Upload a contract, lease, brief or exhibit and get a structured review back in under a minute: the parties, the obligations, the dates that bind, the clauses that will cause a problem, each one pointing at the page it came from. It is one job, done properly, rather than a chat window with a legal theme on it.
The first review runs without an account. Comparing contract review vendors? See what Kira pricing, Luminance pricing and Spellbook pricing actually look like, or read our Kira alternative guide for small law firms.
Our legal automation platform doesn't just automate tasks, it understands legal context, jurisdictional nuances, and the way lawyers actually work.
Every review calls out the clauses that work against your client: indemnities that cover the other side's own negligence, one-sided termination rights, notice traps and holdover penalties, each rated high, medium or low with a plain explanation of why it matters.
Upload a contract, lease, filing or exhibit and get back a structured review: document type, parties and their roles, key dates, obligations by party, risks, key terms and the governing law, each pulled from the document itself, never guessed.
The review separates who must do what, with the clause or section reference alongside each obligation, so you can see at a glance what your client is signing up to and where in the document it says so.
Findings are traceable. Each obligation and risk carries the clause or section it came from, so you can jump straight to the source text and verify it rather than taking the summary on trust.
Rent, fees, caps, notice periods, deposits, escalations: the numbers you would otherwise hunt for are lifted out and quoted exactly as written in the document.
Download any review as a formatted PDF or as an Excel workbook with each section on its own rows, ready to drop into a file note or share with a colleague.
Upload a contract, lease, brief or exhibit and you get a structured review back in under a minute: the issues found, the clauses that create risk, the terms that are missing against a normal version of that agreement, and a page cite for each finding so you can check it against the document. It reads PDFs, Word files, plain text and scans, including counterparty paper you did not draft. Plans are published at $99 a month for 100 reviews and $299 for 500, with no seat minimum and no implementation fee.
Most of this category is quote-only, which means a demo and a procurement cycle before you learn a number. Here is the field as of September 2026, with the reported entry cost where a figure exists and a link to our sourced breakdown of each one.
| Tool | Price published | Reported entry cost | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| LegalSoul | Yes | $99 a month for 100 reviews, no seat minimum | Solos and firms of 2 to 50 that need documents read, not routed |
| Ironclad | No | About $15,000 a year floor, $40,110 median tracked deal, AI module quoted separately | Companies routing high contract volume through approvals |
| ContractPodAi (Leah) | No | Reported floor near $50,000 a year, no public purchasing data, AI modules extra | Enterprise legal, procurement and finance on one platform |
| SpotDraft | No | $25,278 median signed contract (Vendr), priced on users or contract volume | In-house teams at growth-stage companies |
| DocuSign CLM | No (IAM seats listed at $45 to $80) | $20,000 to $60,000 a year for 10 to 25 users (Vendr); redlining and AI review only on the quoted tier | Companies already standardized on Docusign and Salesforce |
| Juro | No (an estimator form) | $31,164 median signed contract (Vendr); unlimited users, priced on contract volume and integrations | Business teams creating contracts from templates |
| Luminance | No | About $42,900 implied average annual deal value, metered on document volume | In-house teams with a large contract repository |
| Kira | No | Reported $5,000 to $150,000 a year, sources disagree widely | M&A diligence and data room clause extraction |
| Spellbook | No figure on the pricing page | Reported $89 to $199 per user per month on annual terms | Lawyers who draft and redline inside Microsoft Word |
Every figure above other than our own is labeled as reported by a named third party with a date on the linked page. None of them is a quote you can hold anyone to.
Yes, for a first pass. AI contract review reads the agreement end to end, flags risky clauses, names the terms that are missing against a normal version of that contract type, and cites the page for each point. It does not replace the judgment call about whether a risk is acceptable for this client and this deal. Treat the output as a fast, thorough associate draft that a lawyer signs off on.
For a firm under 50 lawyers, the decision usually comes down to whether the tool is buyable without a procurement cycle. Ironclad, Luminance and Kira are quote-only and priced for companies with contract volume. Spellbook fits lawyers who live in Microsoft Word. A published per-month review plan fits firms whose actual job is reading counterparty documents carefully.
Accuracy depends on the tool and the task, and the profession has hard evidence that it varies. Stanford RegLab measured legal AI research tools in 2024 and found hallucination rates between 17 and 33 percent on research questions. That is why every finding here comes with a page cite: you verify against the document rather than trusting a summary, which is also what ABA Formal Opinion 512 expects of you.
A contract lifecycle management platform moves paper: intake, templates, approval routing, signature, storage and reporting on executed agreements. AI contract review reads a document and tells you what is in it and what is wrong with it. CLM vendors sell review as a module on top of the workflow, which is why a review-only need bought through a CLM quote usually costs several times more than it has to.
Under a minute for a typical commercial agreement, including scanned PDFs that need to be read as images first. Long documents take longer, and the practical limit is the size of the file rather than the number of pages you care about. There is no setup, no template configuration and no implementation project before the first document.

A general chat tool gives you prose back. This gives you the same structured review every time, read out of the document you uploaded: the parties and their roles, the dates, the obligations by side, the risks rated high, medium or low, and the key figures quoted as written. Every finding carries the clause it came from, so you can check it against the source before you rely on it.
This isn't a general-purpose AI with a legal theme. This is counsel AI built from the ground up for law firms.
One job, done the same way every run: read a contract and return its structure.
The jurisdiction clause is taken from the text of your document, not guessed.
Every finding cites the clause it came from, so you can verify it at the source.
The best AI for lawyers goes beyond simple automation. These features are what separate professional AI software for law firms from consumer tools.
PDFs, Word files, photographs and scans are all read directly, so a phone picture of a signed page is handled the same way as a native PDF.
Where the document states a jurisdiction or choice-of-law clause, it is read out and shown with the review, so you know which law the agreement says it is under.
Every document you run stays on your account, so you can come back to a review later and download it again without re-running the analysis.
Uploads are transferred over TLS and a review is visible only to your account and, on Professional and Elite, to the colleagues you add to your firm. Nothing you upload is shown to anyone else.
Simple process. Powerful results. This is how the best AI for lawyers integrates into your workflow.
Upload a contract, lease, filing or exhibit: PDF, Word, images or plain text. Uploads travel over TLS and the review is visible only to your account and the colleagues you add.
Our generative AI for law firms analyzes documents, extracts key information, identifies legal concepts, and organizes everything into searchable, structured data. This is where the magic happens.
Access the summary, the parties, the dates, the obligations by side, the rated risks and the key terms, each one tied to the clause it came from. You get the structure of the document, not more pages to read.
