The Salesforce alternative built for people who'd rather be doing the work
Salesforce was engineered for enterprise sales organizations with admins, implementation consultants, and complex customization needs. If you're a consultant, fractional executive, or agency founder, you don't need that complexity. You need something built for how consultants actually win business.
A pipeline that runs without admins or seven-figure rollouts. Currency, probability, every signal visible the day it fires.
The Admin Tax, The Per-Seat Trap, The Customization Treadmill
Salesforce is powerful. It's also a full-time job to operate. Every feature you want requires either custom development, configuration by a Salesforce admin, or both. Out of the box, you get a blank database and a bewildering array of setup screens. For a 5 to 50 person relationship-led business, this is the wrong trade-off.
The pricing model punishes you for growing. Salesforce charges per user per month, which means adding a team member, a contractor, or a fractional advisor instantly adds to your bill. A 10-person team paying $80 per user per month for Sales Cloud Professional is already $9,600 per year. Add Einstein AI at $50 per user and you're at $15,600 per year before you've touched custom development.
And then you need an admin. Not because Salesforce is simple, but because it isn't. Your admin owns data quality, report maintenance, field configuration, and integration management. They become a bottleneck. Teams tell us they spend more time in Salesforce meetings with their admin than they spend actually selling.
Nynch approaches this differently. We built an AI CRM purpose-built for how you actually win business, with zero admin overhead.
For Relationship-Led Businesses
It tells you what happened, never what to do next
Salesforce is reactive. You log in and see historical data. Which deals moved to a new stage this week? Who opened your email three days ago? What's your forecast for next quarter? Salesforce answers those questions. But consulting doesn't work that way. The deals that matter are the ones your competitors don't know about yet.
Nynch is active. It watches your inbox, calendar, and network continuously. When someone in your Sleeping Network gets funding, changes jobs, or announces a new initiative, you see it before anyone else. Nynch doesn't just record the buying signal. It gives you a reason to reach out and puts you at the top of their mind. You stop asking "what happened?" and start asking "what's my next move?"
Per-seat pricing punishes you for growing
Salesforce charges per user per month. One person? $80 per month. Ten people? $800 per month. A contractor? Add them. A fractional advisor? Add them. Every time you hire or bring someone in, your Salesforce bill jumps. Most of our users tell us that bringing someone new into the company meant a budget conversation about the Salesforce bill.
Nynch is $99 per month for solo, $399 per month for a full team. No per-user charges and no feature tiers gated to expensive plans. Hire five new people? Your bill stays the same. Bring in a new fractional partner? No new charges. Your team can grow without a budget meeting every time someone joins. Two optional add-ons exist (AI Growth Agent and Website AI Agent), both clearly listed on the pricing page and never required.
It assumes you have ops people
Salesforce is built for organizations with Salesforce admins, business analysts, and operations teams. Out of the box, Salesforce requires configuration. Fields, workflows, automation rules, custom settings. Every feature you want often requires either a developer or an admin. If you're a 5-person team, you don't have an admin. You can't afford one either.
Nynch assumes you are the team. Connect your Gmail, Calendar, and LinkedIn. We handle the rest. Relationship records build automatically. Your stale relationships Rate calculates automatically. buying signals surface automatically. Your Active Constellations assemble themselves. No configuration, no admin, no setup tax. You spend your time on relationships, not on software.
Intelligence That Actually Moves Business
Superbrain Learning Loop: Every relationship monitored 24/7
Nynch watches your Gmail, Calendar, LinkedIn, and meeting tools continuously. Every interaction, every mention, every conversation is part of your relationship record. We know who you talk to, when you last connected, and what you discussed. Your relationships stay healthy without manual data entry. You never have to ask someone "remind me what we talked about" again.
buying signal detection: Outside-the-system signals surfaced automatically
Job changes, funding announcements, new partnerships, leadership changes. These are the moments when relationships become opportunities. Nynch monitors your network for these buying signals and alerts you before the situation changes again. You get a reason to reach out that's grounded in something real, not a mass email campaign. You become the trusted advisor your network looks to first.
Active Constellations: Your warm network as a living asset
Nynch identifies the people, accounts, and relationships most likely to generate revenue in the next 6 to 12 months. These are your Active Constellations. We show you who's in your network, who they know, and where the dormant network value is hiding. You go from guessing at opportunity to seeing your relationship strategy in real time.

Salesforce vs. Nynch, Answered
Salesforce was built for enterprise sales orgs with admins, ops teams, and six-figure customization budgets. For a 1 to 50 person consultancy or agency, that's not a fit. Nynch is the Salesforce alternative built for relationship-led businesses. It connects to Gmail, Calendar, and LinkedIn in under an hour, runs on $99 per month for solo or $399 for a team, and replaces manual data entry with continuous relationship intelligence.
Salesforce is a database. You log in, type things in, and look at reports. Nynch is an intelligence layer. It watches your inbox and calendar continuously, builds relationship records automatically, detects buying signals like job changes and funding rounds, and tells you what to do next. Salesforce assumes you have an SDR team. Nynch assumes you are the team.
Salesforce Sales Cloud Professional is $80 per user per month. Enterprise is $165 per user per month. Add Einstein AI at $50 per user per month, plus implementation consultants at $200 per hour. A 10-person team easily runs $25,000 to $40,000 per year before customization. Nynch is $399 per month flat for the whole team, with no per-seat charges and no implementation fees. Two optional add-ons exist (AI Growth Agent and Website AI Agent), both clearly listed on the pricing page and never required.
Yes. Most small teams use under 20 percent of Salesforce's features. Nynch covers the parts that actually matter for relationship-led businesses: account health, stakeholder mapping, deal context, expansion signals, and follow-up automation. There's no implementation, no admin training, no per-seat math.
Three things. stale relationships tracking, which catches relationships going cold before they cost you a renewal. buying signal detection, which surfaces external buying signals from your network automatically. Auto-generated meeting briefs, pulled from your own email and meeting history without manual prep.
