Buyers look beyond DealHub when they want a price they can read before a sales call, when add-ons such as e-signature and ERP connectors push the total up, or when their products need deep configuration rather than subscription quoting. Alternatives split between configurators for manufacturers, CRM-native quoting and simple price-list tools.
Short answer: The first three alternatives to DealHub in our CPQ ranking are Elfsquad, QuoteWerks and Experlogix CPQ. Where a category has smaller vendors worth recommending, they occupy the first three places and the big brands come below them. Choose Elfsquad if your products are built to order and you want a fixed implementation fee. The 11 entries that follow are all ranked in Best CPQ Software in 2026; each one explains what sets it apart from DealHub.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Quoted per organisation on two tiers (Growth and Scale), annual subscription
Established in: United States
Built for: Software and service companies quoting subscriptions with approval steps
Not for: Machine builders with interacting engineering constraints
01
Why buyers look past DealHub
01
The price is behind a request form
The pricing page names two tiers, Growth and Scale, and offers only a Request Pricing button. It shows no amounts, no user limits and no trial, only demos and expert calls. A team comparing suppliers cannot place DealHub in a budget until a sales conversation has happened.
02
Several connectors are sold on top
DealHub says CPQ is included in both plans, yet DocuSign and ERP connectors are paid add-ons, and Headless API quoting is the one paid add-on within the platform. Order-based invoicing, credit memos and revenue recognition sit in Scale. The final bill depends on which of these you need.
03
Built around subscription deals
The pricebook handles usage-based, tiered and fixed pricing, renewals, co-terms and amendments. That suits software and services. A maker whose machines have thousands of valid option combinations needs a constraint engine, and the platform page does not claim one.

What each one does differently

Elfsquad
Netherlands · On request
Elfsquad, from Drachten, targets makers whose products are configured to order. One licence covers unlimited users and implementation is sold at a fixed fee, which closes off the open-ended services bill. Business users maintain the rules. It is a smaller company than Tacton, ERP links need care, and it does not quote subscriptions.
Switch from DealHub if your products are built to order and you want a fixed implementation fee.
QuoteWerks is the plain option: a price list, distributor integrations and published rates of 50, 78 or 102 dollars per concurrent user a month for the web edition. Several people can share one licence if they quote at different times. A Windows desktop edition still exists, and there is no rules engine of note.
Switch from DealHub if you are a reseller with a catalogue and want a published price.
Experlogix lets the admin who looks after your CRM maintain product rules in a grid instead of in code. It is a US vendor, licensed per organisation in seat bands. Without Dynamics 365 or Salesforce underneath it has no front end, and document generation is licensed separately.
Switch from DealHub if your sales team lives in Dynamics 365 or Salesforce and an admin owns the rules.
Sofon CPQ comes from Eindhoven and has two decades of machine-builder quotations behind it, with a question-and-answer flow a non-technical seller can follow. Since 2021 it belongs to the American group Revalize. Implementation runs through the vendor, and the interface looks older than newer tools.
Switch from DealHub if you quote machinery and want a guided question flow from a Dutch product.
Encoway, based in Bremen and part of the Lenze group, maintains product rules once in CPQ Studio and uses them both for the internal quote and for a public configurator on your site. Licences are modular. It is a DACH product with DACH partners, so support is thinner elsewhere.
Switch from DealHub if you want one rule set behind both the sales quote and a website configurator.
camos CPQ is common inside German mechanical engineering firms and handles variant depth that lighter tools give up on. The cost is a modelling project, normally with camos consultants, and a trained product modeller to keep rules current. A Compact edition shortens the start. Offices are in Stuttgart and Braunschweig.
Switch from DealHub if your variants are deep and you can staff a product modeller.
Tacton rejects any combination engineering cannot produce, which makes it the strongest engine when constraints interact. Pricing is annual and quoted, aimed at large manufacturers, so a firm quoting few machines a year will struggle to earn it back, and implementation is a services project by Tacton or a partner. It is co-headquartered in Stockholm and Chicago.
Switch from DealHub if you build complex engineered products and quote many of them each year.
Conga puts the quote, the document and the signed contract with one supplier. It sells Advantage CPQ, native to Salesforce, and Smart CPQ, the former PROS product that also runs with Dynamics and SAP. Implementations are partner-led and the licence model favours the whole suite.
Switch from DealHub if you want quote, document and contract from a single supplier.
Salesforce Revenue Cloud lists 150 dollars (Growth) or 200 dollars (Advanced) per user per month, billed annually, as an add-on to Sales Cloud. Account and product data already sit in the Salesforce org, so one integration disappears. The line has been repackaged before and configuration is partner-priced.
Switch from DealHub if you run Salesforce and want billing-ready quoting inside the same org.
Oracle CPQ publishes a list price of 240 dollars per named user per month, with a 25-user minimum and a three-year initial term. It copes with large catalogues, subscription pricing and approval chains and connects to Salesforce. It usually arrives inside a wider Oracle agreement with an integrator doing the work.
Switch from DealHub if you need large catalogues and approval chains and already buy from Oracle.
Epicor CPQ, formerly KBMax, shows the buyer a visual configuration and lets the factory get a drawing from the same rules. Logic is written in Snap, a drag-and-drop visual language, so it is not text code but still programming. The roadmap leans towards Epicor ERP customers.
Switch from DealHub if buyers must see the product as they configure it and production needs drawings.
You build to order and want a fixed implementation fee
Elfsquad: One licence with unlimited users and implementation at a fixed fee, from Drachten.

04
You want quote, document and contract from one supplier
Conga CPQ: Advantage CPQ runs natively in Salesforce and Smart CPQ also works with Dynamics and SAP.
05

Tacton CPQ: The engine blocks combinations engineering cannot produce; pricing is annual and quoted.
04
When DealHub is still the right choice
DealHub stays the better fit when a revenue operations person wants to configure quoting without a partner and sell subscriptions. The platform page lists adaptive pricebooks, renewals and co-terms, parallel approvals, contracts with a clause library and native Salesforce, Dynamics 365 and HubSpot integrations. It also says deployment can take weeks, depending on catalogue and integrations.
05
What moving off DealHub involves
01
Pricing rules need a rebuild
Pricebooks, bundles and discount thresholds live in DealHub's own configuration. Export the product catalogue and write the approval matrix down in plain language first, so it can be rebuilt in the new tool without guessing.
02
Running quotes and renewals are the tricky part
Open quotes, co-termed contracts and amendments carry history. Decide a cutover date, finish or re-issue open quotes, and check how the new tool represents renewals before the next renewal cycle arrives.
03
Connectors have to be re-bought or rebuilt
DocuSign and ERP connectors are paid add-ons at DealHub. Check what the new supplier charges for signature and ERP links, and whether your CRM integration is native or built through its API.
