Gavel vs Refolia

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.

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.
