The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Visibility no price, licensing model, minimum or contract term is published on the site; buyers are directed to a sales email and phone number
  • They diverge on capability: Icertis covers Clause library and templates, Visibility covers Supply chain visibility.
  • 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.

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.

Visibility

  • No price, licensing model, minimum or contract term is published on the site; buyers are directed to a sales email and phone number
  • The vendor states an implementation of 4 to 6 months, so the product is not usable immediately after purchase
  • The product targets make to order, engineer to order and job shop manufacturers rather than general business use

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Visibility: Does Visibility publish pricing on their website?

No, Visibility does not disclose subscription costs or pricing tiers on their website. Interested parties must contact sales directly.

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.

Visibility: How do I get a Visibility quote?

Visibility directs interested parties to contact sales at [email protected] or (978) 269-6500, or to request a demo through their website.

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.

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.
