Opstream vs. Coupa
Procurement teams across industries often turn to Coupa for procurement and spend management. However, as organizations grow, they need a flexible, easy-to-use platform that works across all departments — not just finance and procurement. That’s where Opstream excels.
Opstream doesn’t aim to replace Coupa but can coexist with it, offering a more user-friendly and customizable solution that enhances procurement workflows for all departments. With Opstream, teams can easily manage their procurement processes, customize workflows without costly implementors, and eliminate the need for multiple expensive licenses.
How Opstream Enhances Procurement Beyond Coupa
Coupa is a powerful procurement tool, but it comes with limitations in flexibility and cost. Here’s how Opstream complements or outperforms Coupa in key areas:
- Cross-Functional Usability: Coupa is primarily designed for finance and procurement professionals, making it complex for other departments. Opstream, on the other hand, is intuitive and easy to use across the entire company, allowing IT, marketing, and other departments to participate in procurement without needing specialized training or licenses.
- Customizable Workflows without Implementors: Coupa often requires costly implementors to make changes to workflows, which can slow down the process. Opstream allows users to customize workflows on their own with a drag-and-drop editor, making it easy to adapt as the company evolves — no coding or external help required.
- No Need for Expensive Seat Licenses: Coupa’s license-based pricing can quickly become expensive as more users are added. With Opstream, there’s no need to pay per seat. Opstream’s pricing is designed to scale with your procurement needs, making it far more cost-effective for growing teams.
- ERP Integration: Opstream integrates with your existing ERP systems (like Netsuite or Workday), offering flexibility and scalability without requiring costly modifications to your ERP.
Opstream’s Key Benefits
1. Flexibility to Coexist with Coupa
If your organization already uses Coupa for procurement, Opstream can seamlessly integrate with it to enhance your workflows. Opstream works across departments to orchestrate procurement processes beyond finance and procurement, creating a unified experience for the entire organization.
2. User-Friendly for the Entire Company

3. Customizable Workflows without Extra Fees
Opstream empowers users to customize workflows with a simple drag-and-drop editor. Unlike Coupa, which requires external implementors to make changes, Opstream allows you to adapt workflows as your organization’s needs evolve — without additional costs or delays.
4. Cost-Effective, Scalable Pricing
