What is Concord?
Concord delivers contract management for the 90% of agreements that don't need legal complexity. Founded in 2014, the company serves 1,500+ SMB and mid-market organizations (50-1,000 employees) across North America and Europe from offices in Austin and Paris.
The platform combines contract creation, real-time collaboration, e-signature, and AI-powered review in a single workflow. Business users draft from templates, negotiate in-browser (no more Word attachments), and get AI review in 23 seconds instead of waiting days for legal. Post-signature, automated alerts handle renewals and obligations. Integration with Salesforce, HubSpot, and accounting systems eliminates double-entry.
Concord addresses a simple reality: most contracts are routine business transactions that shouldn't require legal intervention. By enabling sales, procurement, and operations teams to self-serve standard agreements, Concord helps customers to reduce contract cycles.
Languages Supported: All
Concord is deliberately built for SMB/mid-market companies, and removes features that slow contract cycles down, sidestepping consultants, certifications, and 6-figure implementations. Concord states 65% of its customers have no legal team, and that for them, simplicity isn't nice-to-have - it's survival.

Great for SMB
Pros
- Automated templates are incredibly easy to implement. Concord also does, for the most part, very well at keeping formatting when uploading documents in Word. The only downside is if you use formulas (naming convention for contracts), if you do not copy + paste as values before uploading then it will give the contract the name of the formula.
Cons
- User management has been and still is, a pain point for us. We operate over a dozen entities and for the most part, anyone with access to Concord on our team has the same permissions across all entities. We must manage users one-by-one so onboarding + offboarding can be tedious.
- The analytics are basic. I wish we could slice and dice and say "Show me only contracts tagged with X tag".
Return on Investment
- Since our implementation, I am saving a few hours a month in managing our IC contracts.
- When people have questions about contracts, now it's clear "Hey, look in Concord" versus "Hey, does John or Sally have this contract?".
Great Basic Contracting Tool
Pros
- e-signatures (with notifications).
- Templates (upload, create, change).
- Secure storage.
Cons
- For what we use, we do not see any areas that are in need of improvement.
Return on Investment
- Because we are using the free version, there is no overall ROI although it has increased efficiency and customer service.
