The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Cin7 no free trial mentioned; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: Cin7 covers Inventory management, Icertis covers Clause library and templates.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

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

Cin7: What is the minimum cost to start using Cin7?

Cin7 Core Standard plan costs $349/month (USD), including 5 users, 6,000 annual sales orders, and 2 integrations. Pricing excludes taxes.

Source
Icertis: 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.

Cin7: How many users are included on each Cin7 plan?

Standard includes 5 users, Pro includes 10 users, and Advanced includes 15 users. Cin7 Omni is customizable with 8 base users.

Source
Icertis: 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.

Cin7: What sales order limits apply to each plan?

Standard supports 6,000 orders annually, Pro supports 24,000 orders annually, and Advanced supports 120,000 orders annually. Cin7 Omni has flexible order volumes.

Source
Icertis: 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.

Cin7: Does Cin7 offer material requirements planning on all plans?

No, material requirements planning is only available on Pro ($599/month) and Advanced ($1,199/month) plans. The Standard plan does not include this feature.

Source
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.
