Plexus Gateway alternatives: feature comparison for Plexus vs Juro

Does Plexus Gateway work for legal?

Plexus Gateway is an enterprise-focused contract management solution that helps businesses to negotiate, approve, store and manage contracts. But does the software provide the advanced features legal and business teams need to manage contracts in 2023?

This page explores the features, limitations and pricing of Plexus Gateway, comparing it to Juro's all-in-one contract automation platform.

Plexus Gateway limitations

One drawback of Plexus Gateway is that contracts will need to be in an editable file format, like a Word document (e.g docx), to be edited within the platform.

This means that, according to Plexus' own documentation, static files like PDFs can’t be edited within the platform without first being converted into a different format.

Another limitation of the platform is that any track changes made within the platform will constitute a new version of the contract.

This means that parties will move between multiple different versions of a contract during negotiations, making it difficult to retain version control.

Other key limitations of Plexus Gateway include:

‍Limited negotiation and review functionality: various Plexus reviews express the desire to set up specific approval workflows and tag other users in comments, both of which can be done in a more advanced contract tool like Juro

Lacks popular native integrations: Plexus Gateway does not offer native integrations with major platforms like Salesforce, Zapier or Greenhouse, connecting instead via Microsoft PowerAutomate. By comparison, Juro’s integrations are native, supported and listed in respective marketplaces (see Salesforce, Zapier and Greenhouse).

Legal and business teams in scaling businesses require a contract platform that’s designed for contracts. Juro’s contract automation software provides an all-in-one solution to contract automation and management, with an editor built with legal in mind.

Plexus Gateway pricing

Plexus Gateway has not provided any details about pricing or plans on their website. This makes it challenging for businesses to determine whether the software is affordable for their business and whether the plans include enough functionality.

However, since Plexus Gateway does work with a lot of enterprise-level businesses, users can assume that the software will be priced accordingly. This means that the software could potentially be among the more expensive CLM tools on the market, making it less suitable for scaling businesses.

Fortunately, Juro offers flexible plans to suit every business, from a free plan for small companies just getting started through to plans designed specifically for startups, scaleups and larger companies.
