ClauseBase vs Pathagoras

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.

Pathagoras is a Windows add-in for Microsoft Word that assembles and automates documents from existing clauses, forms, and other text. It does not require programming or hidden fields: users mark variables with square brackets and optional text with curly braces. Instant Database identifies bracketed variables for replacement and can save personal data records for reuse. PathSmart and SaveSmart provide folder access and tools for saving, moving, deleting, and naming documents. Listed external data sources include CSV, TSV, Excel, Outlook contacts, SQL Server, and MySQL. The software offers quick access to up to three external databases, and some sources may need export to Excel or delimited files. Networking tools for sharing libraries and profiles, plus messaging, are available with purchases of at least three licenses. A purchased license allows installation on one main computer and one secondary computer owned by the user; secondary use is not typically simultaneous. The free trial lasts 90 days and includes customer service. Subscription pricing is $25 a month for one user; one-time options include Individual at 379.00 USD and Network Bundle at 799.00 USD.
