Why choose Contracko over ContractZen?
ContractZen is a highly specialized platform combining contract management, board portals, virtual data rooms (VDR), and legal entity management in one solution. While offering affordable per-user pricing ($9.50-$27/user/month) with unlimited documents and a 4.7/5 Capterra rating, the platform's broad focus on board governance and entity management features may be overkill for businesses seeking simple contract management. The Advanced tier requires a minimum of 5 users, and additional VDR features cost $9.80-$49/month extra. The per-user pricing model scales costs with team growth, and most small businesses don't need the specialized board portal and entity management features. Companies seeking dedicated contract lifecycle management without the governance and VDR complexity find ContractZen's specialized approach unnecessarily complicated and costly.
