Pilot: ❓ Structured pilot process requiring technical setup and configurationImplementation Timeline: ❓ Typically 1-3 months depending on complexity of implementation

If you do go down the sales process (not self-serve) then most want a quick and tailored pilot, followed by rapid implementation.

❓ Subscription-based with tiered pricing based on users and features, starting from approximately €4,000-€8,000 annually for basic implementations

Subscription fees, usage limits, and additional costs for accessing and using the platform's features.

Self-serve: ❓ No immediate self-serve option; requires setup and configurationSales: ❓ Typically 1-3 months from purchase to full implementation

Self-serve caters to those who want to 'try before they buy' and don't enjoy the sales process.

❓ Steep learning curve, complex setup process, and technical expertise required

A collection of verified 3rd-party customer reviews documenting any known technical issues.

❓ Metrics focus on time savings for repetitive document creation rather than overall contract lifecycle

Look for firm metrics, tied to the specific tasks you're looking to drive efficiencies within.
