The short version
- Each has a real cost: bexio pricing in Swiss francs only; prices exclude VAT; Jaggaer this is a spend layer and not an ERP, so it must integrate with the finance system for vendor master, cost centres, budgets and invoice posting, and that integration is a build with ongoing maintenance rather than a configuration setting.

Jaggaer
- This is a spend layer and not an ERP, so it must integrate with the finance system for vendor master, cost centres, budgets and invoice posting, and that integration is a build with ongoing maintenance rather than a configuration setting.
- The suite is licensed by module, so a demonstration that shows sourcing, contracts, analytics and invoicing working together may represent four separate purchases and a quote for one module tells you little about the cost of the working system.
- Savings depend on buyer compliance rather than on software, so an organisation without the authority to stop off system purchasing ends up paying a subscription for a reporting tool that describes the leakage it was bought to prevent.
- Supplier enablement is slow and unglamorous work, because every supplier you want transacting electronically has to be contacted, configured and tested, and low enablement rates leave you running two processes at once.
- Spend analytics is only as good as the classification behind it, so historic data with inconsistent supplier names and missing category codes needs a cleansing exercise before any report from it can be shown to a board.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
bexio: How much does Bexio's Basic plan cost?
Bexio's Basic plan costs CHF 35 per month with annual billing or CHF 45 per month with monthly billing, including 1 user.
SourceJaggaer: Do I need this if my ERP already has a purchasing module?
ERP purchasing records transactions well and influences them poorly. If your problem is that buyers ignore negotiated contracts, or that you cannot analyse spend by category, a dedicated suite adds something. If your problem is purchase order processing, your ERP module is cheaper and already integrated.
bexio: What discount do new Bexio customers receive?
New customers receive a 40% discount on Advanced and higher tiers during their first year when using code bx40 by August 28, 2026.
SourceJaggaer: How does it compare with SAP Ariba or Coupa?
All three cover the same ground. The differences that matter in practice are which one your ERP integrates with most cheaply, which has real depth in your sector, and which suppliers are already transacting on the network. JAGGAER has an unusually deep footprint in higher education and research purchasing.
bexio: Does Bexio offer a free trial?
Bexio provides a 30-day free trial with Ultimate plan features included, allowing users to test all functionality before committing.
SourceJaggaer: What does implementation actually involve?
Supplier data cleansing, category taxonomy design, approval workflow design, ERP integration and supplier enablement. The software configuration is the smallest of those. Expect the services engagement to be comparable to the first year of subscription.
bexio: How many users can each Bexio plan support?
Bexio plans support 1 user (Basic), 2 users (Advanced), 5 users (Optima), and 25 users (Ultimate).
SourceJaggaer: Is it sold direct or through partners?
JAGGAER sells direct and also works with implementation partners on larger programmes. Whichever route you take, ask specifically who will hold the integration work and whether that team has connected to your ERP version before.
