Questions to ask Zoho Contracts before you sign

  • Which plan includes SAML SSO, and what does it cost for our seat count?
  • Is SCIM provisioning included, or a paid add-on?
  • Can we sign your standard DPA without changes?
  • What will the price be at renewal, and is the increase capped?

Questions are listed where Zoho Contracts's public pages leave the answer open.

Who Zoho Contracts is for

Choose Zoho Contracts if

Look elsewhere if

  • Teams needing deep reporting or non-Zoho integrations (reviewer-comparison criticism, vendor-competitor source)
  • Companies with high contract volume on Standard (25 contracts per user per month)
