What Was Apttus

Apttus was a contract lifecycle management (CLM) and configure-price-quote (CPQ) software company founded in 2006 by Kirk Krappe, Neehar Giri, and Kent Perkocha, headquartered in San Mateo, California.

The company built its products natively on the Salesforce platform and grew into a major quote-to-cash vendor, helping enterprises manage contracts, pricing, quoting, and revenue processes.

Apttus operated largely bootstrapped until 2013, when it raised a 37 million US dollar Series A round from investors including K1 Capital, ICONIQ, and Salesforce.

The Merger with Conga

On May 7, 2020, Apttus announced it was acquiring Conga, another quote-to-cash and document automation vendor, in a deal valued at roughly 715 million US dollars.

Rather than keeping the Apttus name, the combined company chose to operate under the Conga brand, with former Apttus CEO Frank Holland leading the newly unified company.

The merger combined CPQ, CLM, document generation, process automation, and eSignature capabilities under one roof, serving more than 10,000 enterprise and mid-market customers at the time.

Pricing and Current Status

Apttus does not have current, independent pricing because it is no longer sold as a standalone brand; the apttus.com domain now redirects directly to conga.com.

Prospective buyers researching Apttus's former CPQ and CLM products should evaluate Conga's current CPQ and CLM offerings directly, since that is where the underlying technology and support now live.

Historical Apttus pricing followed typical enterprise CPQ/CLM norms (custom, quote-based pricing tied to user counts and modules), but these figures are no longer relevant given the rebrand.
