The short version
- Each has a real cost: Cegid no pricing published on website; Icertis the value comes from structured clause and metadata models, and building those is legal and commercial work your own people must do, so a project resourced as an IT deployment stalls at the point where somebody has to decide what the standard clauses actually are.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Cegid
- No pricing published on website
- Requires direct sales contact for quotes
- No tiered or self-service pricing options available
- Partner portal access required for resellers
Icertis
- The value comes from structured clause and metadata models, and building those is legal and commercial work your own people must do, so a project resourced as an IT deployment stalls at the point where somebody has to decide what the standard clauses actually are.
- This is priced and scoped for large enterprises, so an organisation with a few thousand straightforward agreements pays for capability it will not configure and would reach most of the same benefit with a lighter mid-market product.
- Implementations run in quarters rather than weeks once integrations to CRM and ERP are in scope, and the business case usually assumes benefits that only start after the historic contract population has been migrated and tagged.
- Migrating legacy contracts means extracting terms from signed PDFs, and automated extraction needs human review to be trustworthy, so the backlog of old agreements is a labour cost that is routinely left out of the initial estimate.
- The platform is built on Azure with its strongest integrations in the Microsoft stack, which is an advantage inside a Microsoft estate and a source of friction for an organisation standardised elsewhere.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Cegid: How much does Cegid cost?
Cegid does not publish pricing on their website. Costs are determined by contacting their sales team, requesting a demo, or working with a partner reseller based on specific organizational needs.
SourceIcertis: How is this different from storing contracts in SharePoint?
A document store answers where the contract is. CLM answers what is in it. If your questions are about locating files, a document store is enough. If your questions are portfolio wide, such as total exposure to a clause type or which agreements renew next quarter, you need the terms as data.
Cegid: What is Cegid's pricing model?
Cegid uses a custom enterprise pricing model. To obtain pricing information, contact Cegid directly via their contact form, schedule a consultation, or access the partner portal with credentials.
SourceIcertis: Do we need a legal operations team to make this work?
In practice yes, or someone doing that job under another title. The system enforces decisions about standard language, approval thresholds and acceptable deviation, and if nobody owns those decisions the workflow becomes an approval queue with no rules behind it.
Cegid: Does Cegid offer a free trial?
The website does not mention a free trial. Schedule a demo or contact their sales team to explore product capabilities before purchasing.
SourceIcertis: What does it compete with?
SAP Ariba contract management, Coupa, Conga, DocuSign CLM, Sirion and Agiloft, among others. The split is roughly enterprise depth against mid-market speed, and Icertis sits firmly at the enterprise end.
Icertis: Is contract data extraction from legacy agreements automated?
Partly. Extraction tooling gets you a draft set of fields, but anything you intend to rely on for a legal or financial decision needs human verification, so budget for review effort proportional to the size of your back catalogue.
