The CL was manufactured 3 years earlier than the A7c which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a complete comparison, below is a simple overview of how the CL scores vs the A7c with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.
