Do I need an enterprise rollout to switch from Copado?

No. Our team handles setup directly in about 15 minutes and trains your whole team, included. No certified implementation partner required.

Can I try Serpent without a sales call, unlike Copado's Enterprise tier?

Yes. Jump into a free demo workspace right away, no credit card or sales call. Copado requires a sales call and a scoped trial.

Can we run Serpent and Copado side by side while we switch?

Yes. Serpent reads the same Git and Salesforce metadata Copado does, so you can route some teams or orgs through Serpent while others stay on Copado. Most migrations take 2 to 4 weeks of overlap.

Does Serpent support ISV and 2GP packaging like Copado?

Yes. First-generation (1GP) and second-generation (2GP) package development, version management across subscriber orgs, and AppExchange release workflows on every plan.
