ClauseShield vs Refolia

ClauseShield is a web-based contract analysis service for freelancers and independent contractors. It identifies eight clause types, including payment, termination, intellectual property ownership, liability, NDA, non-compete, and kill-fee clauses, then supplies risk scores, plain-English explanations, and suggested redlines. The maker says it checks more than 70 risk patterns and reports an F1 score of 0.9574 for its fine-tuned Legal-BERT model, trained on more than 40,000 legal clauses. It accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files; scanned PDFs and images can be processed with OCR. Uploads are limited to 100 MB and 20 pages. Results can be exported as a redlined DOCX, PDF risk report, plain-text summary, or searchable six-sheet Excel workbook. The free plan covers three contracts per month. Pro costs $15 a month for 15 contracts, and Premium costs $29 a month for unlimited contracts. The maker describes the output as educational information, not tailored legal advice or a substitute for counsel.

Refolia is web-based contract analysis software for teams that review and negotiate agreements. It scores individual clauses from 0–100, labels their risk from low to critical, and explains those labels in plain English. Users upload PDF or DOCX files up to 50MB, extract clauses, and generate redline-ready rewrites in protective, balanced, or aggressive tones. A flagged clause can become a negotiation email containing a position, legal reasoning, and alternative language. Reusable clause templates and version history support team revisions. Reviewed agreements can be sent to DocuSign for signature. Refolia says analysis and drafting run on its own cloud infrastructure, uploads are not sent to third-party AI providers or used to train models, and account controls include two-factor authentication, roles, and administrative IP restrictions. Document actions and administrative changes are logged, while signed agreements remain unchanged when revisions are made. Plans are paid, with a free trial and Starter, Professional, and Enterprise options.
