Gatekeeper is a vendor management platform with a contract module — built for tracking suppliers, not enabling legal and business teams to draft, negotiate, and sign at speed. Juro is purpose-built for the full contract lifecycle: faster to implement, easier to adopt, and AI-native from day one.
Teams switch to Juro from Gatekeeper when they realise they need a contract platform, not a procurement platform with contracts bolted on. Juro gives legal and business teams a purpose-built home for the full contract lifecycle: faster to implement, easier to adopt across the business, and designed to go deeper on contracts than Gatekeeper ever will.
Gatekeeper covers contracts as part of a broader procurement platform, which means functionality like drafting, negotiation, and signing is thinner than a purpose-built CLM.
Juro gives you the full stack in one place: a browser-native editor, AI-assisted drafting and review, live in-browser negotiation, native eSignature, and an intelligent repository with agentic AI across the whole portfolio.
Gatekeeper's implementation is consistently flagged in reviews as more technical and time-consuming than expected, often requiring IT support, professional services, and extended configuration just to get started.
Juro is renowned for being easy to use and implement, resulting in faster time-to-value for Juro users and better business-wide adoption.
Gatekeeper's contract creation relies on Word uploads or PDF imports as there's no native editor built for drafting or collaboration.
Juro's browser-native editor is where contracts are written, reviewed, and negotiated, with AI assistance, conditional logic, and collaborative commenting built in. With Juro, contracts begin in the same place they're signed, agreed, and stored.

“Implementing Juro has revolutionized the way that my team manages contracts! Tasks that used to take 1-2 hours are now completed in a fraction of that time!”
“Using Juro as our CLM tool has changed the game for our legal team. Implementation was excellent. Each of our contract stakeholders (including counsel) has increased visibility into contract terms and status”
“One of the amazing things about Juro is that the sales team can self-serve and take a lot of the initial burden off of the legal team”
“The initial setup and configuration was a bit technical, requiring more IT support than expected.We made the wise decision to purchase a block of professional service support for this reason”
“We'd have loved to have seen a live online collaboration tool, but it's not quite there yet. Equally we'd like to see redline on any changes a client made”
“Pricing structure can be seen as expensive, especially for smaller businesses”
Gatekeeper operates a quote-based model, with pricing dependent on various factors, including the modules required.
G2 reviews left by Gatekeeper users note that additional modules come with a significant jump in cost, and that pricing can be prohibitive for smaller businesses.
Teams that need only CLM functionality may also find themselves paying for procurement and vendor management capabilities they don't use.
It depends on your requirements. Gatekeeper's implementation is consistently flagged in user reviews as more technical and time-consuming than expected, often requiring dedicated IT resource or a purchased block of professional services to configure correctly.
Ongoing customisation also has limits — dashboards, fields, and automated reporting have constraints that can require workarounds.
Gatekeeper is a Vendor & Contract Lifecycle Management (VCLM) platform, designed primarily for procurement teams managing supplier relationships, risk, and compliance.
Contract management sits within that broader context, which means functionality like drafting, negotiation, and signing is thinner than a purpose-built CLM.
Juro is built exclusively for the contract lifecycle, making it a more natural fit for legal and business teams.
Gatekeeper is primarily designed for procurement and supplier management teams, which means business-wide adoption across legal, sales, HR, and finance is not its core use case.
Its depth of functionality is oriented around vendor relationships and compliance workflows rather than the fast, self-serve contract creation that commercial teams need.
Juro is built for the whole business: sales teams can self-serve on contracts, legal retains control, and every stakeholder has visibility
Gatekeeper's AI is primarily focused on contract data extraction and repository search, which is useful for analyzing existing contracts, but not built for the drafting and negotiation stages of the lifecycle.
Juro's AI spans the full contract lifecycle: draft with AI assistance, review and redline in-browser, and query your entire signed contract portfolio in natural language via Operator.
Gatekeeper competes primarily with other vendor and procurement management platforms. For teams evaluating Gatekeeper specifically for contract lifecycle management, purpose-built CLMs like Juro, Ironclad, and Concord are worth considering, particularly if you’re looking to manage more than just supplier agreements.
Juro integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Docusign, Slack, Microsoft Word, Google Drive, Zapier, Greenhouse, Ashby, ChatGPT, and a REST API. Zapier extends that reach further - it connects Juro contracts with 6,000+ apps without writing a single line of code.
