  • Pricing is handled case by case through sales rather than through published tiers
  • Conga's CPQ product is now branded Advantage CPQ and is positioned as an integration on top of an existing CRM, so a Salesforce or equivalent CRM licence is required separately

  • Data retention limited to maximum 26 months on standard properties, with automatic deletion after retention period expires
  • Large and XL properties capped at 2-month data retention only
  • Age, gender, and interest data always expire after 2 months regardless of retention settings
  • Free tier does not include GA360 advanced features
