Checkbox vs Contract Express

Checkbox organizes how legal requests enter, move through and reach resolution for in-house legal teams. Requests can come from email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, forms and other channels, then AI classifies and routes them. Matter management keeps documents, conversations, tasks, approvals, ownership, status and deadlines together. Legal teams can create no-code workflows for routing requests, assigning tasks and tracking progress. An AI Agent answers routine legal questions from approved policies and directs employees to self-service tools or the appropriate workflow. Listed integrations include Gmail/Outlook, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Ironclad and Ivo. Native connectors, webhooks and REST APIs support custom connections, with API keys or OAuth for standard integrations. Checkbox lists encryption, patching, antivirus scanning, intrusion detection, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning. It states that it completed a SOC 2 Type II examination and is ISO 27001 certified, with ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 compliance. Pricing is provided on request through an Order, and the software is for business use, not consumers.

Contract Express is Thomson Reuters software for assembling standardized legal documents from templates. Its web-based service guides users through questionnaires, document previews, workflows and task management, with pre-automated precedents. It can generate questionnaire forms from information in a template, while AI-assisted authoring uses natural-language processing to answer questions and offer drafting guidance. Small corporate legal departments can use it to create contracts, route approvals and collect e-signatures. Contract Express Author, an add-in for Microsoft Word 2013 and later, turns Word documents into templates; integrations also include Microsoft Excel and iSheets. The product runs on the web, Windows and macOS, and exports DOCX and PDF. A subscription includes pre-automated and best-practice templates from Practical Law. Chat is available to cloud customers on version 9.15 and above, but not in on-premises production environments. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is listed.
