fynk vs Contractbook.

Both put drafting, negotiation, signing and a repository in one subscription, and both host in the EU. They differ in which signature levels you get, how far the AI reaches, and whether the bill follows headcount or contract volume. Compared across contract management, AI, signatures, security and cost.

Choose fynk if

  • Some of your contracts need a qualified electronic signature (QES), not only AES.
  • Your contract volume is growing and you do not want a yearly cap on signed contracts.
  • You want to ask questions across the whole repository and review drafts against your own playbook.
  • You want published prices and self-serve sign-up on every plan, not a quote request.
  • You want an MCP server so AI assistants can work with your contracts, from the Essential plan.

Choose Contractbook if

  • Your counterparties sign with MitID or Nordic BankID and you want that built in.
  • Your procurement team asks for a SOC 2 Type II report, not only ISO 27001.
  • You are a small team with a predictable contract volume that fits the yearly allowance, and you prefer a flat fee with users included.
  • You already sign with Scrive and want to add contract storage and AI extraction on top.
  • Your team wants the app in Danish or Norwegian, not only English or German.

Where fynk and Contractbook actually differ.

AES or QES.

Contractbook’s native signatures cover SES and AES. The AES level comes from SMS verification, MitID or Nordic BankID, and qualified electronic signatures are not among its published signature methods. Its parent Scrive offers QES in its own product, and Contractbook said in June 2025 that its customers would soon get access to Scrive’s e-signature technology, but that was not reflected in the pricing table when we checked. fynk offers SES, AES and QES on every plan, Free included. If you need QES, fynk wins this one. If your counterparties sign with MitID or BankID, Contractbook supports those natively.

What to do with that

List the contracts you sign that need a qualified signature, and the eIDs your counterparties actually use, before you compare anything else.

Contract caps or seats.

Contractbook charges a flat annual fee per plan with users included: 1 on Essential, 5 on Centralize and 10 on Accelerate, with extra users in packs of five for €50 per month. Each plan caps signed contracts per year at 100, 350 or 500, and templates at 5, 15 or 25. No overage price is published; the pricing FAQ describes upgrading when a limit is reached. fynk prices per user with unlimited documents under a fair use policy. Contractbook’s model suits a team with several occasional users and a modest, predictable volume. fynk’s suits a team whose volume is growing, because the bill does not move with the number of contracts.

What to do with that

Count the contracts you signed last year and the people who need a login. The first number decides the Contractbook plan, the second decides the fynk bill.

One contract or the whole archive.

Both read contracts on import: Contractbook’s AI import extracts data on every plan, with OCR full-text search and reminders, and fynk returns parties, dates, values and notice periods as structured data. The difference is the reach of the assistant. Contractbook describes its AI contract assistant per contract: ask a contract a question, spot red flags, rewrite clauses, summarise terms. fynk’s assistant answers questions across the whole repository, reviews drafts against playbooks you define, and ships an MCP server from the Essential plan. One limitation on our side: fynk’s AI features draw on a monthly credit allowance per user (50, 150 or 250 depending on plan). For questions that span the archive, fynk wins.

Integrations and security paperwork.

Contractbook holds SOC 2 Type II and hosts in the EU on Google Cloud. fynk hosts in the European Economic Area, has an ISO 27001 certified ISMS and no SOC 2 attestation. On integrations, Contractbook includes HubSpot and Pipedrive on Accelerate, while its API and the Salesforce integration are paid add-ons. fynk connects Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot and Attio, and its REST API and native HubSpot integration start on the Business plan. On security paperwork, Contractbook wins.

What to do with that

If a SOC 2 report is on your vendor questionnaire, that alone settles it in Contractbook's favour.

Where the bill growsWith headcountWith plan tier, as contract caps, user packs and add-ons are reached

fynk's entry price is per user per month, billed annually, for Essential, its lowest paid plan. Contractbook shows no plan prices on its pricing page; Centralize and Accelerate are sold through a quote request, so its price reads on request here rather than as an estimate. Ask both vendors to quote your real team size and annual volume.

In practice

Switching from Contractbook to fynk in practice.

Contractbook, part of the Scrive group since June 2025, documents how data leaves the product, so the question is less whether you can export than what each export leaves behind. The annual plan and its yearly contract cap set the calendar.

Let the yearly contract cap set the date.

Contractbook bills annually and caps signed contracts per year: 100 on Essential, 350 on Centralize, 500 on Accelerate. When a limit is reached, its pricing FAQ points to the next tier, not to a per-contract charge. If your team nears the cap before the renewal, start sending new contracts from fynk then, because otherwise you pay for a bigger plan only to finish a year you are leaving. fynk has no contract cap: documents are unlimited under a fair use policy, and the bill follows the number of users.

Ask Contractbook support for the bulk export first.

The complete export of all documents is prepared by Contractbook support on request and arrives as a Google Drive folder. Because support has to assemble it, ask as soon as the decision is made, while the account is still active, and check the delivery against the contract list in the Contract View. Single contracts also download as PDF, the fallback for anything missing.

What the Contractbook CSV leaves behind.

On Centralize and Accelerate, the Contract View exports contract data to CSV, but without tags, folders, tasks and comments; on Essential, ask support what you can get. Contractbook keeps reminders as tasks, so write down every open renewal and notice reminder before you go, and note which folders should become tags. In fynk, each imported contract is read and its dates, parties and values come back as fields, the basis for new reminders. Because fynk meters that reading in monthly AI credits per user, plan a big archive as several imports rather than one.

Drafts and templates download as .docx, with data fields and suggestions turned into plain text. With 5 to 25 templates per plan the set is small, but each field has to be placed again in fynk. Integrations are the same: HubSpot and Pipedrive run on Accelerate, where Salesforce and the API are paid add-ons. fynk connects Salesforce and Pipedrive from Essential, while native HubSpot, the REST API and webhooks put you on Business, so price the plan your integrations require.

When staying with Contractbook is the better call.

If most of your counterparties sign with MitID or Nordic BankID, if procurement insists on a SOC 2 report, or if you already sign with Scrive and your volume fits Contractbook’s yearly allowance, switching costs you more than it gives back. The same holds for a small team that gets more from ten users included in one flat fee than from an uncapped contract count. In those cases, stay, and look at the question again when the cap or the next renewal forces it.

"Don't underestimate the value of modern, intuitive usability. People say it's so nice to work with. It actually makes contract work fun. That makes adoption faster and that's why we trust fynk for our contract workflows across the whole company."

fynk vs Contractbook: frequently asked questions.

  • For drafting, negotiation, approvals, signing and a searchable repository, yes. If your counterparties sign with MitID or Nordic BankID, or your procurement requires a SOC 2 report, check those two points first: Contractbook covers both, and fynk has no SOC 2 attestation.

  • Contractbook pricing is not published: the pricing page lists Essential, Centralize and Accelerate as flat annual fees without a price for any of them, and the two larger plans are sold through a quote request. The tier sets the bill, because each one fixes the included users (1, 5 or 10) and the signed contracts per year (100, 350 or 500), and the API, Salesforce, Zapier and Make are paid add-ons on top. The one visible price is the user add-on: five extra users for €50 a month, or €600 a year.

  • It depends on your quote, because Contractbook publishes no plan prices, while fynk starts at €19 per user per month, billed annually. Contractbook's flat fee includes up to 10 users on Accelerate but caps signed contracts at 500 a year, so team size and annual volume decide which model costs less.

  • Not among its published signature methods. Contractbook signs at SES and AES level, with AES through SMS verification, MitID or Nordic BankID. fynk offers SES, AES and QES on every plan.

  • Yes. Contract data exports to CSV on Centralize and Accelerate, single contracts download as PDF, and drafts and templates as .docx. A full bulk export of documents is done by Contractbook support on request.

  • Both host in Europe. Contractbook stores data in the EU on Google Cloud Platform. fynk hosts in the European Economic Area on AWS.
