AI Contract Review, Drafting, and Comparison Without the Bloat

When you’re shopping for AI contract software, the AI contract tool comparison charts can get overwhelming. You see tick box after tick box, and it’s easy to feel like you should buy the tool with the most features, just in case.

A more practical way to think about the contract AI market is this: many teams end up paying for capabilities they rarely use. Vendors differentiate in important ways like workflow design, integrations, security posture, playbooks, permissions, and user experience. Under the hood, many tools draw from the same major model providers.

At goHeather, we use the best models available for the job and we regularly upgrade as better options become available. We use leading foundational models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. When a new model meaningfully improves quality or speed, we adopt it.

The Feature Match-Up: The Essentials Are Covered

If you’re comparing tools built primarily for large law firms or enterprise legal departments, you’re probably looking for workflows that make contract work faster and more consistent. goHeather is designed to cover the core contract workflows most teams rely on, while keeping the experience straightforward for smaller teams and non-lawyers.

goHeather Standard Features

  • Privacy first with robust security measures, including zero data retention and no training on customer data
  • Rapid redlining and clause-level comparison against custom playbooks or common law and industry standards within Word or PDF
  • Integrated e-signatures for enterprise clients, so there is no need for a third-party tool
  • High-accuracy clause extraction
  • Strong benchmarked scores among peers
  • Custom branding so every contract looks like your company, not ours
  • Smart variable fields to reduce manual entry and errors
  • Agentic workflows where AI can draft for users
  • Negotiation-focused workflows with one-click edits where appropriate
  • DIY playbooks in minutes, or ingest attorney-drafted and approved contracts to create playbooks for consistent review
  • Seat and role-based permissions and versions to control who sees what, when, and where
  • No required sales cycle to get started, start instantly, and join us for a demo, onboarding, or training if you prefer
  • Works directly in MS Word and PDFs, with browser access as well

The Power Under the Hood: Familiar Models, Purpose-Built Workflows

Many modern legal tech tools rely on the same leading model providers. Where tools differ is how they package that power through the workflows, guardrails, review experience, and integrations that fit your team.

goHeather focuses on small and mid-sized teams, often non-lawyers in finance, sales, or ops, who need practical contract review, drafting, and comparison without a heavy implementation. That is also why we price below $100 per organization per month.

goHeather delivers three product workflows designed for small and medium-sized business teams, offering high-powered AI capabilities without added complexity.

1. AI Contract Review

We believe contract review should be fast, guided, and easy to act on. That is why we use a chat-optional Red Light and Green Light approach.

How it works: the AI scans your document and highlights risks with a simple visual signal, with or without playbooks. Our playbooks can be created in seconds so you can reflect your business context.

Flexible: prefer a conversational approach? You can still use AI chat when you want a deeper dive.

2. AI Contract Drafting

Stop staring at a blank page. goHeather can generate robust agreements quickly.

From scratch: tell us what you need, answer a few questions, and we draft it.

With context: upload existing documents or templates, and we draft new contracts based on your context and history.

3. AI Contract Comparison

Version control should not slow down a deal.

Instant clarity: automated redlines show what changed across up to ten versions of a negotiated contract.

AI summaries: see the changes and understand them. Summaries highlight key differences so you can focus on what matters.

The One Thing We Don’t Have (And Why That Can Be a Plus)

There is one acronym that comes up often in legal tech: CLM, or Contract Lifecycle Management.

CLM platforms can be a great fit for organizations managing large volumes of contracts, renewals, approvals, and long-term obligations across multiple departments. But for many smaller teams, full CLM can be more than they need.

goHeather does not include CLM.

Why? Many organizations prioritize drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and signing contracts quickly and consistently without a long rollout.

  • CLM can require heavier implementation, including setup, onboarding, and training
  • CLM can add cost if you are paying for lifecycle features you will not use day to day
  • CLM can be unnecessary if you do not need deep lifecycle tracking over many years

Bonus: We Don’t Have Litigation Tools Either

Some legal tech platforms also offer AI litigation tools. goHeather does not, because we focus on the contract workflows our customers use most: drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and comparing agreements.

The goHeather Advantage

By focusing on the workflows most teams actually use, goHeather is designed to be:

  1. Faster: get up and running in minutes, not months
  2. Cleaner: a UI designed for everyday teams, not only legal power users
  3. Better value: pay for what you use, without an enterprise feature tax
