Why choose SpotDraft over Ironclad?

Here are 6 compelling reasons.

User-interface

Ironclad is difficult for users to adopt due to its complicated and clunky interface. Users prefer SpotDraft because it is intuitive and easy-to-use for the legal team and business teams across the organization.

Best-in-class editor

Organizations prefer SpotDraft because of its custom editor. SpotDraft built Microsoft Word right into the product. The real MS Word, not a clone, because your work is easier when you’re working in a familiar interface. When you send contracts to a counterparty with SpotDraft, it automatically generates an external word version, which is an actual word document, not a ‘clone’ like other CLM solutions.

Implementation and customer support

SpotDraft’s implementation program is industry-leading, getting you on the platform from day one and fully set up in just 4-6 weeks. Much faster than the 3-6 month industry standard. Also, Ironclad charges extra for implementation. SpotDraft is the better choice because we offer free implementation, a dedicated success manager, unlimited trainings and a customer success team that goes the extra mile.
“Great product with an outstanding team! Spotdraft is a very agile company who is hungry to build a category leading product. As a customer, I truly believe the product has huge potential

Affordability and pricing

Price is the biggest blocker for Ironclad customers. SpotDraft offers better functionality, for lower prices than Ironclad. With customized pricing options, no hidden fees and clear pricing tiers, you can plan your business expenses a lot better with SpotDraft.

Native eSignatures & Reporting

With SpotDraft, you get an exclusive native eSignature tool, which is not available on Ironclad. You also have unlimited eSignatures, which are compliant across all major geographies.This allows counterparties to sign contracts instantly.

The reasons don’t stop there. SpotDraft is also the more efficient choice because we offer data-driven insights to optimize the contracting lifecycle. Users have found that on Ironclad, more standard reporting could be available. SpotDraft offers a more standard reporting and it’s easier to create new reports from scratch.

Integrations

Another reason to pick SpotDraft? Because the breadth and depth of SpotDraft’s integrations will go perfectly well with your existing tech stack. SpotDraft supports integrations with CRMs, HRMs, eSignature platforms, cloud storage platforms and much, much more. SpotDraft can also be integrated with Slack, the popular messaging platform and send out automated reminders via Slack. This integration is not available on Ironclad.
Great product with an outstanding team! SpotDraft is a very agile company who is hungry to build a category leading product. As a customer that comes across very positively. The product has a huge potential.

User-interface

Users of LinkSquares find that the user interface is too complex. For example, according to users, the search feature and contract categorization could be improved for ease of use.

Implementation and customer support

SpotDraft’s implementation program is industry-leading, getting you on the platform from day one and fully set up in just 4-6 weeks. Much faster than the 3-6 month industry standard. With other CLM tools, onboarding can be time-consuming, and complex. This not only raises costs but also reduces the chances of adoption.
