The short version

Each has a real cost: Axonaut base price of EUR 38/month covers only 1 user; every additional user costs EUR 29.99/month more, so team pricing scales linearly with no volume discount tier shown; Ivalua entry deployments are reported around 150,000 US dollars a year before implementation, which puts it entirely out of reach for mid-market procurement teams.

Where each one falls short

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

Axonaut

Base price of EUR 38/month covers only 1 user; every additional user costs EUR 29.99/month more, so team pricing scales linearly with no volume discount tier shown
Discounted monthly rates require paying 1, 2 or 3 years upfront in full rather than a recurring discount on monthly billing

Ivalua

Entry deployments are reported around 150,000 US dollars a year before implementation, which puts it entirely out of reach for mid-market procurement teams.
Configurability requires an internal product owner and usually a systems integrator, so the total programme cost is a multiple of the licence and the failure modes are those of an ERP project.
Module-based licensing means capability you assumed was included, such as contract lifecycle management or supplier risk, is frequently a separate line item discovered late in the negotiation.
Supplier network pricing scales with active supplier count, so an organisation with a long tail of small suppliers pays for records that generate little spend.
The user interface prioritises configurability over ease, and casual requisitioners across the business need more guidance than a consumer-style intake tool would require.
