Outlaw is built for teams that draft, redline and negotiate contracts at volume. Miova is built for teams that need to track what has already been signed. Here is how to choose.

Outlaw and Miova both get filed under contract management software, but they are answering different questions. Outlaw is built for teams that draft, negotiate and send a high volume of their own contracts. Miova is built for teams whose real problem is keeping track of what has already been signed, regardless of who wrote it.

Outlaw is a contract lifecycle platform built around dynamic templates, real-time collaborative redlining and embedded e-signature for teams that generate contracts at volume. Miova is a focused tracking tool that gives SMEs visibility over signed contracts and automated renewal reminders, without a drafting and negotiation workflow to configure.

What is Outlaw?

Outlaw is a contract lifecycle management platform aimed at legal, sales and revenue teams that need to generate, negotiate and sign contracts as part of their day-to-day workflow. It combines dynamic templates that populate from your CRM or other source data, browser-based collaborative redlining similar to editing a shared document, an embedded e-signature step, and approval workflows that route contracts to the right people before they go out.

What Outlaw does well

  • Dynamic templates that generate contracts from existing data fields
  • Real-time collaborative redlining inside the browser
  • Embedded e-signature as part of the same workflow
  • Configurable approval chains before a contract is sent
  • Integrations with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot and Slack
  • API access for teams that want to build their own workflows on top

For a sales or legal team that issues a steady stream of its own contracts, such as order forms, master service agreements or partner agreements, Outlaw removes a lot of the manual back-and-forth involved in drafting and negotiating each one.

Where Outlaw is a poor fit for smaller businesses

Outlaw's value sits almost entirely in the drafting and negotiation stage. If most of the contracts your business deals with arrive from vendors and suppliers rather than originate with you, that stage barely comes up. Pricing is not published and is sold through a sales conversation, which typically points to a cost and setup effort built for teams with a dedicated contract operations or legal function, not a lean SME team trying to stay on top of what it has already signed.

What is Miova?

Miova is a contract tracking platform purpose-built for small and medium businesses. It does not draft, redline or negotiate contracts. Instead, it gives every signed contract, whoever wrote it, a home with key dates captured and renewal reminders set automatically.

Miova is built for founders, operations leads and procurement managers who need one clear answer: what has this business signed, and when does it next need attention?

What Miova does well

  • Centralised contract repository for every signed agreement, regardless of who drafted it
  • AI-powered data extraction that captures renewal dates, notice periods and key terms on upload
  • Automated renewal and termination reminders ahead of key dates
  • Monthly contract expiry summary emails
  • Email forwarding to upload - forward a signed PDF and Miova handles the data entry
  • Transparent, published pricing built for SME budgets

Because Miova is not also trying to be a drafting and negotiation tool, onboarding takes minutes rather than a sales process, and the product stays focused on the thing most SMEs actually struggle with: knowing what is coming up before it is too late to act.

Which platform is right for your business?

Choose Outlaw if:

  • You regularly draft, negotiate and send your own contracts at real volume
  • You want redlining and e-signature built into the same workflow as your repository
  • You have a legal or revenue operations function to configure and own the system
  • A custom, quote-based cost fits your budget

Choose Miova if:

  • You mainly receive contracts from vendors and suppliers rather than drafting your own
  • Your contracts are scattered across inboxes, folders or a spreadsheet
  • You have missed a renewal, or you are worried you might
  • You want a fast setup with automated reminders, not a workflow to configure
  • You need transparent, published pricing that suits an SME budget

A note on pricing

Outlaw's pricing is not published and is quoted per business, which typically reflects the breadth of what the platform does and the size of team it is built for. For a business that uses the drafting and negotiation features heavily, it can be worth the investment.

Miova publishes its pricing directly:

  • Free tier with 5 contracts and 1 user, no credit card required
  • Professional at $34.99 NZD a month for up to 1,000 contracts and 25 users
  • Unlimited at $99.99 NZD a month for unlimited contracts and unlimited users
  • Custom plans available for businesses that need SSO or localised data hosting

If drafting and negotiation were never actually your problem, that difference in cost and complexity is not a close call.

Final thoughts

Outlaw and Miova can both sit under the contract management umbrella, but they are solving different problems for different teams. Outlaw is strongest for businesses that spend real time generating and negotiating their own contracts at volume. Miova is strongest for SMEs whose real problem is visibility over what has already been signed, no matter who wrote it.

If your contracts mostly arrive rather than originate with you, and the goal is simply staying ahead of every renewal, Miova is the far more direct route there.
