7 Powerful Truths About AppExchange vs Custom
Development You Need to Know
Why This Choice Isn’t “One-
Size-Fits-All”
Choosing between AppExchange and
custom development can affect:
How fast your solution is
ready
01.
The total cost of
implementation
02.
Your ability to scale in
future
03.
When AppExchange Makes
More Sense
You need a solution
fast
Your needs are common
and repeatable
You want trusted, pre-
vetted apps
AppExchange is great when:
Your process is highly customized
But It’s Not Always a
Perfect Fit
AppExchange may fall short if:
You need deep integration flexibility
You want full control over your code
You dislike dependency on third-
parties
Where Custom Development
Shines
Custom solutions are best when:
You need tailored
features
Long-term scalability
is critical
Competitive edge comes
from tech uniqueness
Know the Custom Drawbacks
Too
Custom isn’t always easy. Be ready for:
Longer development
cycles
Higher upfront
costs
Ongoing maintenance
responsibility
Need for experienced
developers
✅ What’s your timeline and urgency?
✅ What’s your budget flexibility?
✅ Will off-the-shelf work for now?
✅ Verified Success
✅ Will your needs grow or shift?
Ask These 4 Questions
Before Choosing
Still confused? Ask yourself:
Mix both approaches for balance
Start with AppExchange, later customize
Build MVPs before full development
Focus on business outcome, not hype
Real-World Tip From
Salesforce Experts
Experienced teams often:
✅ Certified Skills
✅ Custom Solutions
✅ Ongoing Support
✅ Verified Success
