Our verdict
A leading CLM for mid-size and large companies, with agents that redline and extract obligations from your own deal history. Expect a real implementation project.
What it is
Ironclad covers contract creation, negotiation, approvals, signature and a searchable repository. Its AI reviews contracts against playbooks, redlines, extracts obligations and answers questions across the repository.
In October 2026 it launched Ironclad Agent, one conversational interface over a contract knowledge graph that coordinates specialised agents for legal, procurement and sales.
Best for
Companies with high contract volumes across sales, procurement and legal that want one governed process.
Not the right fit
Small teams with a few contracts a month, where e-signature and a folder suffice.
Key capabilities
Workflow designer
Approvals and templates for every contract type.
AI review and redlining
Against your playbook and precedent.
Repository and obligations
Searchable contracts and tracked commitments.
Ironclad Agent
One interface coordinating contract agents.
Strengths
- Strong workflow for business self-service
- AI grounded in your own contracts
- Good integrations with CRM and procurement
Watch-outs
- Quote-only pricing
- Implementation takes planning
- Human review still needed for AI suggestions
Pricing
Ironclad does not publish prices. Third-party estimates range from about $25,000 to $150,000+ a year, with a reported median around $130,000; AI add-ons and implementation packages add cost.
Checked November 2026. Vendors change plans often, so confirm current pricing with Ironclad before you budget.
Security and governance
Role-based access, audit trails, SSO and SOC 2.
How we would roll it out
- Start with one contract typeNDAs or sales agreements prove the workflow.
- Write the playbookAI review needs clear positions and fallbacks.
- Migrate the legacy repositoryObligation tracking needs old contracts too.
