ContractWorks vs LinkSquares

ContractWorks is a cloud-based repository for storing, searching and tracking agreements. Its AI can identify details such as agreement type, parties, effective dates, renewal terms and notice windows; OCR and advanced search help locate contract information. Users can schedule custom reports and receive alerts about important dates. Built-in electronic signatures let recipients sign without a ContractWorks license or login. Administrators can assign permissions to invited users, and audit reports record users, dates, times and actions. ContractWorks says it is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and uses 256-bit encryption for data in transit and at rest. It says its AWS data centers store information in multiple locations in the United States and European Union, with encrypted hourly backups. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Fujitsu ScanSnap and SAML 2.0 single sign-on. Standard costs $600 a month, billed annually, and includes unlimited users, 2,500 documents and five e-signature licenses. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

LinkSquares is a cloud-based AI contract management platform supporting work from intake and review through execution, analysis, and renewal. Its Analyze product stores contracts in a central repository, organizes them with AI, and extracts data for search and reporting. Smart Values can extract more than 100 pieces of contract metadata, while OCR turns scanned PDFs, faxes, and document photographs into searchable text. For drafting and approvals, LinkSquares offers customizable templates, a Clause Library, and automated approval workflows. Its AI Legal Assistant can answer legal questions with citations, apply playbook-based redlines, draft agreements and amendments, and analyze multiple agreements; account activation is required, and it can analyze up to five selected agreements at a time.

It is available on web, macOS, Windows, and by API, with integrations including Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Word, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Google Drive, SharePoint, and others.
