Overview

A Word-native AI product for commercial contract review and drafting. Official pages describe redlines against your standards, drafting in Word, and vendor confidentiality controls. Pricing is not published as a self-serve checkout list.

Key features

  • Official product works directly in Microsoft Word
  • Homepage describes intake, review/redline, and signed-contract search
  • Vendor states zero data retention so LLM providers do not train on customer data
  • Trust center lists SOC 2 Type II plus other vendor compliance resources

Trial checklist

Use a non-confidential or fully sanitized agreement. Compare first-pass redline quality, playbook fit, Word add-in friction, and export ownership. Ask sales for current retention, training, and SOC/HIPAA terms in writing before a live-matter pilot.

Pricing

Official sources checked 2026-08-26

Current official summary: Spellbook’s official homepage does not publish a self-serve consumer price list. Official comparison materials describe custom per-seat annual subscriptions. No unverified dollar figure is reported as a list price.

Open verification questions
  • Exact per-seat USD pricing is quote-specific and was not listed on the official homepage.
  • Zero-retention and training statements should be confirmed in the current DPA/contract, not only marketing copy.
  • HIPAA/SOC/GDPR resources on the trust center are vendor-published, not independently certified here.

Official homepage describes Word-native contract review and drafting, intake-to-signed-contract search, and a zero-retention statement that LLM providers do not train on or store customer data. A public trust center lists SOC 2 Type II and other vendor compliance resources. Treat those as vendor claims to verify in contract review.

Does Spellbook train on my contracts?

Official homepage language says LLM providers never learn from, train on, or store your data under a zero-retention model. Confirm the current contract and plan, not a marketing sentence, before loading client paper.

Is it legal advice?

No. Spellbook drafts and redlines. The lawyer still owns the mark-up, negotiation judgment, and advice to the client.
