Concord
Contract management with built-in e-signatures and AI review
Which one is for you
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 Icertis if
- Fits if you run contracts across a large company with SAP or Workday
- Makes sense if you want AI agents working inside contract data
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sign documents, as signing is through other vendors' adapters
- Watch out: there is no pricing page, only demo requests
- Not for you if you are a small team, since it targets large organisations
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, because only a cloud platform is described

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
