Refolia vs ThoughtRiver

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.

ThoughtRiver is an AI contract review tool for agreements reviewed before or after signing. Its Lexible LLM flags issues, obligations, and risks, while Playbooks check contracts against preset criteria and show which provisions are met or unmet. Teams can generate review output or redlines, and generative editing is designed to follow drafting style and negotiation guidelines. Contracts can be submitted by email, drag and drop, or the Word add-in; the platform works inside Outlook, Word, and Teams. Listed integrations include Microsoft 365, Power BI, HighQ, and iManage, and ThoughtRiver provides a public API following the OpenAPI Specification. It focuses on in-house teams and law firms processing over 200 agreements per year, while also supporting non-legal teams. ThoughtRiver lists no free plan and a 28-day trial. Monthly plans are 6.00 USD, 14.00 USD, and $49 a month; Professional starts at £15,000 a year and Enterprise at £30,000 a year.
