Story

Salesforce Ben reports the price hike paired with unlimited Agentforce licenses on certain tiers, effectively folding agent usage into the seat instead of metering it. It's a strategic bet that "agents are free with the platform" beats per-agent metering for lock-in, even as Agentforce's à la carte consumption pricing persists elsewhere. The live tension: are AI agents a line item or a platform entitlement? Salesforce just voted entitlement.
