Contrakted vs Highwire

Contrakted is a web platform for companies onboarding contractors and managing contracts, paperwork and payments. Guided onboarding collects contractor ID, tax forms and banking details. Teams can create agreements from locally tailored templates, obtain e-signatures and track amendments with redlines and version history. A searchable document vault stores agreements, ID verification, invoices and correspondence; existing contracts and supporting documents can be imported in bulk. Contractors receive a private, branded portal for contracts, files, invoices, payment status, messages and profile details. Teams can approve invoices against contract terms and pay in local currency. Contrakted says its localized agreements and compliance checks support contractors in 150+ countries. The maker lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR-aligned data handling, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and regional data residency options. The Starter plan costs $9 a month, billed monthly per contractor, and includes a 10GB document vault. Growth costs $18 a month, billed monthly per contractor. Each plan has a 14-day free trial with full feature access and no credit card required.

Highwire provides contractor prequalification assessments and field applications for managing risk across capital projects and operations. Its assessments cover more than 60,000 contractors, looking at company, financial, safety, and insurance information. The platform adds contractor-specific risk context and supports ongoing engagement and improvement. Field teams can use the mobile app to record inspections and findings, attach media, and share reports, including when offline. AI analytics examine contractor safety documents for leading-indicator findings. Highwire connects with Procore to link projects and sync approved contract data, though that integration does not support SSO. Clients can also use an API for contractor, project, inspection-finding, and other platform data. The Companion browser extension lets users search contractor profiles and view safety, compliance, and prequalification details from other websites. Highwire supports SAML and OIDC sign-in, and lists ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, PCI DSS, Texas RAMP, and GDPR Data Privacy Framework Program among its audits and certifications. It is available on Android, iOS, web, and as an extension, with an API. There is a free plan and a client free trial.
