# Coupa vs Procurify for a mid-size company that wants procurement software without a six-figure implementation bill?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">This is a comparison I see mid-size teams wrestle with, so I went into the switching data and mid-market reviews in my <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/purchasing-software">purchasing software</a> research. Quick read on the two named tools, plus two lighter alternatives worth a look.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/coupa-software-coupa/reviews"><strong>Coupa</strong></a>: reviewers describe enterprise-scale capability, but with a go-live that can run past 12 months and a heavier implementation, which is where the big-ticket cost concern usually comes from.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/procurify/reviews"><strong>Procurify</strong></a>: reviewers position it as built for mid-market, with self-managed setup and approvals a finance team stands up without a large implementation project.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/precoro/reviews"><strong>Precoro</strong></a>: reviewers highlight onboarding without IT and pricing they call competitive for the functionality, a fit for mid-size teams avoiding a heavy build.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/vertice/reviews"><strong>Vertice</strong></a>: reviewers point to a no-code approval setup and negotiation help, a lighter path to savings without a long configuration effort.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone who weighed Coupa against a lighter tool: did the enterprise depth justify the implementation cost at mid-size, or did you get most of the value from something leaner? And for Procurify users, how long did your setup actually take?</p>

We went through this exact debate. Coupa kept coming up in our research but every time we dug into what implementation actually looked like, it felt like a 12-18 month project with a systems integrator, which just wasn&#39;t realistic for us. Ended up going with something lighter and yeah we gave up some features, but we were actually live and using it in a few months instead of still being in &quot;phase 1.&quot; For a lot of mid-size teams the opportunity cost of a long implementation is just as real as the dollar cost.
