Ranked by Security and data handling, then Workflow fit, then Estimated price, within each type of tool. [How we rank](https://legalaiverdict.com/methodology/#how-do-we-rank-tools)

We rank only by criteria assessed for every tool on the list, and only tools of the same type against each other. No placement can be bought.

## What counts as a contract review tool here?

A tool is in this category when its vendor documents that it reviews contracts, compares versions or supports negotiation, for example by checking terms against a playbook. General AI assistants are used for this through prompts and their legal workflows; legal AI platforms describe features built for it, such as review against a team’s own standards.

## How are these tools ranked?

Within each type of tool, by data handling first, then by how well the tool fits into the work (Word, Outlook and document management), then by estimated price, cheapest first. These are the criteria assessed for every tool on the list. No published benchmark we use measures the quality of the review itself.
