Contracts don’t just need signing. They need somewhere to live.
Agreeon is one workspace for the whole life of an agreement: draft it, redline it, get it approved, sign it, then keep it somewhere that remembers the renewal date. E-signature tools stop at the signature, which is about halfway.
No card required · Free plan covers three documents a month

Why Agreeon
Signing is the easy part
By the time a contract reaches a signature it has already been through four tools and six people. That is where the weeks go, and where the renewal date gets lost.
One contract, the usual route
- 01Draft in Word, email version one to legal
- 02Three more versions by email, nobody sure which is current
- 03Export to PDF, upload it to the signing tool
- 04Chase two signatures for a week and a half
- 05Save the signed copy to a shared drive
- 06Miss the auto-renewal, because that lived in a spreadsheet
Six tools, no single record, and the only person who knows the current version is whoever sent the last email.
One contract, in Agreeon
Same contract, one record. Everyone works on the live document, every change is logged, and the signed copy stays attached to its dates, its audit trail and its renewal reminder.
How it works
Four stages, one system of record
Nothing is exported, re-uploaded or re-keyed between these stages. It is the same document, the same parties and the same audit trail the whole way through.
Start from a template, not a blank page
Answer a short questionnaire and the template writes itself, or drop in the contract the other side sent you. Either way you are working inside Agreeon within a minute.
Questionnaire to contract
Answer a handful of questions and the template fills itself in, clause by clause, with the fields already tagged for signature.
Their paper, your workspace
Upload a PDF or Word file and Agreeon pulls out the parties, value, dates and renewal terms for you to check.
Your clause library
Keep approved wording in one place so nobody retypes the indemnity clause from memory at 17:40 on a Friday.
Redline in the browser, with the other side in it
Comments, suggested edits and version history on one live document. The counterparty gets a link, not a 4MB attachment and an apology.
Comments pinned to the clause
Start a thread on the exact paragraph it belongs to, internally or with the other side, and resolve it when it is settled.
AI review on demand
Scan an incoming contract for the clauses that usually cost you money, checked against your own playbook rather than a generic one.
Every version, kept
Each change, who made it and when, retained automatically. No more v7-final-FINAL.docx in someone's downloads folder.
Clear the internal approvals, then sign
Route by contract value, type or risk so the right people sign off before anything reaches the client, then collect signatures in the order you need them.
Approval chains you can read
Build the routing once and Agreeon applies it to every contract that matches. No code, no change to who may approve what.
Signatures that stand up
Identity checks, email OTP where you need it, and a certificate of completion appended to the signed PDF.
Signing that works on a phone
Recipients sign from an emailed link. No account, no app, no download, no printing and scanning.
Then it stops being something you have to remember
Signed contracts land in a searchable repository with their dates attached, and Agreeon puts its hand up before anything renews, expires or quietly rolls over.
Search inside the documents
Full-text search across every contract, party and clause you have signed, not just the file names.
Renewal reminders that fire
Set the notice period once and get told in time to actually negotiate, cancel or renegotiate.
Where contracts get stuck
Cycle times by stage, owner and counterparty, so you can see which step is costing you the fortnight.

What a signing tool leaves you to do yourself
DocuSign and Adobe are genuinely good at the signature itself, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The difference is everything on either side of it, and what that costs you in tools, seats and dollars.

POPIA collection notice served to every signer
Compared against each vendor’s publicly published plans and feature pages, and their entry-level and most-popular tiers rather than their enterprise suites. A dash means the capability exists but sits in a separate product or a higher tier. DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat Sign and PandaDoc are trademarks of their respective owners; Agreeon is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it.
Where we’d point you elsewhere
The honest bit
If you push tens of thousands of envelopes a month through a US procurement stack, or you need a specific signing integration your ERP already speaks, buy the thing that plugs in. Agreeon is built for South African teams of roughly five to two hundred people who are tired of running contracts out of Word, an inbox and a spreadsheet, and who want the signature and everything after it in one place.
