Why choose Contracko over DocuSign CLM?
DocuSign CLM is an enterprise contract lifecycle management platform designed for large organizations with complex legal teams. Starting at around $60,000+ annually with a 6-12 month implementation timeline, it's built for enterprise scale rather than small business agility. The per-feature pricing model ($39/month per feature) quickly adds up, and users frequently cite poor UI, steep learning curve, and fragmented integration with DocuSign's e-signature product. Small businesses find the enterprise complexity and premium pricing prohibitive for their straightforward contract management needs.
