Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 19 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade
Gatekeeper is a platform that puts vendor records, contracts, compliance checks and spend on one record. Contract management includes eSign, and the pricing page says every plan has unlimited users, contracts and eSign licences. Plans are sized by the number of third parties managed, and prices are quoted after a demo.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Gatekeeper, taken from its own pages and our grades.
SSO and role-based access need Enterprise, and it is more than a team that only needs signatures wants.
- 1
Best for contracts and vendor risk in one platform
Gatekeeper combines contract management, vendor risk and unlimited eSign licences.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Contract lifecycle management
Contracts, renewals and obligations live on a unified record with vendor due diligence, so each stage feeds the next.
- 4
eSign included
The plan comparison lists unlimited eSign licences and senders on every plan, including Pro.

That is against the other e-signature and proposal tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Keep it
To replace Gatekeeper you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for contracts and vendor risk in one platform
Gatekeeper combines contract management, vendor risk and unlimited eSign licences. Plans are sized by third-party count, up to 250, 750 or more, and quoted after a demo. SSO and role-based access need Enterprise, and it is more than a team that only needs signatures wants.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published. Plans are sized by third-party count and quoted after a demo, so it sits in the middle with no evidence either way. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed on its pages or in the listing, so nothing is free. |
| Features | B | Contract lifecycle, included eSign, vendor risk and compliance, AI agents and integrations. No gap in the contract job shows in the listing. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and vendors and contracts have to be loaded first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with NetSuite, Jira and AWS Marketplace listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Gatekeeper is for
- Fits if you manage many suppliers and their contracts together
- Makes sense if you want signing included for everyone on the team
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for

- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Gatekeeper you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Gatekeeper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
