Concord vs Gatekeeper (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 Gatekeeper if

• Fits if you manage many suppliers and their contracts together
• Makes sense if you want signing included for everyone on the team

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want signatures only, since it is a vendor and contract platform
• Watch out: no price is published, and plans are sized by third-party count
• Tight if you want SSO, SCIM or role-based access, which need Enterprise
• Not for you if you need the MCP connector without Enterprise Plus

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.

Gatekeeper

• No prices are published; Pro, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus plans are sized by third-party count and quoted after a demo.
• Pro covers up to 250 third parties, Enterprise up to 750, and Enterprise Plus more than 750.
• SSO, SCIM and role-based access need Enterprise, and the MCP connector needs Enterprise Plus.
• It is a vendor and contract platform, more than a team that only needs signatures requires.

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.

Gatekeeper

Contract lifecycle management

Contracts, renewals and obligations live on a unified record with vendor due diligence, so each stage feeds the next.

eSign included

The plan comparison lists unlimited eSign licences and senders on every plan, including Pro.

Vendor risk and compliance

Vendor onboarding, risk and compliance checks and performance tracking sit alongside contracts.

Gatekeeper AI agents

AI agents handle administrative work such as intake and renewals, with people kept in control of decisions, per the vendor.
