eForms vs Gavel

eForms provides printable and fillable legal forms that users customize by answering questions, then print, download, or email. Its library includes real estate documents such as leases and deeds, as well as estate-planning documents such as wills and living trusts. Completed forms can be downloaded as Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, or Open Document Text files. Blank templates are available to download without an account or billing information. Listed plan features include unlimited printing, PDF/Word/ODT export, regularly updated forms, and forms suited to state laws. The web service is intended for families, legal professionals, and entrepreneurs. Pro Monthly starts with a seven-day free trial and renews at $49 per month after the trial. Pro Annual costs $12 per month, billed as $144 upfront for one year. A single-document option has a variable one-time charge and allows unlimited access and revisions to that document. Lawyer Chat provides general legal information through automated tools and independent third-party legal experts. eForms says it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; its support agents cannot answer legal questions.

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.
