OwnCRM
The exit engine for Salesforce

Own your CRM.
Escape the Salesforce tax.

OwnCRM reads your Salesforce org — objects, code, flows, sharing — and emits a runnable, login-protected CRM you fully own and self-host on PostgreSQL, Node, and React. No per-seat rent. No Agentforce surprise bill. Your data, your code, your cloud.

§ 01The lock-in taxof 07

You don't own your CRM.
You rent it — forever.

Salesforce raised Enterprise list to $175/user/mo in 2025, then layered Agentforce on top at $125–$550/user/mo. Every seat you add, every year you stay, the meter runs — and you still can't take your app with you.

  • Per-seat rent that compounds. Growth is punished — headcount is a cost multiplier, not a feature.
  • Agentforce escalation. AI add-ons can push a mid-size org's bill into seven figures a year.
  • No exit. Your logic lives in Apex, Flows, and layouts you can't run anywhere else.
Ledger № 01Example · 200 seats
Enterprise licenses — 200 × $175/mo$420,000/yr
Agentforce add-on (mid-range)+ 6–7 figures
Integrations, admins, TCO uplift+ $210K–420K
Annual, recurring, forever$420K+
Same org · next 10 years
Keep renting Salesforce (all-in TCO)$9.1M
Own it — one-time $525K + aftercare$0.98M
The cost of not owning$8.1M

Verified anchors: $175/user/mo Enterprise list (post-Aug 2025); fully-loaded TCO ≈ 1.5–2× license; Agentforce $125–$550/user/mo. 10-year model: 8%/yr list escalation, 1.5× TCO, one-time conversion 1.25× annual, aftercare 12%/yr — license-only comparison still saves $5.1M; $21M+ if you'd have adopted Agentforce. Your real numbers are computed in the free X-Ray.

§ 02The procedure — four honest stepsof 07

No lift-and-shift black box. Every step produces an artifact you can read, run, and keep.

STEP 01

Free Org X-Ray

We read your metadata and hand back an inventory, an honest coverage %, an exit bill-of-materials, and your real cost exposure.

STEP 02

Transcribe to owned code

Objects, fields, formulas, layouts, and sharing deterministically become a Postgres schema, RLS policies, and React views.

STEP 03

Translate the logic

Apex, Flows, and approvals are translated to TypeScript and a state-machine engine — LLM-assisted, then checked by a verification harness.

STEP 04

Deploy to your cloud

Ship a deploy bundle to AWS, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner. Data migrates via the Bulk API. You get the repo, the DB, and the keys.

§ 03Exhibits — same Opportunity, two worldsof 07

The record your team lives in every day — rendered by the meter you rent, and by the app you own.

Exhibit A — what you rent$175/user/mo · illustration

The meter runs while you work: per-seat license, per-seat AI add-on, storage overages — and the UI, the logic, and the data model all stay Salesforce's.

Exhibit B — what you own$0/user/mo · real screenshot
Real screenshot: the standard Opportunity record rendered by the engine-generated React app — layout-driven detail view with Edit and Delete, served from PostgreSQL behind JWT login
YOUR POSTGRESYOUR REACT CODEYOUR SERVERRLS = YOUR SHARING RULES

Real, unedited engine output — not a mockup: a vanilla org’s standard Opportunity, retrieved and transcribed by the engine, deployed to PostgreSQL + Fastify + React with JWT login on a real server, then screenshotted. Every object gets list, detail, and edit views; validation rules become Zod, sharing becomes Postgres RLS. See the edit form and login screen from the same app.

§ 04Manifest of conversion — 14 surfacesof 07

A vanilla sales org

The two above are the hardest orgs we could find — Salesforce's own code showcases, scored honestly. Most real orgs are built by admins, not developers, and look like this one: it rebuilds mostly on its own, and deployed to a live server with zero manual patches.

We never fabricate. The flags are the plan.

Vendors over-promise a magic 100%. We don't. Everything that deterministically converts is generated; everything that needs a human is flagged with a reason — and that flagged list becomes your scoped, honest migration plan. Trust is the moat.

The moat · MetadataContext

We document what your org actually does

Fifteen years of admin decisions live in field names no one remembers the reason for. MetadataContext uses an LLM to infer and record the business purpose of every object and field — so the app you own is also the app you understand.

  • Purpose inference for every field & object, in plain language.
  • Verification harness confirms translated logic matches original behavior.
  • Living documentation ships with the code — not a stale wiki.
§ 06The method — six gates, reversible until the lastof 07

Leaving Salesforce is not a leap. It is six gates, each signed off before the next begins. You can stop at any gate. Salesforce is read-only and untouched until the last one — and even then, the rollback rules are agreed in writing before anything changes.

GATE 01

Read-only access

You grant read-only access to a Salesforce sandbox — export the metadata yourself and send us the zip, or issue a scoped read-only user we act under. We never write to your org. We never touch production.

GATEYou approve the access scope before anything runs.
EVIDENCESigned authorization letter + metadata snapshotdelivered to you
EXITStop here. Nothing in Salesforce changed.
GATE 02

Org X-Ray

We run your metadata through the engine and hand back an honest report: what rebuilds on its own, what needs a person, and the per-seat cost you pay today. Nothing is rounded up.

GATEYou read the coverage and decide to go on.
EVIDENCEYour Org X-Ray reportyours to keep
EXITKeep the X-Ray. Owe nothing more.
GATE 03

Rebuild and prove

The engine rebuilds your objects, fields, and rules as a PostgreSQL, Node, and React app you own. Anything it cannot rebuild on its own is flagged for a person, and each rule is reproduced and checked case by case.

GATEEvery flag reviewed, every rule signed off. The build cannot ship to deploy while one flag is open.
EVIDENCEThe conversion ledger — each flag acknowledged, each behavior matchedcase by case
EXITStop. Salesforce is untouched.
GATE 04

Data dry run

We load a full copy of your data into the new stack and check it three ways: row counts, orphaned records, and per-table checksums.

GATEOne strict verdict — PASS, FAIL, or INCOMPLETE. Only a PASS moves on.
EVIDENCEThe data validation reportsigned verdict
EXITStop. Salesforce is still your system of record.
GATE 05

Parallel run

Your team uses the new app next to Salesforce, which stays the system of record. We compare reports until there is no difference we cannot explain.

GATEThe divergence log is empty, or every entry is explained.
EVIDENCEThe parallel-run divergence logreviewed daily
EXITStop. Salesforce is untouched.
GATE 06

Gated cutover

Only now does anything in Salesforce change: a scheduled write freeze, a final data sync, and the switch to the stack you own. The rollback rules are agreed in writing before the freeze begins.

GATEFull validation is green and the error rate holds at normal for one hour before decommission.
EVIDENCEThe cutover sign-offsmoke tests green
EXITIf the final check is not green, we roll back to Salesforce. It stays reversible until sign-off.

Reversible until the last gate. That is the whole point.

Every gate before cutover only reads from Salesforce — it stays your system of record, live and untouched. The first change to your org happens at Gate 06, under a rollback plan you signed off in advance. You are never asked to trust a black box; you are asked to approve one gate at a time.

§ 07Pricing — pay once, own itof 07

The whole thesis is escaping seat rent — so we refuse to charge it. One-time conversion, priced against your license line, scoped by the X-Ray.
