Elastly vs Zilliant CPQ

Elastly is an AI pricing platform for retailers, manufacturers, and distributors. It recommends prices using costs, demand, competitor data, and each product’s sales history, then recalculates as those conditions change. Recommendations show contributing factors such as elasticity, competitor moves, inventory, and seasonality. Teams can review proposed prices and set automation rules, margin floors and ceilings, and limits on price changes. Approved prices can be sent to sales channels automatically; Elastly says they can go live in under 60 seconds after approval. Native connectors include Shopify, Salla, SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce, Amazon, and Walmart. Developers can use a REST API, webhooks, and SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, and Go. The platform is available on the web and through an API. A 3-day free trial requires no card, and the site says first recommendations are available within 48 hours. Paid pricing is listed from $41/mo (annual). Growth includes two connectors and manual approval; Scale adds unlimited connectors and auto-apply within guardrails. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Zilliant CPQ is cloud-based quoting software for manufacturers and distributors managing complex products and pricing. It applies pricing strategy, margin targets and business rules during each quote, while configuration rules guide complex product choices to reduce errors and guesswork. Pricing logic, discounts and agreements are enforced in real time, and generated quotes reflect policy, margin targets and customer context. Workflow guardrails send only true exceptions for escalation. The product is available through web and API platforms and includes configuration rules, discount approvals, constraint modeling and scenario simulation.
