The short version

  • Only Bling has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bling entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage; 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.

Where each one falls short

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

Bling

  • Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
  • The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it

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

Bling: What are Bling's pricing tiers?

Jaggaer: 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.

Bling: What storage limits does Bling provide?

Storage increases per tier: Cobalto has 60 MB data and 1.2 GB files; Titânio has 120 MB data and 3 GB files; Diamante has 1.8 GB data and 45 GB files; Elite has 5 GB data and 50 GB files.

Source
Jaggaer: 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.

Bling: What order limits does each Bling plan support?

Cobalto supports up to 200 orders; Titânio supports 500+ orders; Diamante supports up to 10,000 orders; Elite supports 10,000+ orders with custom configuration.

Source
Jaggaer: 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.

Jaggaer: 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.
