ContractWorks, now owned by Onit, splits contract management into two clear plans. The Repository plan starts at $425 a month on annual billing and includes up to 50,000 documents, unlimited users and ten e-signature licenses. It covers AI-powered tagging, a smart contract outline, custom fields and tags, highlights and annotations, full-text search with OCR, permission-based roles, automated date alerts, customizable and scheduled reports and an audit log. Premium, from $1,195 a month, turns it into a full CLM with contract drafting and templates, automated document generation, collaborative redlining, clause management, Word import and export, automated approval workflows and SSO. The structure makes sense for teams whose first problem is finding signed contracts and catching deadlines. The weakness is the gap between tiers: anyone who wants approvals or templates jumps nearly threefold in price, which puts Premium above Concord's Business plan.

Who it is for

Companies that want an affordable repository first and may add full CLM later.
