DealView vs. ContractWorks: A Modern Alternative for Mid-Market Legal Ops
A factual comparison for mid-market Legal Ops teams evaluating ContractWorks (now part of Onit) against DealView's contract intelligence platform.
Where ContractWorks lives today
ContractWorks is now part of Onit's product portfolio. The Onit product page describes it as the “same trusted contract lifecycle management solution, backed by the full strength of Onit's product portfolio,” and contractworks.com redirects to the Onit page. The product continues to ship with two tiers — Standard (1,500 documents stored, unlimited users, 10+ eSignature licenses) and Premium (10,000 documents, unlimited users, 20+ eSignature licenses, up to 1,200 drafted documents) — with AI auto-tagging available as an option on both tiers. Onit does not publish dollar pricing on the public product page; evaluation requires a free trial or sales contact. Everything below compares published ContractWorks capability against DealView's shipped product, not against speculation.

Why mid-market Legal Ops teams choose DealView
Four capabilities that line up with how Legal Ops at 250–750-employee mid-market companies actually buys software.
Transparent pricing without a sales call
Self-serve through the Professional tier (up to 5,000 contracts, 15 users). Dollar pricing is on the pricing page — no demos required to evaluate fit.
AI extraction you can actually filter on
DealView extracts contract data into 70+ flat database columns rather than free-text tags, so the 73 filters and natural-language search return precise results, not tag-keyword approximations.
Integrations beyond eSignature
Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and Salesforce sync directly into workspaces. Use your existing eSignature vendor (DocuSign, Adobe Sign, PandaDoc) rather than the one bundled with your CLM.
Built for mid-market Legal Ops
Workspace architecture, folder permissions, and approval workflows fit a 250–750-employee company that has a Legal Ops function but doesn’t want enterprise CLM implementation overhead.
Migrating from ContractWorks
DealView's Migration Engine handles bulk import from common contract formats. Drop a ZIP export from ContractWorks (or a folder of PDFs/DOCX files) and the structured repository builds itself: AI classifies document types, extracts 70+ fields per contract, OCRs scanned PDFs, and detects contract relationships like MSA↔SOW.
Bulk-export from ContractWorks via API or download, then upload to DealView as a ZIP, folder, or cloud-storage sync.
Document types auto-classified (NDA, MSA, SOW, Lease, etc.); 70+ fields extracted per contract; OCR handles scanned pages.
Use 73 filters and natural-language search across the structured data; automated alerts fire 30/60/90 days before renewals.
Pricing transparency
Onit does not publish ContractWorks dollar pricing on the public product page; evaluation requires a free trial or a sales contact. DealView publishes six tiers — including a $0 Freemium tier — with monthly and annual dollar pricing visible to anyone. Annual pricing is computed as monthly × 12 × 0.80 (a 20% discount) and is verified against the live Stripe Prices API on every release. Evaluate fit without booking a call.

Is ContractWorks still a standalone product?
ContractWorks is now part of Onit's product portfolio. The Onit product page describes it as the "same trusted contract lifecycle management solution. Backed by the full strength of Onit's product portfolio." Onit acquired the product, and contractworks.com now redirects to the Onit product page.
How does DealView compare to ContractWorks for AI extraction?
ContractWorks offers AI-native auto-tagging of dates, obligations, and clauses (described as optional on both Standard and Premium tiers). DealView's AI extracts contract data into 70+ flat database columns — dates, parties, payment terms, governing law, indemnification details, and more — which makes the data directly filterable and queryable via 73 filters and natural-language search rather than only via tags.
Can I migrate from ContractWorks to DealView?
Yes. DealView's Migration Engine accepts bulk uploads in common contract formats (PDF, DOCX, ZIP archives) and folder structures. AI auto-classifies document types (NDA, MSA, SOW, Lease, etc.), OCR handles scanned PDFs, and contract linking detects MSA↔SOW relationships. Export your contracts from ContractWorks, drop them into DealView, and the structured repository builds itself.
How does DealView pricing work?
DealView publishes six tiers with monthly and annual dollar pricing at dealview.io/pricing. Annual is priced at monthly × 12 × 0.80 (a 20% discount) and is verified against the live Stripe Prices API. Each tier includes a one-time migration credit for bulk onboarding plus a recurring monthly AI-operations quota that resets each month.
What does the migration from ContractWorks to DealView involve?
Three steps. (1) Export your contracts from ContractWorks via their API or bulk download. (2) Upload to DealView via drag-and-drop ZIP, folder upload, or a cloud-storage integration (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Salesforce). (3) DealView's AI classifies document types, extracts 70+ fields per contract, and OCRs any scanned PDFs. Your migration credit covers the initial bulk extraction; the monthly quota covers ongoing operations after that.
