Definely vs Contractable

Definely is a LegalTech platform built for lawyers who review complex contracts in Microsoft Word. The company offers a suite of Word add-ins that help legal teams navigate definitions, proof documents, track ripple effects from edits, search precedents, and ask questions about contract language without leaving the document.

The product grew out of a real accessibility challenge. Co-founder Feargus MacDaeid, a former Magic Circle lawyer who is registered blind, could not move through long contracts the way sighted colleagues could. Definely started as a way to reach defined terms and cross-references from inside a clause, then expanded into broader contract review workflows.

Law firms and in-house legal teams use Definely to cut review time, keep formatting consistent, and reduce risk in negotiations. The company reports more than 150 customers worldwide, including firms such as Dentons, A&O Shearman, and DLA Piper plus in-house teams at KPMG, Samsung, and BT Group.

Contractable is a legal contract generator that turns a plain-English description of your deal into a finished NDA, independent contractor agreement, or service agreement. You pick the contract type, describe what you need in one sentence, and the tool drafts the document from legal clauses sourced by its team. Revise any clause in natural language, then download the finished file as a PDF or Word document and send it to co-signers by email.

Unlike fill-in-the-blank legal template sites, Contractable writes the contract around your sentence rather than walking you through a fixed questionnaire for every document. It also stays narrow on purpose: three contract types, no attorney consultations, no LLC or trademark filings. That trade-off keeps the monthly cost below broader services like Rocket Lawyer while fitting freelancers and small teams who generate agreements regularly.

Small businesses, freelancers, and startup founders use Contractable when they need standard agreements without booking lawyer time for every hire or partnership talk. Customers include production shops hiring on-camera hosts and founders signing NDAs before investor meetings. The site reports documents valid across all 50 U.S. states and an average creation time of about three minutes.
