Greenly vs IBM Envizi
ESG & sustainability head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Quote-based | Volume-based (Accounts) |

| Vendor | Greenly | IBM |
Our take
Where Greenly leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 18 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by emission factor library and activity-based and spend-based calculation).
- Stated Sage Intacct integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where IBM Envizi leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by financed / portfolio emissions and utility bill / meter data processing).
Where they differ
The 30 capabilities (of 59 in the ESG & sustainability taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
