Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Renewly and Termedora?
Termedora is a focused SaaS renewal tracker that imports data via CSV or manual entry - it does not read your contract PDFs. Renewly uploads the PDF itself, extracts the vendor, value, renewal date, and notice period, then computes your act-by date. Termedora costs less ($49/month vs Renewly's $149/month), but Renewly does the reading for you.
Does Termedora read contract PDFs automatically?
No. Termedora's own site describes CSV import or manual entry as the way data gets in - there is no document extraction step. Renewly extracts renewal dates, auto-renewal clauses, and notice periods automatically from any PDF you upload, and you review the results before they're saved.
Is Termedora cheaper than Renewly?
Yes, on paid plans - Termedora is $49/month (or $470/year) versus Renewly's $149/month Starter plan. The gap is what you get for the difference: Renewly reads the contract for you, and its free tier (5 contracts, no card, no time limit) has no trial clock, unlike Termedora's 14-day trial.
Does Termedora track notice periods?
Termedora tracks notice periods once you've entered them - it sends reminders at 90/60/30 days by default. It does not extract the notice period from the contract document itself. Renewly reads the notice period out of the PDF and combines it with the end date to compute the actual last day you can cancel.
Which one should I choose, Renewly or Termedora?
Choose Termedora if your renewals are already organized in a spreadsheet and you mainly want reliable reminders over email, Slack, and SMS at a low monthly price. Choose Renewly if your source of truth is a pile of contract PDFs and the risk you actually worry about is a notice period nobody knew existed.
The Bottom Line
Choose Renewly if...
The source of truth is a pile of PDFs, not a spreadsheet, and the risk you actually worry about is a notice period nobody knew existed. You want the deadline in your dashboard to be the real one, read from the document, not the one someone remembered to type in.
Choose Termedora if...
Your renewals are already in a tidy sheet, you mainly want reliable reminders over Slack and SMS, and $49/month is the right budget line.
