The short answer
fynk's means lead on four criteria — authoring and templates (5.7 vs 3.0), negotiation and approval (7.2 vs 5.8), pricing transparency (6.3 vs 2.2, with ContractHero's tiers priced 'Auf Anfrage'), and sovereignty (6.0 vs 4.5) — six judges lean fynk on each. ContractHero's one lean is AI extraction control (4.8 vs 4.0; five judges, one tie), its verdict crediting a documented pipeline and a jump-to-source link on every AI-filled value. Elsewhere the benches split: repository and obligations sits 6.8 to 6.5 with four ties and two leans to fynk; integration and exit is 7.2 to 6.7, three leaning fynk, three tying. Weighted totals run 5.8–6.3 for fynk against 4.9–5.4 for ContractHero. Both list EU-only data residency; ContractHero's legal entity jurisdiction is DE, while its verdict weighs German hosting against AI and OCR providers the captured pages do not name, and fynk's verdict cites German hosting and a published subprocessor list.
