Frequently Asked Questions
Does Renewly have the configuration flexibility of Agiloft?
No. Agiloft is famous for being the most configurable CLM platform-you can customize workflows, fields, automations, and even bring your own extraction model. Renewly is the opposite: zero configuration, out-of-the-box renewal tracking that works immediately. If you need extensive customization for complex approval chains or specialized contract workflows, Agiloft is built for that. If you want renewal tracking without spending weeks configuring it, Renewly's simplicity is the advantage.
Can Renewly replace Agiloft for contract management?
Only if you're using Agiloft primarily for renewal tracking. Agiloft is a full CLM platform with contract creation, negotiation workflows, approval chains, e-signatures, and advanced automation. Renewly focuses exclusively on tracking renewal dates for existing contracts. If you're using Agiloft's full feature set, Renewly can't replace it. However, if you're overpaying for Agiloft just to track renewals, Renewly delivers that specific capability at up to 70% lower cost (from $149/mo vs $6K-68K/year).
Why is Agiloft so much more expensive?
Agiloft costs $6,000-68,000+/year vs Renewly's $149/month because it's a comprehensive enterprise platform with 30+ years of development. You're paying for: extensive no-code configuration tools, advanced workflow automation, professional implementation services (4-16 weeks), dedicated support, and the ability to customize every aspect of contract management. If you need that level of power and flexibility, Agiloft's pricing reflects its capabilities. If you just need renewal alerts, you don't need to pay for enterprise configurability.
Does Renewly support custom workflows like Agiloft?
No. Agiloft's strength is building custom approval workflows, routing contracts to specific stakeholders, and automating complex business processes. Renewly doesn't have workflow automation-it focuses on one workflow: extracting contract data and sending renewal alerts. If your renewal process requires custom approval chains or routing rules, Agiloft (or another full CLM) is what you need. If your process is simply 'remind me 90 days before renewal,' Renewly handles that perfectly.
The Bottom Line
Choose Renewly if...
You want renewal tracking that works out of the box in 5 minutes. You do not need custom workflows, approval chains, or configurable fields. You want to pay from $149/month, not $6K to $68K per year.
Choose Agiloft if...
You need a highly configurable CLM platform with custom workflows, approval chains, and the ability to bring your own extraction models. You have the budget and the team to run a 4 to 16 week implementation.
