Alternative to Salesforce
Vexor is a Salesforce alternative for contractors who got sold into enterprise CRM but actually need an operations system — quotes, jobs, crew scheduling, time tracking, invoicing — instead of opportunity stages, lead scoring, and a Sales Cloud subscription nobody on the crew uses.

Vexor vs Salesforce.
Why teams switch.
01.
Salesforce is a CRM built around the sales-team motion: leads, stages, opportunities, forecasts, quotas. That model fits SaaS sales teams. It doesn't fit a contractor whose "pipeline" is bids and whose "deal close" is a signed estimate. Vexor was built around the trade workflow from day one.
02.
Salesforce out of the box has none of what a contractor actually runs daily — crew scheduling, timesheets, daily logs, JSA, job-site photos. You'd be paying for the platform and then paying again to build or integrate each missing piece.
03.
Salesforce Sales Cloud is $25–$165/user/month. A 10-person team is $3,000–$20,000/year on seats alone, before implementation, customization, and add-ons. Vexor is $708–$2,388/year flat per workspace.
04.
Salesforce implementations are projects — admins, consultants, custom objects, page layouts, validation rules. Vexor works out of the box for contractors because the workflows are built in, not configured.
05.
Salesforce mobile is fine for sales reps checking opportunities on planes. Vexor mobile is built for a crew member opening it on their phone in a driveway at 7am to clock in.
FAQ.
Usually one of three reasons: they got sold into it by a Salesforce partner, they outgrew QuickBooks and someone said "you need a CRM," or they tried to repurpose it after seeing other businesses use it. None of those reasons mean it's the right tool for crew-based contracting.
For contractors, yes. Vexor covers the customer-record, lead-tracking, and quoting parts of CRM, plus the operational pieces (scheduling, time, jobs, invoicing) Salesforce doesn't.
A 10-user Salesforce Sales Cloud Pro license is $1,250/mo ($15,000/year) on seats alone. Vexor Operations is $199/mo ($2,388/year). Annual delta is typically $10,000–$30,000+.
Yes — Salesforce exports CSVs of accounts, contacts, opportunities. Vexor imports the customer + job data during onboarding.
Vexor doesn't replace Marketing Cloud or Pardot. If you're running automated email nurture sequences at scale, that's outside Vexor's scope. Most contractors don't need that.
When you have a dedicated sales team running a complex pipeline (think commercial GCs with year-long sales cycles, dozens of stakeholders per deal). For 90%+ of trade contractors, it's overkill.
