Zoho Sign is an affordable, easy signing tool that fits neatly into the Zoho ecosystem and offers broad eIDAS coverage through partner QTSPs. It is a signing product, not a contract manager: no AI reads the contract, and there is no obligation or renewal tracking once it is signed. Contracko adds the AI management layer (analysis, extraction, a searchable repository, and calendar-synced reminders) over its own simple eIDAS e-signature. ## Feature comparison See how Contracko and Zoho Sign compare across key contract management features. | Feature | Contracko | Zoho Sign | | --- | --- | --- | | AI assistant Ask questions across your contract portfolio and surface what needs attention first | Clara AI included | No | | AI contract review Summaries, obligations, risks, and key clauses | Included | No | | AI contract extraction Extract structured data without manual entry | Included | No | | Expiration reminders Never miss a critical contract date | Automated | Yes | | Contract repository Centralized storage for all contracts | Unlimited | Yes | | Users included Each plan includes a clear bundled user allowance alongside contract capacity, so pricing stays easier to reason about as your team grows. | Users included | Per-user pricing | | E-signature Request signatures natively with signing order and a full audit trail, or bring completed signatures in from external e-signature tools through Zapier and the API. | Native + Zapier | Native | | Contract management API Automate intake, metadata sync, and contract lifecycle workflows | Available | Native | | Single sign-on SAML/OIDC support for teams with enterprise identity needs | Big Business | Native | | Implementation time Time to get started | 5 minutes | Immediate (Self-serve) | | Price Monthly cost | $75-595/mo | $10+/mo | | Free trial Trial without credit card | 7 days | Yes | Feature info is gathered from Zoho Sign's website and third-party reviews.
