Pricing
CustomBlackLine does not publish list pricing; all plans are quote-based and negotiated through its sales team. Pricing is subscription-based (monthly or annual, with annual typically discounted) and scales with the number of named user licenses, modules selected, and transaction/entity volume. Third-party benchmarks suggest smaller implementations start in the range of roughly $100-500 per user per month, with typical annual contracts spanning from about $17,500 to $340,000+ depending on company size and module mix; large enterprise deployments (including add-ons like the Intercompany Hub) can run from $50,000 to $200,000+ per year for that module alone. On top of subscription fees, BlackLine typically charges separate one-time implementation, configuration, data migration, and integration fees. There is no free plan or free trial advertised publicly; prospective customers must schedule a demo and request a custom quote.
FreemiumBasic: $0/month, Pro: $49/month, Business: $129/month. Enterprise: Custom pricing. The Basic plan is free forever with 2,000 credits/month.
