesses, with limit budgets, Salesforce is expensive. As it caters to all your departments, it is tough to set up and complicated to use.

Salesforce is an expensive tool for small businesses. Even its most affordable plan — which offers lesser in terms of functionality — is more expensive than Kylas. In addition, salesforces charges around USD 5,0000 (approximately INR 4 lac for its jumpstart implementation: source) on average for implementation, which is a massive amount for any growing business.
Kylas on the other is built and priced for growing businesses. We offer all our features at a flat-fee prices and our implementation charges will not drill a hole in your pocket. We do not have any hidden cost and our add-ons are the most affordable in the market.

On Salesforces you have to pay the full price for every user licenses even when you are hardly using 50% of the features.

Salesforce’s biggest pro and selling point - that it is an all-in-one CRM with expansive features - is also its biggest con! Salesforce comes with a learning curve. It is complex and there are a lot of features and settings on the system that can be tough to understand, especially for first time CRM users.
Kylas, on the other hand, is simple and easy to use. It is suitable for businesses of all sizes, and you can get started with in it in less than 30 mins. Its intuitive platform and powerful features are focused on helping sales reps and managers.
With Salesforce, implementation, and customization become a little tedious because of its vast feature set. In addition, Salesforce doesn’t have an internal team to help you with the onboarding process. So, you pay $20 - $190 additionally to hire implementation partners to customize the product as per your need.
With Kylas this is just not the case. We have built Kylas keeping in mind the unique needs of growing businesses. It is easy to use and customizing it, is not at all cumbersome.
