The Conga Alternative
Conga gives you a template and a blank page. waxTable writes and designs the finished proposal for this client, on your brand, in about five minutes.
Conga is an enterprise CPQ, contract lifecycle and document generation platform, and a good one. waxTable is a different tool for the same job: instead of giving you a template to fill in, it writes and designs the finished document for each client — from a brief, or from the client's own email — and prices per document rather than per seat.
Switch to waxTable if
- Writing the proposal is the bottleneck, not sending or signing it.
- You want documents that look like your studio, not like a template library.
- Your team is small enough that per-seat pricing is money spent on read-only access.
Stay on Conga if
- You are generating thousands of data-merged contracts from CRM records.
- Redlining, clause libraries and negotiation governance are the requirement.
- You need a platform your legal and procurement teams will sign off on.

Conga plans
Custom quote only — no public pricing. None — demo and sales contact only. No free plan. Their pricing page carries no tiers, features or figures at all — a headline, six pricing principles and enterprise logos. Sold per module (Composer, Sign, CPQ, CLM, Billing).
waxTable
Current plans and prices are on the pricing page — plans are managed live, so that page is always the authority, not this table.
Conga plan names and prices were read from their own pricing page on 9 August 2026 and are shown as published on that date — check before relying on them. Conga publishes its own pricing here. Both billing terms are shown because every vendor on this list defaults its pricing page to the cheaper annual figure.
What a five-person team pays
Five people, of whom two actually write proposals and three need to read, comment or approve them. Conga is shown at its cheapest published rate for a team that size — a comparison that quotes someone's most expensive plan is not worth reading.
Conga
waxTable — Pro
waxTable Pro is quoted, not Basic: Basic is a single seat, and setting its $5 / month against five of theirs would be the rigged comparison this page exists to avoid. Pro covers 5 team members, 20 projects and 2,400 credits a month — roughly 25–40 documents. Figures are the published rates on 9 August 2026; both sides have extras this ignores. The shape of it is that per-seat pricing charges you for people who only read the document, and per-credit pricing charges you for documents.
Why teams move off Conga
You still write it
There is no published price anywhere — every conversation starts with sales.
It looks like the tool
It is sold per module, so the tool you want tends to arrive with three others.
What it costs you
It assembles documents from CRM data and templates; it does not write one from a brief.
Where Conga is still the better choice
enterprise contract lifecycle management and CPQ at genuine scale, wired into Salesforce, Dynamics, SAP and Oracle, with the governance, redlining and negotiation AI that regulated, high-volume contracting needs. waxTable is not in this category and does not try to be.
Moving from Conga
Keep sending from Conga
Nothing has to be migrated on day one. Run the next proposal through both and compare the output — that is the only test that settles it.
Point us at your website
waxTable reads your site at signup for colours, fonts, logo and tone, so the first document already looks like you. There is no template to rebuild.
Send one real brief
Describe a live job, or forward the client's email. You get a written, priced, designed document back in about five minutes for a few cents.
Move when it wins, not before
Your Conga content is not stranded — export what you want to keep and paste it in. Most people find they do not, because the point is not to reuse the old text.
Questions, answered
Is waxTable a good Conga alternative?
If the slow part of your week is writing the proposal, yes. Conga is an enterprise CPQ, contract lifecycle and document generation platform, and it gives you a template to fill in. waxTable writes and designs the finished document for each client — from a short brief, or from the client's own email — in about five minutes. If instead your bottleneck is signature routing or CRM sync, Conga is the better tool and this page says so plainly.
How is waxTable different from Conga?
Three structural differences, none of which are features you could add later. You start from a finished draft rather than a blank template. The document is designed around your own brand, learned from your website, rather than poured into a template layout. And it is priced per document rather than per seat, so colleagues who only read or approve cost nothing.
Is waxTable cheaper than Conga?
For a small team, usually — and the reason is the pricing model, not a discount. custom quote only — no public pricing charges for everyone with access; waxTable charges for documents. Paid plans start at USD 5 per month billed annually. The worked example on this page does the arithmetic for a five-person team.
Can I move my Conga content across?
You can paste anything you want to keep, but most people find they do not need to. The point is not to reuse the old text — waxTable writes each document for the specific client and job, so a library of saved paragraphs is the thing it replaces rather than the thing it imports.
What does Conga do better than waxTable?
enterprise contract lifecycle management and CPQ at genuine scale, wired into Salesforce, Dynamics, SAP and Oracle, with the governance, redlining and negotiation AI that regulated, high-volume contracting needs. waxTable is not in this category and does not try to be.
