The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Ecount mobile app provides only essential features, not full desktop functionality; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: Ecount covers Financial management, Jaggaer covers Supplier management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Ecount

  • Mobile app provides only essential features, not full desktop functionality
  • Complex navigation and setup requiring time investment and sometimes expert assistance

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

Ecount: What is the pricing for Ecount ERP?

Ecount ERP costs $55 per month with unlimited users included. All features and unlimited users are available at this single tier, with no additional per-user fees.

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.

Ecount: What platforms does Ecount support?

Ecount ERP is 100% web-based and cloud-based, accessible via Chrome, Edge, Safari and other browsers on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android without software installation.

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.

Ecount: Does Ecount offer integrations with other business systems?

Yes. Ecount integrates with 400+ business applications including payment systems, ecommerce platforms (eBay, Shopee, Lazada), shipping solutions, and custom systems via Open API.

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.

Ecount: What support does Ecount provide?

Ecount offers 24/7 customer support, on-site training, and video resources. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001 certified for security.

Source
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.

Ecount: How long is the typical implementation time for Ecount?

Implementation varies but typically requires significant time investment for data migration from previous systems. Expert assistance may be needed depending on system complexity and customization needs.
