# Salesforce Editions

We offer bundles of features and services, each geared toward specific business needs.

These bundles, called _editions_, share a look and feel but vary by functionality and pricing. Some customers start with a basic edition and upgrade to a more feature-rich edition as business requirements evolve.

It’s easy to learn which features are available in various editions. Just search for features in Salesforce Help. Toward the top of every topic, you can see the editions in which the feature’s available. Here’s a quick description of each edition that we offer.
