Free Contract Management Software
Which contract management tools a startup can draft, sign, store and track contracts with for free today, how many contracts and users the free plan allows, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs, read from each provider's own page.
Free allowances read on each provider's own pages, all checked on or after . Contract tools change their free plans from time to time: confirm the terms on the provider's page before you rely on it.
Contract management tools a startup can use for free today include Oneflow (Free plan: unlimited PDF contracts), Contractbook (Free trial, unlimited access), Zoho Contracts (Free plan for up to 3 users), Concord (Free 14-day trial), and ContractWorks (14-day free trial). Each of the 9 free plans below links to the provider's page that states it, with its main limit, its contract and user caps, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs.
Customer agreements, NDAs and supplier contracts pile up fast, and contract management tools keep them drafted, signed, stored and tracked in one place. A few have a free plan; most offer a free trial before a monthly plan.
The headline rarely tells you how far it goes. Free plans cap contracts or users, or cover only signing uploaded PDFs, and approval workflows and AI review are usually paid. Each tool below shows what is free, its main limit, its contract and user caps, whether a card is needed and what the first paid plan costs, quoted from the provider's own page with the date we read it. E-signature tools are compared in our free e-signature guide.
Which tools we picked and the order they appear in are our editorial choices; the terms are the providers'. Some of these providers pay us a referral commission when someone signs up through our link: those links are labeled, and they play no part in which tools are listed or where.

Compare the top options
How this comparison is built
The list covers contract management tools a founder can use for free today without applying to a program. The order and the "best for" notes are our editorial reading of each tool's terms. Every term comes from the tool's own pricing or help page on the date shown, never from a third-party list; follow each link for the full conditions. A cap on contracts or users, e-signatures or approval workflows kept for paid plans, a trial instead of a free plan can matter more than the headline, so the comparison quotes them wherever the provider states them. Some of these tools pay StartupPerks a referral commission, and their links are labeled as referral links; that decides neither whether nor where a tool appears, and no tool pays for a placement on this page.
