Same protocol.
Different audience.
Salesforce shipped Headless 360 for the enterprise. We shipped the small-business slice the same week. Same MCP standard, same security posture, a fraction of the surface area - and a fraction of the price.
If you have a Salesforce admin team and a 6–12 month implementation budget, buy theirs. If you want MCP working in 5 minutes for $97/mo, you're in the right place.
Built and run by the founder across nine real businesses. The same platform we use every day to manage CRM, pipeline, invoicing, and marketing. Now opening to founding customers.

Twilio + ElevenLabs voice agent answers inbound calls, captures lead, books appointment, drops it into the pipeline. Salesforce needs a partner build for this; we ship it.

curl + bash works today against /api/v1. A first-party `oh360` CLI is on the roadmap - same auth model, scriptable everywhere.
RoadmapWhere each one wins
Green = the clear win for that side. Gray = the gap. We'd rather show you the truth and let you pick than puff a fake parity claim.

What we don't do (yet)
The honest list. If any of these are deal-breakers for your business, Salesforce is the right buy and we'll tell you so.
Service Cloud-grade case management
We have a unified inbox + chat. Salesforce has formal SLA timers, escalation queues, omnichannel routing, and case milestones. If you run a 30-agent contact center, theirs is the right tool.
Slack / Teams native cards
Their Agentforce renders interactive cards inside Slack and Teams threads. Ours runs through Claude/ChatGPT MCP today. A native Slack app is on our roadmap.
Hosted agent runtime
Salesforce hosts the agent loop with multi-model support (Sonnet, GPT-5). Ours assumes you bring your own agent (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor) and the MCP server feeds it data. More flexible, less turnkey.
Marketing Cloud / Data Cloud breadth
We do email + SMS automation, lead scoring, and pipeline. We don't do data warehousing, customer 360 graph, or large-scale audience segmentation. If those are core to your motion, you're past us.
Where we beat them, brand names hidden
Time-to-value
6-line config snippet. 30-second OAuth. First MCP call in under 5 minutes. Theirs is 3–12 months with an implementation partner. For a small business, that gap is the entire decision.
Voice + phone, built in
Twilio + ElevenLabs voice agent answers inbound calls, qualifies leads, books appointments, drops them in the pipeline. Out of the box. They need a partner build for this.
Multi-business per tenant
One OneHub360 tenant runs up to 12 businesses with isolated data and shared billing. Salesforce orgs are siloed; multi-org costs more and adds admin overhead.
Price floor that fits a 5-person team
$97/month, unlimited team members, MCP from day one. Their MCP unlocks at Enterprise + Unlimited tiers, before you've hired the admin team to use it.
Headless Salesforce alternative FAQ
Is OneHub360 an API-first alternative to a headless Salesforce setup?
OneHub360 offers API access on its plans so you can read and write CRM data programmatically, without an enterprise contract or a custom implementation. It pairs that API with a finished CRM, pipeline, email, chat, invoicing, and booking, so you are not building the front end from scratch.
How much does OneHub360 cost versus Salesforce for API access?
OneHub360 starts at $97/mo flat, with API access included on the plans. Salesforce prices per seat and a headless build typically adds implementation and developer cost on top. OneHub360 keeps the base price flat as the team grows.
Do I need an enterprise contract to use the OneHub360 API?
No. API access is part of the standard plans, with hashed keys scoped to a single business. There is no enterprise agreement or implementation project required to start.
When is a headless Salesforce build still the better path?
Choose a headless Salesforce build if you need deep enterprise customization, the Salesforce ecosystem, and have the developer team and budget to run it. OneHub360 fits teams that want a working CRM plus an API without the enterprise overhead.
