ClauseBase vs Clio Draft

ClauseBase provides legal drafting and review tools for creating, refining and checking documents, including tools within Microsoft Word. ClauseBuddy can turn a template or document into an interactive questionnaire that generates customized, consistent documents. Its AI review and proofreading tools identify risks, errors and inconsistencies. Clause Finder lets teams build searchable clause libraries and insert stored clauses into Word documents. ClauseBuddy is available as Word and Outlook add-ins and as a standalone web application. Listed integrations include iManage, Contractify, Corporify, Google Maps, company database lookups, drag-and-drop and API options. ClauseBase says it is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Its production servers are hosted in Germany, with hourly encrypted database backups stored in Paris. For typical questionnaire templates, business data sent to generate a PDF or DOCX is deleted within 60 to 120 seconds. The company says it does not use customer data to train or fine-tune its own AI models. Its focus is drafting, not contract storage or archiving, and it does not supply its own ready-made legal templates. Pricing is available by contacting ClauseBase.

Clio Draft is a web-based legal document automation service that uses AI to collect client information and prepare documents. Its AI can turn Microsoft Word files into reusable fillable templates, while document sets let users populate related forms for one case together. Online questionnaires gather client details, map answers to templates, and can adapt based on responses. The service includes thousands of fillable PDF court forms covering all 50 U.S. states, including state, county, and federal immigration forms. Built-in e-signatures let clients sign from any device; Clio describes this capability as federally compliant. Clio Manage can pass client and matter details into Draft templates. Documents are editable in a browser and downloadable as PDF or Word files. Clio says cloud documents use encryption, automatic backups, and two-factor authentication. Its Trust Centre lists GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and TX-RAMP materials. Pricing is on request and includes onboarding, live training, and phone, email, and chat support described as available 24/5.
