Starting price
Contact sales
Pricing model
custom
G2 rating
4.3 (591 reviews)
PO creation and approval
Requisition to approval to PO generation (reviewer description)
Price / entry cost
Quote only, annual.

Choose it if

  • Mid-size companies that want procurement workflows inside a general workflow platform.
  • Teams that need custom approval flows beyond a fixed P2P template.

Skip it if

  • Buyers who want published pricing.
  • Teams that need deep procurement-specific features out of the box (reviewers cite configuration effort)

Worth knowing

  • G2 rating 4.3 (591 reviews) is for Kissflow overall (BPM category), not the procurement product alone.
  • Annual fixed terms only; no public tier or per-user price.
  • Pricing page states no extra charge for AI or API usage.

Coupa

Enterprise business spend management suite covering procurement, POs, supplier management, sourcing and payments.

Starting price
Contact sales
Pricing model
custom
G2 rating
4.2 (559 reviews)
Pricing transparency
Custom quote only.

Choose it if

  • Large enterprises that need one suite for procure-to-pay, sourcing and supplier risk.
  • Buyers who value a large supplier network (Moody's cites 10 million+ buyers and suppliers on the Coupa network)

Skip it if

  • Small teams: third-party data points to a median contract near $93k per year with 1 to 3 year commitments.
  • Buyers who want public pricing or a fast self-serve start.

Worth knowing

  • Thoma Bravo closed its roughly $8.0B take-private on 2023-02-28; Coupa is no longer listed on Nasdaq.
  • Supplier risk (Risk Assess) came from the 2018 Hiperos acquisition, so it is an acquired module rather than native to the core procurement app.
  • Costbench data shows auto-renewing contracts with a 1 to 3 year minimum and about 23% average negotiated discount, so list price is not the paid price.

Order.co

Procurement and spend platform combining requisitions, PO approvals, AP automation and virtual cards, with AI that can place orders on vendor sites.

Starting price
Contact sales
Pricing model
custom
G2 rating
4.5
Workflow orchestration

AI triage
AI flags exceptions from past purchases; can place orders by logging into vendor portals.
ERP / P2P connectors

Pricing transparency
Demo only.

Choose it if

  • Multi-location operators (coworking, hospitality, fitness, property) buying many small items.
  • Finance teams wanting budget enforcement via virtual cards.

Skip it if

  • Teams wanting published pricing.
  • Companies needing a pure SaaS-buying workflow.

Worth knowing

  • Virtual cards are the budget enforcement mechanism, so spend control is tied to card issuing.
  • AI agents can check out on ecommerce sites or log into vendor portals to place orders.
  • Named customers skew to multi-site operators (WeWork, SoulCycle, CorePower Yoga)

Procurify

Vancouver-based spend management platform built around purchase requests, POs and approvals, now adding AP automation, cards and an AI intake agent.

Starting price
Contact sales
Pricing model
custom (priced by Pro users, products and add-ons)
G2 rating
4.6 (397 reviews)
Request forms
Guided Intake pre-fills compliant order from catalog and spend history.
Workflow orchestration
Approval routing; cross-team logic not detailed.

Not mentioned on Guided Intake page.
AI triage

Choose it if

  • Mid-size companies that need PO and approval control tied to budgets.
  • Finance teams on QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct or Dynamics.
  • Organizations with many occasional requesters (unlimited basic users)

Skip it if

  • Buyers wanting SaaS renewal or license management as the core use.
  • Teams needing published prices (quote only)
  • Heavy sourcing or RFx needs (not verified as a strength)

Worth knowing

  • Pricing is by Pro user; basic users who request and receive goods are unlimited, which suits companies with many casual requesters.
  • Guided Intake (AI order requests) and Contracts are paid add-ons, not part of base Purchasing.
  • Product has widened to AP automation (launched October 2024) and cards, so it is moving from P2P-front-end toward full spend management.

Vertice

Expert-led SaaS negotiation and procurement service backed by a pricing benchmark database, with intake and AI add-ons.

Starting price
$30,000 per year (AWS Marketplace, $250K to $1M spend)

ERP / P2P connectors
Major finance ERPs (vendor claim)

Choose it if

  • Mid-market and enterprise companies with at least $250K annual SaaS spend.
  • Teams that want humans to negotiate renewals.

Skip it if

  • Small companies below roughly $250K SaaS spend.
  • Buyers wanting a self-serve tool without service fees.

Worth knowing

  • Pricing is a flat fee tied to SaaS spend band, starting at $30K (AWS Marketplace), not a percent of savings like many rivals.
  • Vendor claims 20% average savings and guarantees, but terms are not public.
  • Benchmark size claims vary: 32,000+ vendors on one page, 16,000 on others.

When to stay with Tonkean

  • Procurement teams with Coupa, SAP or NetSuite who need an intake layer on top.
  • Teams that want a no-code builder instead of IT projects.
