What is each one built for?

Salesforce Financial Services Cloud is a platform for banks, insurers and wealth firms. It gives you industry data models, advisor consoles and room to build almost any workflow. That power comes with setup work: most firms configure it to fit how they operate.

Copiafy is client management software for financial, tax, credit and real-estate professionals. It comes ready to use: a booking page, a branded client portal, document collection, invoices with pay links, e-signed agreements and an AI Agent that works inside each client's file.

How much does each cost in year one?

For a three-person practice, Salesforce's entry edition comes to $11,700 a year in licenses. Copiafy's Team plan comes to $1,788. The Salesforce figure is before any setup or partner fees.

Salesforce FSC

Solo advisor

$948 (Practice, $79 × 12)

$3,900 (Sales Core, $325 × 12)

Three-person team

$1,788 (Team, $149 × 12, 3 seats)

$11,700 (Sales Core, 3 users)

The difference matters most for a small practice. At $150 an hour, the $2,952 a solo advisor saves in year one is about 20 hours of their time.

Can you use Copiafy and Salesforce together?

Yes. Keep Salesforce as your firm's system of record, and use Copiafy for the client-facing work it doesn't cover out of the box. New clients book and pay on your Copiafy booking page. They upload documents and message you in their portal. They sign your agreement and pay your invoice there too.

Copiafy doesn't connect to Salesforce yet, so you'll keep key client details in both for now. A simple way to start: try Copiafy with your next few new clients, then decide what to move. With a 14-day free trial and monthly billing, it's a low-risk way to find out.


When your clients are cutting costs, your software bill shouldn't be the reason your fees go up. A solo advisor deserves the same client experience a big firm offers, without the big-firm budget or a consultant to set it up.

Which one should you choose?

Choose Salesforce if you have a team to configure and run it, need custom workflows across many departments, or rely on integrations from its app marketplace.

Choose Copiafy if you're a solo advisor or a small practice, want clients booking, sharing documents and paying this week, and would rather spend your budget on your clients than on software setup.
