Why choose Contracko over Summize?
Summize is an embedded CLM platform that works within existing tools like Outlook and Teams, earning perfect 5.0/5.0 customer support ratings and 28 G2 awards in 2025. However, it requires custom pricing quotes with no public pricing transparency, creating friction for businesses that want to see costs upfront. Users consistently cite repository limitations as the weakest feature - you can only create one main folder with no subfolder nesting, making organization difficult as contract volume grows. Template creation requires manual spacing and alignment work, and you cannot save dropdown options across multiple templates. While integrations are strong, key tools like Power BI are missing, and Salesforce integration doesn't push contract data back to opportunities. For businesses that value pricing transparency and need flexible repository organization, these limitations add unnecessary complexity.
