What is Salesforce Platform?
Salesforce Platform, formerly known as Force.com, is a platform-as-a-service that lets developers and admins build custom business applications on top of Salesforce's infrastructure. It combines low-code tools such as Lightning App Builder for page layouts and Flow Builder for process automation with pro-code options using Apex, Lightning Web Components, and REST/SOAP APIs. Built-in capabilities include data security, sharing rules, reporting, mobile access, and integration with the wider Salesforce ecosystem.
Pricing is quoted per user per month and billed annually. Entry-level access for custom app building starts at a lower per-seat rate, with a higher-priced tier adding AI-assisted development capabilities, and further editions scaling up to enterprise-grade features and support. Because Salesforce restructures its editions periodically and quotes vary by contract, organizations should confirm current tier names and prices directly with Salesforce before purchasing.
