Both read your contracts with AI, track deadlines and host in Europe. They differ in where drafting and negotiation happen, which features sit in add-ons, and whether you see a price before a sales call. Compared across the archive, AI, signatures, hosting and cost.
Contract management with e-signature and an AI assistant built in.
German contract management platform with AI data extraction, deadline tracking and hosting in Frankfurt.
Grouped by the areas that decide these deals. ContractHero cells describe the Professional package, the one most mid-sized teams would buy. Where a feature exists but costs extra or works differently, it is marked partial.

ContractHero is built around the repository. Contracts are uploaded or imported, AI fills the fields, and reminders and tasks follow from the dates. Drafting starts at Professional, from templates or through a Microsoft Word add-in that handles formatting, redlining and comments and syncs the result back. ContractHero does not describe negotiating with the counterparty inside the product. fynk covers the same archive work and adds a browser editor where drafting, redlining and approvals happen in one place. For a Word-centred legal team that mostly needs its archive under control, ContractHero wins this one. For teams that want negotiation out of email attachments, fynk does.
Map where your contracts are written today. If the answer is Word and nobody wants to change it, weigh that above every other row.
On ContractHero Professional, advanced electronic signatures, templates and the REST API are included. QES, approval workflows, multi-entity separation, the MCP Connector and custom ERP or CRM integrations are paid add-ons. In fynk, SES, AES and QES are available on every plan, and approvals, playbook review and the AI assistant are part of the subscription. fynk has add-ons of its own: guided onboarding is paid, and heavy AI use can need extra credits on top of the monthly allowance. On what the plan covers without extras, fynk wins.
Ask ContractHero for a quote that includes every add-on your process needs, then compare it with fynk's plan at the same headcount.
ContractHero shows every package as on request and recommends a demo to decide which one fits. Its help centre gives Essential from €390 per month, billed annually, for 5 users and 500 contracts, without e-signature, templates or API. Professional and Enterprise have no public price. fynk publishes its prices, from €19 per user per month on annual billing, and has a free single-user plan. The exception is fynk Pro, where SAML SSO, SCIM and a custom SLA sit, which is priced on request too. On transparency fynk wins; if you want the vendor to scope the project with you from the first call, ContractHero’s process is built for that.
Extraction is a draw. Both read every contract on import, including scanned PDFs, and both put AI analysis on every plan. ContractHero adds summaries with jump to source and custom prompts per field. The difference is in asking questions. ContractHero answers portfolio questions through its MCP Connector inside an external assistant such as Claude, read-only and as a paid add-on. fynk has an assistant in the product that answers across the repository, reviews contracts against your playbooks, and ships an MCP server from Essential that can also draft from templates and move contracts forward. fynk’s AI draws on monthly credits per user, so check the allowance against your volume. On asking and reviewing, fynk wins.

Compared plans: fynk Business, the plan that adds the REST API, per user per month on annual billing, and ContractHero Professional, the package that adds signing, templates and the API. ContractHero publishes no price for Professional, so none is estimated here. Ask both vendors to quote your real headcount and volume.
ContractHero offers two export routes on every plan, so the archive itself is the predictable part of this move. The effort sits around it: the renewal date, the signature evidence, the integrations, and the legal team’s habit of drafting in Word.
Every ContractHero plan includes a bulk download of the original PDFs as a ZIP file and a structured export as CSV, PDF or Excel. The ZIP carries no field data, so run the Excel export as well, because that is where the values your team has already checked are kept. On Professional and Enterprise, the REST API also exposes contracts, documents, contacts and tasks, which helps with large archives or when open tasks should come along. fynk reads each PDF again on import and extracts parties, dates, values and clauses, so the Excel file becomes the check rather than the input: compare it with the re-read values, starting with the contracts whose notice periods come up next.
ContractHero processes FES signatures through its partner Dropbox Sign and QES through eideasy, which connects to trust service providers such as D-Trust. Ask ContractHero whether the ZIP contains the signature evidence for each contract signed in the product or whether it has to be requested separately, and test the answer on a few samples. ContractHero usually bills annually in advance, so schedule the export, the check and the notice to finish before the renewal date rather than after it.
If ContractHero set up its two-way HubSpot sync for you, or you run webhooks and the REST API on Professional, write down what each of them triggers before you move. In fynk, native HubSpot, the REST API and webhooks start on Business, so an Essential plan would not cover them, while Salesforce and Pipedrive connect from Essential. ERP, BI or Salesforce connections bought through ContractHero’s custom integrations add-on have to be rebuilt, and whoever owns them should join the project from the first week.
Legal teams on ContractHero’s Word add-in draft, redline and comment in Word, then sync the result back as a PDF. In fynk, templates live in the browser editor, and negotiation happens in the shared document through suggested edits, comments and tracked changes. The handful of templates behind most contracts is quick to rebuild. The real change is habit, so start with one contract type and the people who draft it most often, and widen from there.
If your legal team will keep drafting in Word, if a policy requires storage and processing in Germany rather than anywhere in the EEA, or if the group-wide permissions and multi-entity separation you built in ContractHero work, the move costs more than it returns. fynk hosts in the European Economic Area on AWS, not specifically in Frankfurt, and a switch does not change that. In those cases ContractHero stays the better fit, and checking these three points first spares you an export you would not need.
"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."

For the archive, AI extraction, deadline tracking and e-signature, yes, and fynk adds in-app negotiation, approvals and playbook review. Check two things first: fynk hosts in the European Economic Area on AWS rather than specifically in Germany, and a drafting process built on ContractHero's Word add-in will move into a browser editor.
It cannot be said from public prices alone. ContractHero prices Professional and Enterprise on request, as packages with a bundled number of users and paid add-ons for QES, approvals and the MCP Connector. fynk publishes per-user prices, from €19 per user per month on annual billing. Get a ContractHero quote for your headcount and add-ons, then compare it with the fynk plan you would need.
ContractHero's pricing page shows all three packages as on request. The only published figure is in its help centre: Essential, with 5 users and 500 contracts but no e-signature, templates or API, from €390 per month, usually billed annually in advance. Professional (15 users, unlimited contracts) and Enterprise (50 users) are quoted after a demo. The bill then depends on the users bundled into the package, extra users or contracts booked on top, and add-ons such as an annual QES signature volume, multi-entity separation on Professional or custom ERP and CRM integrations.
Yes. ContractHero stores and processes data in Frankfurt, Germany. fynk hosts in the European Economic Area on AWS. Both hold ISO 27001 certification, and neither lists a SOC 2 report.
fynk's setup is self-serve and takes minutes, so the archive sets the timeline. ContractHero's ZIP download holds the original PDFs but no field data, so export the Excel file as well and keep both together for the import. Run both systems in parallel for a month, and plan the cutover around ContractHero's usual annual prepayment.
