Compare
Six punchout catalog providers, compared on pricing model, protocol support and hosting. Only three publish a price at all: StackProcure at $199/month for up to three buyer connections, Punchout Cloud at $399/month for one, and PunchCommerce from €49/month per customer. TradeCentric, Greenwing and PunchoutCatalogs.com quote on request. Most of this market scales cost with the number of buyers you connect — StackProcure and Greenwing do not.

Prices retrieved 6 August 2026 from each provider’s public site. “Not published” means the provider does not list pricing publicly, not that pricing is unavailable — contact them directly. Punchout Cloud offers a 21-day free trial; PunchCommerce offers 30 days. PunchCommerce prices are in EUR, plus VAT where applicable, and its Enterprise tier adds a custom base fee on top of the per-customer rate.

Three pricing models, and why the difference compounds
Per-connection. You pay for each buyer you connect to. Punchout Cloud’s base plan is $399/month and includes one connection, with the subscription increasing for additional connections. PunchCommerce publishes a per-customer rate from €49/month. PunchoutCatalogs.com tells suppliers they can “subscribe to as many or as few connections as you want, according to business needs” — it doesn’t publish what a connection costs.
This is the most common model in punchout, and it has a specific consequence: your integration bill grows every time you win a customer. The supplier who lands three new hospital systems this quarter gets a bigger invoice for succeeding.
Packaged tiers. TradeCentric sells bundles — Basics, Essentials, Essentials Plus, Complete — with pricing quoted per engagement. What’s included and what it costs depends on the negotiation.
Flat. A fixed monthly fee regardless of how many buyers connect. Greenwing charges a one-time setup fee plus a flat monthly management fee. StackProcure publishes $199/month for up to three buyer connections and $499/month for unlimited.
What it costs at scale
Using only published prices.
| Buyer connections | StackProcure | Punchout Cloud | PunchCommerce |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $199/mo | $399/mo | from €49/mo |
| 3 | $199/mo | Not published | from €147/mo |
| 10 | $499/mo | Not published | from €490/mo |
| 25 | $499/mo | Not published | from €1,225/mo |
Punchout Cloud publishes $399/month for a base plan including one connection, and states the subscription increases for additional connections, added features, or new clients; the amount is not published. PunchCommerce figures are its published Business per-customer rate and exclude its optional hosted-catalog add-on (+€50 per customer/month) and per-product overage; its Enterprise tier adds a custom base fee on top of a €44.10 per-customer rate on a 24-month term, so the real Enterprise total is not publicly calculable. TradeCentric, Greenwing and PunchoutCatalogs.com do not publish pricing at any volume.
At ten buyer connections, StackProcure costs $499/month. We can’t tell you what most of the others cost, because they don’t say.
Which one should you choose?
Every one of these is the right answer for someone. Here is who.
Choose TradeCentric if you need breadth above all
TradeCentric states it has integrated with 220+ ERP and eProcurement solutions and 75+ ecommerce platforms, and sells punchout as part of a managed network with a business intelligence portal, session simulation and integration health monitoring. If you’re an enterprise supplier with procurement mandates across dozens of trading partners on systems you’ve never heard of, that catalogue of pre-built connections is worth real money. Budget for an enterprise conversation.
Choose Greenwing if you want a managed service and your catalog lives in spreadsheets
Greenwing takes product data as CSV, Excel or other file formats, handles cXML and OCI, and states compatibility with 100+ eProcurement systems. It charges a one-time setup fee plus a monthly fee for updates and management. It’s a long-established specialist — 14+ years — and the monthly fee doesn’t scale with the number of buyers you connect.
Choose a platform-native connector if you want the least new software
A Coupa or Ariba app, Vroozi, or the Vurbis plugin for OroCommerce — if you already run the platform, have one or two buyers, and want the least new software in your stack. The limit is scope: you’re bound to that platform’s roadmap and its definition of what punchout means.
Choose Punchout Cloud or PunchCommerce if you’re on Shopify or a European platform
Shopify for Punchout Cloud; Shopware or JTL for PunchCommerce. If you have exactly one buyer and want to be live this week, both publish prices and offer trials. Watch the per-connection cost as you add buyers.
Choose StackProcure if you want a flat published price you can see
If you have a handful of named buyers, you want a published flat price that doesn’t grow when you win business, and you’d rather buy a punchout component than join a network. It’s the newest option on this list — and one of only three here that will tell you what it costs without booking a call.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a punchout catalog cost?
Published prices range from $199/month (StackProcure, three buyer connections) to $399/month (Punchout Cloud, one buyer connection). Most providers don’t publish pricing. Setup fees vary widely — some providers charge several thousand dollars, others market punchout with no setup fee at all — so ask about it separately from the monthly rate. The largest cost driver is the pricing model: per-connection pricing grows with each buyer you add, flat pricing doesn’t.
- Do all punchout providers charge per buyer connection?
No. Punchout Cloud, PunchCommerce and PunchoutCatalogs.com all price by connection. Greenwing charges a flat monthly fee plus setup. StackProcure includes unlimited buyer connections at $499/month. TradeCentric sells packaged tiers and does not publish pricing.
- What’s the difference between cXML and OCI?
cXML is the punchout standard used by Coupa, SAP Ariba, Jaggaer and Prendio. OCI is SAP’s own catalog interface. Which one you need is decided by your buyer, not by you — most suppliers need cXML.
The version detail matters more than most vendors admit. “cXML” is not one thing: buyers implement different DTD versions, and often different versions per document type. Jaggaer’s published supplier integration specification conforms to cXML 1.1.010 for punchout while using 1.2 DTDs for OrderRequest and invoicing. Coupa documents 1.2-series DTDs per document type. On the SAP side, SAP SRM adheres to OCI 4.0 and below; OCI 5.0 features require the SRM User Interface Add-On, and OCI 4.0 remains the de facto standard across most of the installed base.
Practical upshot: when a buyer says “we need cXML,” ask which DTD version, for which document types. Getting that answer up front is the difference between a two-week integration and a two-month one.
- How long does punchout take to set up?
Far more depends on your buyer than on your provider. The technical configuration is the fast part. The long pole is buyer-side validation — where their procurement team tests your catalog against their requirements, schedules it against their own queue, and signs it off. That varies enormously by organisation, and no vendor controls it. Implementations that stretch across quarters are almost always waiting on buyer-side process, not code. Be suspicious of any provider who quotes you a firm end-to-end timeline before knowing which buyer is asking.
- Can I run punchout myself instead of buying it?
Yes, and some suppliers do. You’d be implementing cXML message handling, session management, authentication, cart tokenisation and an order receiver — a multi-month protocol project with a long tail of buyer-specific edge cases. It makes sense if punchout is core to your product. For most suppliers it’s several times the cost of renting it for three years.
Methodology
Pricing and capability data was collected on 6 August 2026 from each provider’s public website and re-verified against those sources on 7 August 2026. Where a provider does not publish pricing, the table records “Not published” — we do not estimate. Claims about competitor capabilities are attributed to the provider’s own published statements and linked. This page is maintained by StackProcure, which is one of the providers listed; we’ve tried to describe the others as we’d want ours described, and we’ve said plainly where a competitor is the better choice.
