Concord vs ContractWorks (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Concord if

• Fits if you run contracts for a company and want drafting, negotiation and signing in one place
• Works for a team of five or more that signs a lot of contracts and wants unlimited signatures on a flat fee

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you just need to sign the odd document, as the cheapest plan is $499 a month
• Pricey if you add people: every seat past 5 costs $49, $69 or $89 a month
• Tight if you want approval workflows or custom roles, which need Business at $899 a month
• Not for you if you need bulk send, a clause library or the API, all Enterprise at $1299 a month
• Watch out: there's no free plan, and the trial length isn't stated

Pick ContractWorks if

• Fits if you have a pile of signed contracts and need renewal alerts
• Makes sense if you want a few people signing and everyone else just looking

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you only need signatures, as the plans start at $425 a month
• Tight if you grow past 1,000 documents, where the next capacity step is 10,000
• Skip it if you need drafting or redlining, because those are on Premium from $1,195 a month
• Not for you if you want a phone app or integrations, as neither is listed

Concord

• The cheapest plan is $499 a month billed annually, so it is far above per-signature e-signature tools.
• Each plan includes 5 users; extra users cost $49, $69 or $89 a month depending on the plan.
• Approval workflows, intake forms and custom roles need Business at $899 a month; bulk send, the clause library and the open API need Enterprise at $1299 a month.
• The pricing page lists no free plan, and every plan's button leads to a demo booking.

ContractWorks

• The $425 starting price covers 1,000 documents; larger capacity tiers exist at 10,000 and 50,000 documents.
• Drafting, redlining and approval workflows need Premium, which is sold through sales.
• The Repository plan includes 10 eSignature licenses; Premium licenses are set per quote.
• The vendor lists no mobile app, only web access.

Concord

Unlimited e-signatures

Signing is built into the contract workflow, and all three plans include unlimited e-signatures and unlimited documents.

AI review and extraction

An AI copilot reads contracts, explains risks and obligations and suggests edits. Extraction pulls key terms into the contract record.

Negotiation and collaboration

Redlining, version control and comments sit in a Word-style editor, with free viewers and guests so outside parties can take part.

Intake and approvals

Business teams can request contracts through intake forms and route them through approval workflows. Both start on the Business plan.

Deadlines and reporting

Deadline reminders and amendment management are on every plan. Customized reports start on the Business plan.

Clause library and bulk send

Enterprise adds a clause library, subsidiary management and bulk sending, along with the open API.

ContractWorks

Contract repository

Contracts are stored in one searchable place with full-text search, OCR, custom fields and tags, annotations and permission-based roles.

AI tagging

AI picks out details such as agreement type, parties, effective dates, renewal terms and notice windows when a contract is uploaded.

Date alerts and reports

Automated alerts track renewals, expirations and notice periods, and reports can be customized and scheduled.

Built-in eSignature

Documents can be sent, signed and filed from within the system. Every Repository plan includes 10 eSignature licenses.

Drafting and approvals

Premium adds templates, automated document generation, collaborative redlining with Word import and export, and approval workflows.
