In the competitive world of life sciences, selecting the right CRM platform is a decision that can significantly impact your business’s efficiency, scalability, and bottom line. Beyond a CRM system’s features and functionality, understanding its Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over an extended period is crucial. Let’s dive into a detailed comparison between Exeevo and Veeva, not just in terms of cost but also in terms of the features and functionalities they offer. This will give you a comprehensive view of how Exeevo can deliver substantial savings without compromising quality or performance.

The cost of CRM systems can be significant for life sciences organizations operating globally, especially considering the total cost over multiple years. A side-by-side comparison of Exeevo and Veeva shows that Exeevo offers a more economical solution, saving life sciences organizations over $11.5 million over three years.
Exeevo and Veeva Annual Licensing Costs: A Closer Look
• Exeevo CRM: $4,2 million per year
• Veeva Vault CRM: $7,2 million per year
At first glance, the difference in annual licensing costs between Exeevo and Veeva is striking. Veeva’s yearly license cost is nearly twice that of Exeevo, making Exeevo a far more cost-effective choice.
This difference becomes even more significant when spread across a three-year period, where Exeevo’s total licensing cost amounts to $14.1 million, compared to Veeva’s $25.6 million based on 5500 global users and a standard migration.
Per User Per Month (PUPM) Costs
- Exeevo: $78.33 PUPM
- Veeva: $142.22 PUPM
Another critical metric for organizations with large user numbers is the per-user per-month cost. At $78.33 PUPM, Exeevo offers a more affordable rate than Veeva, which charges $142.22 PUPM. Reducing per-user costs can result in significant savings, especially for organizations with a large or growing user base.
Licensing and Migration Costs: A Comprehensive Breakdown
While licensing costs are a significant part of the TCO, migration costs can contribute significantly to the overall expense, especially when transitioning from one platform to another. Let’s take a closer look at these costs. Remember, with Veeva no longer able to rely on Salesforce functionality, pharma organizations will have to migrate.
Average One-Time Migration Costs:
- Exeevo $1,500,000
- Veeva $4,000,000
Migration is often one of the most challenging and costly aspects of implementing a new CRM system. Veeva’s one-time migration cost is estimated at $4 million, a considerable investment. In contrast, Exeevo standard migration costs only $1.5 million, offering a more budget-friendly option that ensures a smooth transition without cutting corners.
Total 3-Year TCO:
- Exeevo $14,100,000
- Veeva $25,600,000
When you combine the licensing and migration costs over three years, Exeevo’s total cost is $14.1 million, which is $11.5 million less than Veeva’s total cost of $25.6 million. This substantial difference in TCO highlights how Exeevo reduces immediate costs and offers long-term financial benefits.
These savings can profoundly impact your organization’s budget, whether you’re a start-up or an enterprise.
Veeva Controls Data and Data Metering Fees are Coming
Veeva not only shares, sells, and accesses pharma organization data, raising significant privacy concerns, but they also use it to build their platforms. Coming soon, they, like Salesforce, plan to introduce data metering charges, further impacting their customers’ bottom lines.
Data metering charges are fees based on the volume of data processed, accessed, or stored within the platform, and this upcoming change is poised to significantly inflate operational costs. As businesses grow and data usage increases, these charges will escalate, leading to unexpected budget spikes that can push overall costs through the roof. This move places an additional financial burden on customers who are concerned about data privacy and transparency.
Did you know that Exeevo’s platform is built not to be able to access data? Data is securely stored on each customer’s Microsoft cloud.
