Why this comparison
Agentforce is Salesforce's customer-facing AI agent layer, priced per conversation with a Data Cloud prerequisite that pushes total cost north of $60K per year. Clientell is the admin-facing AI agent that lives one layer deeper, executing flows, data ops, permissions, and reports from plain English at $99/month with no Data Cloud requirement. They are not competitors. They solve different problems for different teams. This comparison exists because most buyers conflate the two on first encounter.
