Waiting for contract
What Plainspeak catches
Real clauses we've found in real contracts. The kind of thing buried on page 7 that you'd never read but would absolutely sign.
Freelance Contract
"Contractor assigns to Company all rights, title, and interest in any Inventions in perpetuity, including those developed outside the scope of this Agreement..."
Translation: Anything you build — even on weekends, even unrelated to this client — they own. Forever.
Apartment Lease
"Tenant agrees that Landlord may enter the premises at any time without prior notice for purposes Landlord deems reasonable..."
Translation: Your landlord can walk in whenever they want. This violates law in most states — but if you sign it, you've waived your right to push back.
Vendor NDA
"Recipient shall indemnify Disclosing Party against all damages, costs, and attorney fees arising from any breach, alleged or actual..."
Translation: If they accuse you of leaking info — even falsely — you pay their legal bills. Just for being accused.
Employment Offer
"Employee shall not, for a period of seven (7) years following termination, engage in any business activity competitive with the Company..."
Translation: A 7-year non-compete. Most states cap these at 1-2 years. This is unenforceable in many places, but designed to scare you out of leaving.
How your contract is handled
- Never stored. Your contract text is sent for analysis once and never written to a database. There is no database.
- Files processed in your browser. PDFs and DOCX files are parsed locally — only the extracted text is sent for analysis.
- OCR runs locally too. Scanned PDFs are processed in your browser using Tesseract. The image never leaves your device.
- Not used for training. Anthropic's API does not train on input from this service.
- No account, no tracking pixel for content. We don't know what you uploaded. We can't read it later.
- You control what you paste. If a contract has personal data you'd rather not share, redact it before pasting. We recommend it.
Common questions
Is this just ChatGPT with a paywall?
No. Plainspeak uses Anthropic's Claude (a different AI model) with a custom prompt specifically engineered for contract analysis. The system prompt is what makes the difference — it knows what to flag, how to rank severity, and how to phrase pushback points usefully. You could try to get similar output from a generic chatbot, but you'd spend an hour and probably miss the structured output.
Can I trust this for important contracts?
Plainspeak is a first-pass tool, not legal advice. It's designed to help you understand what a contract says and identify questions worth asking before signing. For high-stakes contracts (employment with significant equity, major real estate purchases, business acquisitions), a licensed attorney is non-negotiable. For everyday contracts where hiring a lawyer would cost more than the contract is worth, Plainspeak is exactly what you need.
What if the analysis misses something?
Honest answer: AI analysis can miss subtle clauses, especially in unusually-formatted documents or documents with significant OCR errors. We show you the extracted text before payment so you can verify input quality. If the analysis isn't useful, the 24-hour refund applies — no questions asked.
What languages are supported?
Currently English-language contracts only. Non-English text will return an error. We may add other languages later if there's demand.
Why $9?
It's the price where this is obviously worth it for a contract you'd actually sign. A lawyer's hourly rate is $200-500. A contract review service is $200-1500. For a one-page freelance NDA, none of those are practical. $9 makes the math easy.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If the analysis isn't useful, email us at the address below within 24 hours and we'll refund you. No form, no questions. We track refund requests but don't argue about them.
