AI-Powered
CLM focus
Contractbook is a CLM for drafting agreements. Zignature is a purpose-built signing platform that uses AI to execute any document—NDAs, vendor contracts, or your own custom templates—in seconds.
Contractbook is built around the idea of data-driven contract creation. While this is powerful for high-volume legal teams drafting new agreements from scratch, it can be a bottleneck for the rest of the business. Most teams already have the documents they need—they just need them signed. Zignature focuses on the execution layer. Our AI-powered platform accepts any file type and automatically prepares it for signature, making it the faster choice for sales, HR, and operations.
Upload any PDF or Word doc. Our AI automatically maps signature lines, initials, and dates for you.
Deep, two-way sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive. Update your CRM the moment a document is signed.

A 45-person Series B SaaS company adopted Contractbook to help their legal team manage employment contracts and vendor agreements. The legal team loved the structured data approach — every agreement was templated, auto-populated from HR system data, and stored in a searchable repository. For internally-generated contracts that followed predictable patterns, Contractbook was excellent.
The problem emerged the moment documents arrived from the outside world. An enterprise prospect sent a 22-page custom MSA as a PDF. A new supplier sent their standard vendor agreement in Word format. A regulatory body required a compliance form in a proprietary PDF format. None of these fit Contractbook's structured contract model. Getting them signed meant either rebuilding the documents inside Contractbook's editor — a 2-3 hour legal project for each — or routing around Contractbook entirely using a separate signing tool.
Their solution was a deliberate split: Contractbook for the 40% of agreements their legal team created internally from scratch, and Zignature for the 60% that arrived as external PDFs needing execution. Zignature's AI field detection scanned each uploaded PDF and placed signature blocks automatically — typically in under 10 seconds even for complex multi-page documents. The Salesforce integration meant every signed agreement automatically attached to the relevant deal record without manual intervention.
The operational impact was immediate. Turnaround time on inbound documents dropped from an average of 3.2 days (time to rebuild in Contractbook + get signed) to 4 hours (upload to Zignature, AI maps fields, send, sign). Their sales team stopped waiting on legal to "translate" external documents into Contractbook format. The legal team retained their structured CLM workflow for internal agreements while operations gained a fast, flexible execution path for everything else.
The cost comparison reinforced the decision: Contractbook Scale at $199/month for 10 legal seats versus Zignature Professional at $29/user/month for 20 operational users. Total annual signing infrastructure cost actually decreased while coverage expanded. The combination of best-of-breed CLM for creation and purpose-built signing for execution proved more capable than either tool alone.
