Why teams leave Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper is powerful for enterprise contract teams with dedicated admins. Most mid-market companies just need to track contracts and vendors—not manage complex hierarchies.
Overwhelming Interface for Casual Users
20+ menu options, nested workflows, cryptic terminology. Your team needs hours of training just to find a contract. Most users never learn the advanced features.
$40K-80K Implementation Required
License fees are just the start. Professional services for setup, data migration, and training easily add $40K-80K. Total first-year cost often exceeds $100K.
3-6 Month Implementation Timeline
Requirements gathering, data modeling, workflow configuration, user acceptance testing. You won't go live this quarter—or even next quarter.
Change Requests Cost Extra
Need to adjust a workflow or add a field? That's a change order. Simple modifications require consulting hours at $200-300/hour.
Why teams switch from Gatekeeper to VendorJot
VendorJot delivers enterprise contract management without the enterprise pain. Self-service setup, intuitive interface, transparent pricing.
AI Contract Extraction (No Manual Tagging)
Upload a PDF and our AI automatically extracts parties, dates, renewal terms, payment schedules, and termination clauses. No manual data entry.
Self-Service Configuration
Build approval workflows, customize fields, and invite vendors yourself in hours. No consultants, no project managers, no change orders.
Everything else you need
