Gatekeeper: cost, fit and limits
Gatekeeper is a contract and vendor management platform that brings third-party onboarding, contract authoring, renewal tracking and AI agents into one system for procurement and legal teams; its legal entity is not stated on the pages read.
What to know first
Gatekeeper sells Pro, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus by quote, with tiers sized by the number of third parties: up to 250, up to 750 and more than 750. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, RBAC and balanced scorecards, and Enterprise Plus adds an MCP Connector and sensitive-data controls. The page describes more than 50 AI agents, unlimited on all plans. The free offer is a demo, not a trial.

Who Gatekeeper is best for
Procurement teams managing many suppliers
Tiers count third parties, and the Vendor Onboarding Portal covers onboarding, assessments and ongoing vendor management in one place. A longer supplier tail pushes a company into a higher tier.
Companies on NetSuite
A native two-way sync covers vendor records, contracts and spend, which keeps finance data aligned with contract data. Finance and procurement then work from the same vendor record instead of two spreadsheets.
Teams needing role-based access at scale
Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM and RBAC for companies that provision users centrally and need controlled access to vendor contracts. Balanced scorecards on the same tier score every vendor the same way.

What Gatekeeper does
- Vendor Onboarding Portal
- A single portal covers onboarding, assessments and ongoing vendor management, so supplier due diligence and contracts share one record that procurement and legal can both open.
- Renewal Management
- Flags renewals before they auto-renew, which gives procurement time to renegotiate or cancel instead of discovering the renewal after the fact, when options are limited.
- Contract authoring
- Contracts are authored from approved templates and clause libraries, with due-diligence findings built into the draft, so the supplier assessment travels with the agreement and reviewers see the risk.
- Employee Portal intake
- Guided intake collects internal contract and vendor requests from employees, and AI extracts metadata from uploaded documents, which reduces manual data entry by the procurement team.
- AI vendor and contract review
- AI reviews vendors against SOC 2, DORA and ESG, and AI contract review flags exceptions during redlining; more than 50 agents are described, unlimited on all plans per the page.
How Gatekeeper handles your data
No data-handling statement could be read for Gatekeeper. The privacy policy and security pages returned HTTP 404 when opened, so retention periods, hosting region, certifications and any AI training position are not stated on the pages read. The pricing page is the only page with product detail and it mentions SOC 2, DORA and ESG only as standards that the AI vendor review checks suppliers against. It does not say that Gatekeeper itself holds them. Anyone evaluating the platform should ask in writing for the legal entity, data processing agreement, hosting region, certifications and AI training terms.
Where Gatekeeper falls short in practice
- Tiers keyed to third parties. The number of third parties sets the tier, so a company with a long supplier tail will land in a higher tier than its contract volume suggests.
- Only a demo is free. No trial is mentioned, and MarketIQ Full is usage-based. A buyer cannot try the product before talking to sales. A buyer cannot try the product before talking to sales, and the page does not state a pilot length.
- Missing legal and security pages. The legal entity, headquarters, data handling and certifications could not be read, which is a gap for regulated buyers. That is a gap for regulated buyers, who should ask for the entity and security documents first.

Alternatives to Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper: common questions
How are Gatekeeper tiers defined?
By the number of third parties. Pro covers up to 250, Enterprise up to 750 and Enterprise Plus more than 750. Each tier links to Book a demo and no amounts are shown. Count your active suppliers before the call, because that figure decides the tier more than your contract count does.
Does Gatekeeper offer a free trial?
No trial is mentioned on the pages read. The free offer is a demo, with the pricing page inviting visitors to book a free demo of Gatekeeper. MarketIQ Full is described as usage-based. Ask for a pilot with your own supplier list if you want to test onboarding and renewal alerts.
What does the Gatekeeper MCP Connector do?
The pricing page lists an MCP Connector on Enterprise Plus and says nothing else about it. It presumably lets outside AI tools reach contract data, but the pages read do not confirm which actions are allowed. Ask for the permission model and which AI clients are supported.
Is Gatekeeper a good fit for sales contracts?
Its pages focus on vendors, third parties, onboarding portals, scorecards and renewals, so it looks designed for procurement and supplier contracts. Contract authoring from templates and clause libraries is listed, but customer-side sales workflows are not described. Compare it with sales-oriented tools if that is your main need.
Where does Gatekeeper store its data?
Not stated. The privacy policy and security pages returned HTTP 404, and the pricing page does not name a hosting region, retention period or certification. Ask for the legal entity, a data processing agreement and the hosting region in writing before you load supplier contracts.
