  • 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

Proposable

  • CRM integrations, Stripe payments, team collaboration and custom proposal URLs require the $39 per user per month Team plan
  • API access, data export, manager approval and custom integrations are Enterprise only
  • Enterprise starts at $500 per month, a large step up from the per user plans
  • Phone support is Enterprise only; lower plans get email and chat
