DraftRight vs Gavel

DraftRight is a UK-focused legal AI platform for disputes, contracts, and documents, offered through web and API access. Its Plan tool outlines legal issues, cites UK law, rates exposure, and suggests documents and next steps. The Agreement Builder extracts parties, agreed terms, obligations, and deadlines from a negotiation recording to draft a numbered UK agreement. Contract analysis reviews contracts, emails, or recordings, scores risks against UK standards, and links findings to legislation. Guided questions and UK templates support document generation with legislation references; documents can be exported as DOCX or PDF. Business workflows cover invoice scanning, bulk document generation, contract analysis, and HR document packs. Listed integrations or compatible outputs include Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, SAP, and Excel/CSV. Free access allows one watermarked document per month and three daily transcriptions limited to 10 minutes, but no AI credits. Paid plans range from £6.99 once to £5,000 a month. DraftRight says uploaded files are deleted within about 24 hours unless retained, and document text is encrypted at rest.

Gavel offers two legal software products: Gavel Exec for AI contract review and drafting, and Gavel Workflows for automating legal documents. Exec works in Microsoft Word and online, where it can review, redline or draft contracts, apply playbooks, compare terms with market data and explain changes. Workflows converts client intake answers and templates into Word documents and PDFs using structured workflows. Listed integrations include Clio, Zapier, DocuSign and Stripe; API access is available on higher tiers. Gavel says its products are designed for transactional attorneys, law firms and legal teams. Exec is SOC 2 Type II certified. Gavel also says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, undergoes regular third-party security testing, and that Exec has zero-retention commitments with AI providers. Workflows plans have tier-specific workflow and usage limits. Lite costs $83 a month, while Scale costs $417 a year. Exec has a free trial with 25 queries per user; its paid plan costs $160 a month or $1740 per user billed annually.
