Resubly vs Renewly: AI Renewal Trackers, Banded or Flat

The Short Answer: Both Read Contract PDFs, the Pricing Shape Differs

Resubly and Renewly are the two extraction-first tools in the lightweight renewal tracker tier. Both take a contract PDF as input, both read the renewal and notice terms out of it, and both alert a human before the window closes. Either one replaces the spreadsheet. The real choice is between Renewly's contract bands starting at $149 per month and Resubly's flat $99 per month with unlimited subscriptions and team members, plus a difference in how much of the team can actually see the tracker.

What Renewly Does

Renewly is a London company, and the homepage says the founder answers the emails himself. Ingestion is genuinely flexible. You drop the PDF in, or you forward the email the contract arrived in, and scanned or photographed documents are acceptable. The extraction reads the auto-renewal clauses, notice periods, and renewal dates, and keeps each clause next to the source text so you can check the working. Alerts go to your inbox and your calendar ninety, sixty, thirty, and seven days out.

The pricing is banded by contract count. The free plan covers 5 contracts and 3 team seats indefinitely. Starter is $149 per month, or $1,490 per year, for 100 contracts and 3 seats, adding CSV export, calendar sync, and an audit log. Business is $499 per month for 500 contracts and 10 seats, and it is the first tier with Slack and Teams notifications, Salesforce integration, and DocuSign e-signatures. Enterprise starts at $999 per month. Overage is billed at $2 per contract per month against your peak count, with the first partial overage month free, which softens the cliff between bands. Every plan includes EU or US data residency, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What Resubly Does

Resubly is built for Finance and Ops teams at 20 to 500 person companies whose SaaS contracts live as PDFs in a shared drive. Extraction reads out the fields a renewal decision turns on: vendor name, total contract value, currency, start date, renewal date, notice-period days, and the vendor notice address you need when it is time to send a non-renewal letter. Every field carries a confidence score, and nothing enters the renewal list until a person confirms it in review.

From there the loop runs the same way: renewal dates, notice windows, named owners, alerts with lead time by email and Slack. Pricing is free for up to 5 subscriptions, then a flat $99 per month or $990 per year with unlimited subscriptions and unlimited team members. No per-seat fees, no contract bands, no overage rate. The honest limits: it is not a negotiation service, it does not do usage discovery through SSO integrations, and there is no 30-day money-back window. You can cancel anytime and keep access to the end of the billing period, but there is no partial refund, and the refund policy says so outright.

Where They Are the Same

• Extraction first. The PDF is the input on both sides. Renewly shows the clause next to the source text; Resubly attaches a confidence score per field and holds results in a review state. Convergent design from two small teams.
• A free tier of 5. Both are free indefinitely at 5 contracts or subscriptions. You can run both on real data without paying either.
• Annual means two months free. $1,490 against $1,788 for Renewly Starter, $990 against $1,188 for Resubly Pro.
• Youth. Renewly registered its domain in January 2026, Resubly in February 2026. Neither tool wins a longevity argument, which is what the free tiers are for.

Where They Differ

Pricing: banded contracts, or flat and unlimited

At 40 contracts the math is simple: Renewly Starter at $149 per month against Resubly at $99, same extraction on both sides. Credit where due: the $2 per contract overage is a moderate rate, and it keeps Starter viable well past 100 contracts, so the jump to the $499 Business tier is avoidable for a long time. The structural difference is not the total, it is the cap and the anxiety that comes with it. Flat pricing means the answer to "can we track one more contract" is always yes.

Seats: 3 on Starter, or unlimited

Renewly's Starter plan includes 3 team seats; a fourth pair of eyes means the $499 Business tier. Resubly has no seat count at any price. This matters more than it sounds: the failure this whole category exists to prevent is "nobody knew who owned the contract", and a tracker only solves it if the owners, finance, IT, and the department that bought the thing, can all see it.

Alert channels: email and calendar, or email and Slack

Renewly's alerts land in your inbox and your calendar at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days, and that seven-day reminder is a genuinely good touch. Slack and Teams notifications arrive only on the $499 Business tier. Resubly includes Slack at $99, because renewal warnings belong where the team already is, not only in one person's inbox.

The trial risk after you upgrade

Renewly offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which lowers the risk of paying for it before you are sure. Resubly has no money-back window; the compensation is an indefinitely free tier at 5 subscriptions, so you can know the product well before the first invoice. If you want a refund path on a paid plan, Renewly has one and we do not.
