OpenCLM
What it is
OpenCLM is a contract lifecycle management platform with contract templates, approval workflows, renewal tracking, e-signatures, and API access. Its searchable repository includes rich-text editing, version history, and metadata. Approval workflows can run in sequence or in parallel, with routing, escalation, and notifications. The interface supports six languages, and the platform provides 12 pre-configured roles with granular resource-level permissions. OpenCLM is released under the AGPL v3 license with complete source access; its full platform can be self-hosted without licensing fees. The Free plan is free for one user, unlimited contracts, and five e-signatures per month. Professional is listed at $49 a month and includes a 14-day trial; annual billing is listed as saving 20%, and Professional is also listed at $2,390 per year. Teams is $649 a month for up to 25 users. Self-hosted paid options include Professional at $199 a month and Teams at $519 a month. Professional lists Slack and Salesforce integrations, and OpenSign provides e-signatures. Support ranges from community options to priority and dedicated support.
