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 LinkSquares if

  • Fits if you have a legal team that searches old contracts for terms
  • Makes sense if you already use DocuSign or Adobe Sign

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want signing alone, since it is a contract management suite
  • Watch out: no price is published
  • Watch out: onboarding, custom integrations and some advanced features change the price
  • Pricey if you need a separate signing subscription on top, as signing runs through DocuSign or Adobe Sign

  • 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.

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.
