Clarus CFO vs Verian Contracts

Clarus CFO is cloud software for tracking software spend, contracts, usage and renewals, as well as reconciling purchasing records. It compares purchase orders, vendor invoices and contracts, flagging price drift, vendor mismatches and missing contracts. Renewal tracking draws on contract dates and recurring charges, with alerts set 30, 60 or 90 days ahead and recommendations to cancel, renegotiate or downgrade. Negotiation drafts can cite usage changes and termination clauses, but require approver review before an email is sent. Connected integrations are read-only; actions such as subscription cancellation also need explicit approval. Data can come from accounting and identity connections, linked card statements, CSV uploads and, optionally, Clarus CLM contract data. Policy text can become executable approval, retention and documentation rules tied to evidence. Security details include tenant-level row security, encrypted credentials, TLS 1.2+ in transit, role-based access and per-action audit logs. The product is in Early Access, with partner onboarding and waitlist invitations as tiers open. It has no free plan, but lists a 60-day trial. Flat is listed at $79/vendor/mo billed annually, with a 10-vendor minimum; pricing is otherwise tier-specific.

Verian Contracts is contract intelligence software for capital projects. It extracts clauses, maps obligations and deadlines, and drafts contract correspondence. The product supports FIDIC, NEC4, JCT, AIA and bespoke contracts, and can process PDF, Word and scanned documents using OCR. Its analysis categorizes obligations and identifies conflicts or gaps across contracts. A timeline tracks approaching or at-risk obligations and sends alerts. AI can draft notices, responses and claims correspondence with clause references, with exports to Word, PDF or email. For claims, it combines schedule, cost and contractual evidence into packages with an audit trail. Listed connections include Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Excel, CSV, Outlook, Gmail, Teams channels and a Power BI feed; ERP connectors are designed for SAP, Oracle JD Edwards and other ERPs. Verian says customer data is hosted on Microsoft Azure, isolated between organisations, encrypted in transit and at rest, and not used to train its models. It does not currently hold SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001 or another security certification. Licensing is per project, scoped to portfolio and selected capabilities, with pricing on request.
