AI contract review that reads every clause — in under 2 minutes
Upload any contract. Get a plain-English breakdown of red flags, missing protections, one-sided terms, and a ready-to-send negotiation email. No credit card, no subscription.
What our AI contract review catches
Trained on thousands of NDAs, SaaS agreements, MSAs, employment offers, and vendor contracts.
Unlimited indemnity, unilateral changes, auto-renewals, punitive termination — flagged with severity and rationale.
Liability caps, IP ownership, data-processing clauses, force majeure — we tell you what should be there and isn't.
See exactly who the contract favours: customer vs vendor, employer vs employee, investor vs sponsor.
One number for the boardroom, plus a category breakdown (legal, financial, operational, compliance).
Would Legal approve? Procurement? CFO? Each persona gets a MET/NOT MET verdict with evidence.
Generate a negotiation email or clause-by-clause redline you can send back the same day.

Risk score, red flags, missing protections, negotiation matrix, and a plain-English executive summary.
Specialist playbooks per contract type
Generic AI review misses domain-specific traps. We ship a tuned playbook for each of the contracts our users see most.
AI contract review vs a human lawyer
| ContractScan AI | Traditional lawyer | |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | ~90 seconds | 2–5 business days |
| Cost per review | Free first scan, then a few dollars | $300–$1,500+ |
| Consistency | Identical checklist every time | Varies by associate |
| Redline draft | Auto-generated | Billed hourly |
| Strategic judgement | Good for pattern-matching | Essential for high-stakes deals |
Best practice: run every contract through AI review first, then send only the flagged clauses to your attorney. You cut legal spend by 60–80% without losing the human judgement where it matters.
Frequently asked questions
What is AI contract review?+
AI contract review uses a large language model trained on legal patterns to read a contract end-to-end, flag risky or missing clauses, score each party's exposure, and suggest concrete negotiation edits — in minutes instead of the days a manual attorney review takes.
Is AI contract review as accurate as a human lawyer?+
For pattern-matching (missing caps, one-sided indemnities, auto-renewal traps, IP assignments, arbitration overreach) modern AI matches junior-associate accuracy. For strategic judgement — jurisdiction strategy, deal-specific carve-outs, litigation posture — a licensed attorney is still the right call. Use AI to catch the 80% that's mechanical and free your lawyer's time for the 20% that isn't.
Which contract types does ContractScan support?+
NDAs, employment agreements, SaaS / subscription terms, MSAs, service and consulting agreements, vendor contracts, real-estate JVs, investment / SAFE / SHA documents, partnership agreements, and Chinese supplier / OEM agreements — with playbooks tuned per type.
How long does an AI contract review take?+
Most contracts complete in 60–120 seconds. Long documents (50+ pages) or scans requiring OCR may take up to 4 minutes.
Is my contract data safe?+
Yes. Contracts are processed in memory, never used to train models, and purged within 24 hours. Reports are private to your account.
Do I need a credit card to try it?+
No. Your first contract review is free. Additional reviews use pay-as-you-go credits that never expire — no subscription.
