The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Apttus no pricing published on Conga pricing page; Degreed pricing is entirely quote-based with no public rate card, and third parties report annual floors around 25,000 USD and licence minimums as high as 150 seats, so a mid-sized organisation frequently cannot buy it at any sensible price.
  • They diverge on capability: Apttus covers CPQ, Degreed covers Content aggregation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

  • Contract managementnot Degreed
  • Sales enablementnot Degreed

Degreed

  • A large enterprise that already spends heavily on Coursera and LinkedIn Learning and cannot tell which of it is used or usefulnot Apttus
  • An organisation planning a workforce transition and needing a defensible view of which skills exist internally before it hires externallynot Apttus
  • A company running compliance training in an LMS that wants a separate, voluntary development experience employees actually choose to opennot Apttus
  • A group building internal mobility, matching people to open roles and stretch projects on evidenced skills rather than job titlesnot Apttus

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Apttus

  • No pricing published on Conga pricing page
  • Requires direct contact with sales for pricing quotes
  • Enterprise-focused solution with custom negotiations

Degreed

  • Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public rate card, and third parties report annual floors around 25,000 USD and licence minimums as high as 150 seats, so a mid-sized organisation frequently cannot buy it at any sensible price.
  • Degreed is a layer, not a replacement: you keep paying for the learning management system that runs compliance training and for the content subscriptions it indexes, so the licence is a third line on top of two you already have.
  • The skills data leans heavily on employee self-assessment, and self-rated skill is a weak signal; if managers do not validate ratings consistently the workforce capability picture that justified the purchase is not reliable enough to make hiring or redeployment decisions on.
  • Adoption is voluntary in most deployments, so unless the organisation ties learning to something consequential, usage decays after the launch campaign and the platform becomes an expensive search box.
  • Integrations with content providers vary in depth: some surface full metadata and completion write-back while others index only titles, so the unified record of learning the business case assumed can be patchy in exactly the sources employees use most.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Apttus: How much does Apttus (Conga) cost?

Apttus pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Costs are determined through direct consultation with Conga's sales team based on specific business requirements and deployment size.

Source
Degreed: Does Degreed replace our LMS?

No. It is a discovery and skills layer over content. Compliance training, assignment and certification records generally stay in the LMS, and you pay for both.

Apttus: Does Conga offer published pricing tiers?

No, Conga emphasizes custom pricing built for each business. The vendor states they provide clear details about product options and associated costs through consultation rather than published tier pricing.

Source
Degreed: What does Degreed cost?

It is quote-only. Third-party reports put annual floors around 25,000 USD with licence minimums that can reach 150 seats.

Degreed: Is the skills data trustworthy?

Only as far as your validation process is. It is built on self-assessment plus peer endorsement, so without manager validation it should not drive redeployment decisions.

Degreed: Can individuals use it free?

Yes, Degreed offers a free personal profile for tracking your own learning, separate from the enterprise product.
