ClearTerm vs LegalSifter

ClearTerm analyzes English-language master services agreements and services agreements from a software freelancer’s perspective. It highlights issues such as work-for-hire terms, broad intellectual-property assignment, long payment periods, and uncapped indemnity, then supplies plain-English findings and negotiation wording. Shield Mode reviews a single contract and provides a 0–100 safety score with risk classifications. Diff Mode compares two versions, assesses how changes affect risk, and counts as one scan. Users can paste text or upload selectable-text PDFs within limits: no more than 4 MB and 40 pages, and about 100,000 characters of extracted text. Scanned or photographed contracts are unsupported because the service does not perform OCR. The first scan each month requires no account; a free account includes five monthly scans, which do not roll over. ClearTerm sends contract content to Google Gemini for analysis and says uploaded files and extracted text are not retained in its own storage. It says it is not a law firm and does not replace a lawyer for high-stakes matters.

LegalSifter’s ReviewPro applies a company’s legal and risk positions to contracts and creates tracked-change drafts. Edits can include plain-English explanations and optional comments for the counterparty. ReviewPro Assistant can draft terms and make custom edits through a conversational interface. More than 100 standard playbooks are included, and users can build their own from templates, past redlines, or policy documents. Add-ins bring the product into Microsoft Word and Google Docs. The wider contract workflow includes a searchable repository, intake, ticketing, Kanban, approval workflows, obligation tracking, renewal alerts, AI contract review, native e-signature, and a workflow builder. LegalSifter says ReviewPro is hosted on AWS and is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant. The product is aimed at CFOs, COOs, and operations leads responsible for contracts; legal training is not required. Standard implementation and onboarding are included. The web product has paid annual plans, with listed prices ranging from $2,750 a year to $40,000 a year. A free trial runs for seven days and covers up to 20 contracts; it requires a company email and is limited to the US, Canada, and the European Union.
