Juro benefits 

Rich-text contract editor

Juro’s rich text editor makes it quick and easy to create, edit and amend contracts, with the ability to add rich media like images, tables and GIFs and make legal agreements more human.

Juro users can choose to create beautifully designed contracts from scratch or use automated templates, conditional logic and natural language Q&A to build contracts in seconds - with or without legal expertise. 

Juro's AI Assistant also enables users to automate contract drafting. Users can prompt the AI to draft full contracts or individual clauses in seconds, based on the information provided in their contract playbook and guardrails.

Juro users can leave externally facing comments and internal comments, which allows them to collaborate on contracts privately. Juro also enables users to set up approval workflows and control which edits are visible to external parties, putting your contracts in the best possible position for success. 

Capture valuable contract data

Unlike ContractPodAI which reportedly makes it challenging to search and query contract data, Juro allows users to capture critical contract data in seconds, with a data rich contract repository, real-time dashboard and powerful search functionality. 

Since Juro creates contracts as structured data, business and legal teams can quickly search and query important contract details like renewal dates, cost per transaction and the status of certain contracts. 

Juro's Legal AI Assistant can also be used to automate the contract review and analysis process. This can be used to identify risks, summarize key clauses, and detect deviations from standard accepted terms.

Replace several tools with one

Contract tools should reduce the number of tools you rely on and streamline your contract management process. Juro does just that. 

Juro offers a contract management solution that truly provides end-to-end functionality, with all of the features you need to create, edit, review, approve, sign, manage and audit contracts in one place, for one price. 

ContractPodAi pricing

ContractPodAi does not advertise any prices for their plans, nor do they discuss what is included in certain plans, or how they charge customers. The software is, however, rumoured to be expensive.

Not only that, but some users have also expressed concerns about additional costs that are incurred on top of the annual charge, like contract migration fees.

This makes ContractPodAi a less attractive solution for scaling businesses, as it can mean that the price can increase dramatically as your business grows. 

Juro offers flexible plans to suit in-house legal teams in companies of all sizes, with unlimited usres and templates included in all plans. Check out our pricing page to select a plan that’s right for your business.
