Here's what I'd actually recommend, and the honest framing first: \"contract management\" means two different things, and which one you need determines the answer. Either (a) you create and send contracts for signature constantly - sales, client agreements, SOWs; or (b) you already have a pile of signed contracts in Google Drive and keep missing renewal dates and don't know what you agreed to. Most tools are good at one, not both.\n\n**1. PandaDoc** - ~$19-35/user/mo. My default pick for most small businesses, because most small businesses are in bucket (a). Templates, e-sign, approval routing, payment collection, decent CRM integrations (HubSpot especially). Interface is the one people actually adopt without training.
