Resubly vs Termedora: Lightweight Renewal Trackers Compared

Both tools track renewal dates, notice windows, and owners. Termedora covers every expiry type and leaves data entry to you. Resubly extracts it.

The Short Answer: Same Loop, Two Different Bets

Termedora and Resubly are both lightweight renewal trackers, and both are explicit about what they are not. Neither is a contract lifecycle management platform, and neither asks you to restructure how procurement works. Both track renewal dates, compute a real action deadline from notice periods, and alert a named owner before the window closes. If that loop is what you need, both tools cover it.

The difference is data entry and scope. Termedora tracks every kind of expiry date and leaves getting the data in to you. Resubly is built for SaaS contracts and takes the data entry on itself: you upload the contract PDF, and extraction reads out the dates. Which one fits depends on which half of the workflow actually hurts.

What Termedora Does

Termedora is a renewal and expiry date tracker that treats anything with a deadline as the job. Supplier contracts and subscriptions sit in the same system as training certificates, professional licences, permits, insurance policies, equipment inspections, warranties, and vehicle registrations. For each item it computes a deadline to act: the notice period for a contract, the lead time for a certificate or inspection. Reminders then fire at customisable intervals, 90, 60, and 30 days before that deadline by default, by email, Slack, and SMS.

The delivery mechanics are more considered than the price suggests. Every item gets a reminder log, email open tracking, and bounce detection that flags reminders which never arrived. Items go in by CSV import or manual entry. There is cost and renewal analytics with multi-currency conversion, term and renewal roll-forward with history retained, secure document storage, role-based team access, and outbound webhooks. The free plan covers 5 items and 5 team members with all features included. The Team plan is $49 per month, or $470 per year, with unlimited items and team members.

The honest limits: the homepage and the pricing page make no mention of PDF upload or extraction. Everything you track, you typed in, or you imported as a CSV row that someone produced by hand. That is a deliberate scope choice, and for a compliance team tracking hundreds of certificates it is the right one. For a finance team whose contracts live as PDFs in a shared drive, it moves the work back toward the spreadsheet pattern this category exists to replace.

What Resubly Does

Resubly is a renewal tracker for SaaS contracts, built around the expensive failure mode: the auto-renewal that locks in because a notice window closed while nobody was watching. Upload a contract PDF and 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 would need to send a non-renewal letter to. Every field carries a confidence score, and an extracted contract lands in a review state, not silently in your renewal list.

From there it is the same loop: renewal dates, notice windows, named owners, alerts with lead time. Pricing is free for up to 5 subscriptions, then a flat $99 per month or $990 per year with unlimited subscriptions and team members, no per-seat fees. The honest limits, stated the same way: it is not a negotiation service, nobody haggles with your vendors for you, and it does not do automated usage discovery through SSO integrations. It is also deliberately narrower. A training certificate or a vehicle registration is not its job.

Where They Are the Same

  • The core loop. Renewal dates, notice periods, a computed action deadline, and alerts routed to a named owner before the window closes.
  • The positioning. Both explicitly refuse to be a CLM platform. Both are small tools for one job, on purpose.
  • The free tier shape. 5 items or subscriptions free, all features included, no credit card required.
  • Flat pricing. Termedora is $49 per month for unlimited items. Resubly is $99 per month for unlimited subscriptions. Neither charges per seat, and neither takes a percentage of spend.
  • CSV import. Both accept a CSV, so leaving the spreadsheet does not mean retyping everything.
  • Youth. Termedora registered its domain in January 2026, Resubly in February 2026. If vendor longevity is your deciding factor, neither tool wins that argument, which is exactly what the free tiers are for.

Where They Differ

Scope: every expiry date, or SaaS contracts

Termedora is the wider tool. If your renewal problem is certificates, licences, permits, and insurance as much as contracts, it is built for that mix and Resubly is not. Resubly is the deeper tool for one vertical: contracts, obligations, notice windows, and the SaaS renewal calendar, as one part of the lightweight tier of renewal tooling. A health and safety team should shortlist Termedora. A finance team with 40 SaaS subscriptions and a drive full of contract PDFs should shortlist Resubly.

Data entry: typed in, or extracted

This is the real fork. Every tracker lives or dies on whether its data is current, and manual entry is the reason most trackers decay. Termedora keeps entry manual but adds genuine delivery accountability once the data is in. Resubly removes the entry step: the PDF goes in, the fields come out with confidence scores, and a human reviews before anything counts. Neither approach is wrong, but only one of them survives a busy quarter.

Price: $49 versus $99

The gap is $50 per month on monthly billing and $520 per year on annual. What the gap buys is the end of manual data entry, plus the review workflow behind it. One saved notice window pays for years of the difference, and one missed usually costs more than both tools combined. If you are willing to type, Termedora is the cheaper tool, and it is a good one.

Alert channels

Both send email and Slack alerts. Termedora adds SMS for last-chance reminders, plus open tracking and bounce detection on every send. That is the more complete delivery stack at the alert layer, and it is worth saying plainly.

How to Pick in Five Minutes

  • Certificates, licences, permits, or inspections are in the mix. Termedora. That breadth is its job.
  • SaaS contracts living as PDFs in a shared drive. Resubly. Extraction exists precisely for this pile.
  • Willing to type every item and keep it current. Termedora, at the lower price.
  • Want the entry done and reviewed before it counts. Resubly.
  • Undecided. Run both free in parallel on your real 5 items for a month. It costs nothing, and the tool you actually keep updating is the answer.

If the SaaS contract pile is the problem, you can test the premise without spending anything. Resubly is free for up to 5 subscriptions with no credit card required, which is enough to put your five biggest renewals under watch this afternoon and see whether extracted deadlines and notice windows change how next quarter looks.
