Track every expiry date without building it in Zoho.
Zoho is a broad suite. Zoho Contracts is a capable full contract-lifecycle product, while Zoho Creator lets teams build a tailored tracker. Lapsewise is different: a ready-made, calm dashboard for the recurring job of keeping contracts, certificates, licenses, policies, permits and other business dates current.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Why teams switch from Zoho
Lapsewise has dedicated modules for certificates, contracts, grants, licenses, insurance, warranties, memberships, domains, inspections, permits, leases and employee documents. You add the record and its dates rather than designing forms, workflows and reports first.
A contract can require action well before its expiry date. Lapsewise supports notice periods, so the important alert is the cancellation or option deadline, not a reminder after the decision window has closed.
Zoho Contracts is designed for the whole contract lifecycle, including drafting, approval, negotiation and signature. Lapsewise deliberately does not try to be a CLM or a general app builder. It keeps owners, documents, dates and reminder status visible for teams whose main risk is something lapsing.
Lapsewise has a free plan, then Starter at $19/month and Pro at $49/month. All 12 record types are included, so a team does not need separate trackers for different types of renewal work.

Where Zoho is the better fit
We believe in honest comparisons. Zoho is the right tool if any of these apply to you.
Zoho Contracts covers creation, internal approval, negotiation, signature and renewal. If legal or procurement needs to author and negotiate contracts in the same system, Zoho Contracts is the stronger fit. Lapsewise tracks dates and documents after the agreement exists; it is not a CLM.
Zoho Creator is built for teams that want to design their own forms, workflow rules, screens and integrations. If your process is unusual enough that a standard tracker will not fit, the flexibility is worth the implementation work.
A team that already has trained administrators and connected CRM, finance or HR processes may prefer to extend its existing Zoho environment. Lapsewise is the better fit when the priority is quick adoption for renewal and expiry tracking rather than ecosystem consolidation.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lapsewise a Zoho alternative?
Lapsewise is an alternative for the specific job of tracking renewals and expiries. It is not a replacement for the full Zoho suite. Choose Lapsewise when you need a ready-made dashboard for contracts, certificates, licenses, insurance, permits and other dates. Choose Zoho when you need its broader CRM, finance, contract-lifecycle or custom-app capabilities.
Can Zoho Contracts send renewal reminders?
Yes. Zoho Contracts supports contract renewal details and reminder alerts before contract expirations. Lapsewise also sends contract renewal reminders, with a notice-period field designed to surface the earlier action deadline. It additionally tracks expiry work outside contracts, such as licenses, certificates, insurance, permits and employee documents.
Can I build an expiry tracker in Zoho Creator?
Yes. Zoho Creator can be used to build custom internal applications. The trade-off is that someone has to design the data model, forms, reminder rules, owner fields, views and maintenance process. Lapsewise provides that renewal-tracking workflow out of the box.
What does Lapsewise track that Zoho Contracts does not focus on?
Lapsewise is built to track 12 date-driven record types in one place: certificates, contracts, grants, licenses, insurance, warranties, memberships, domains, inspections, permits, leases and employee documents. Zoho Contracts is focused on contract lifecycle management.
Does Lapsewise replace Zoho CRM?
No. Lapsewise is not a CRM. It is a focused renewal and expiry tracker. Some teams use it alongside a CRM because the person responsible for a renewal, certificate or permit needs a dedicated date and reminder system rather than another sales record.
