Why choose Contracko over ContractWorks?
ContractWorks is a contract repository focused primarily on storage and search with unlimited users. Recently acquired by Onit, which introduces uncertainty about future product direction. Pricing ranges from $399 to $2,000/month with document limits on lower tiers (2,500-10,000 documents) and restricted e-signature licenses (5-10 licenses). Additional e-signature packs cost $1,200/year per 5 licenses, and annual commitments are required. The platform is limited to storage and repository functions - there's no workflow automation, in-platform editing, or native e-signature. Businesses seeking full contract lifecycle features must upgrade to premium tiers, significantly increasing costs.

Explore more comparisons
See how other CLM platforms stack up against each other.
ContractWorks vs Ironclad
ContractWorks offers simpler contract management than Ironclad, but still charges per-user fees and lacks modern AI capabilities that small businesses increasingly expect from their CLM tools.
ContractWorks vs PandaDoc
ContractWorks provides contract repository features while PandaDoc focuses on proposal creation. Both charge per-user fees and lack comprehensive AI-powered contract analysis for post-signature management.
ContractWorks vs Concord
ContractWorks and Concord both target mid-market teams but approach pricing differently. Both still charge per-user fees and lack the modern AI capabilities that make contract management truly effortless.
Airtable vs ContractWorks
Airtable allows DIY contract tracking while ContractWorks offers purpose-built CLM. However, Airtable requires manual setup and ContractWorks charges per-user fees, leaving teams wanting simpler, more affordable options.
ContractSafe vs ContractWorks
ContractSafe and ContractWorks both focus on simple contract storage and search. However, ContractSafe's volume-based pricing can penalize growth, while ContractWorks charges per-user fees that add up for larger teams.
Trackado vs ContractWorks
Trackado offers an affordable entry point for European businesses, while ContractWorks provides a more robust US-centric repository. Both platforms impose limits—Trackado on contracts/users and ContractWorks on features—that growing teams often find restrictive.
