LexDraft vs Agiloft
Quick Answer
These products solve different problems. Agiloft is a no-code Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform — built around extreme customization, custom approval workflows, and a long-standing reputation in enterprise legal ops (founded 1991, Gartner Magic Quadrant leader). LexDraft is a Word add-in for AI drafting and review — clause-level edits, attorney-authored playbooks, citation verification. If you need a configurable system to route, store, and report on every contract, Agiloft is in a different product category. If you need to draft and review the document itself, that's LexDraft.

When Agiloft is the right answer
Genuine scenarios where Agiloft is the better fit:
Your contract workflow is unusual and needs to be modeled
Agiloft's selling point is the no-code workflow builder. If your approval process has 11 stages, conditional branches based on contract value, and integrations with your ERP and procurement system, Agiloft is purpose-built for that.
You need a CLM for government or regulated industries
Agiloft offers a FedRAMP-authorized deployment, and is widely used in defense, healthcare, and financial-services environments where audit and compliance are first-class concerns.
You need post-signature obligation tracking at scale
Renewals, SLA reporting, MFN tracking, audit-rights windows. CLM concerns LexDraft doesn't address. If your GC's main risk is missing a renewal window, that's Agiloft territory.
When LexDraft is the right answer
Your contract volume doesn't justify a CLM
A 5-lawyer firm or a 50-person company doing a few hundred contracts a year doesn't need Agiloft. The implementation cost alone would dwarf the value. LexDraft Pro at $99/user/month is the right shape.
The bottleneck is producing good drafts, not routing them
CLM workflow doesn't help the lawyer staring at a section 7 trying to figure out a fair indemnification cap. LexDraft is built for exactly that moment — playbook checks, clause suggestions, surgical edits.
You already have a CLM (or SharePoint) and just need drafting AI
LexDraft runs as a Word task pane and outputs plain .docx files. It doesn't try to be a system of record. If your contracts already live in Agiloft, SharePoint, or anywhere else, that's fine — keep them there.

Pricing not publicly disclosed. Industry conversations consistently place Agiloft annual contracts in the $40K–$200K+ range depending on user count, modules (AI Core, Contract Assistant, etc.), and implementation scope.
Note: Implementation services are a meaningful add-on for Agiloft. Budget accordingly.
Migration guidance: this isn't a migration
LexDraft is not a replacement for Agiloft. The realistic frame is "add LexDraft alongside Agiloft" — use Agiloft for the workflow and repository, use LexDraft for the drafting itself.
Install LexDraft from AppSource
No interaction with your Agiloft deployment. Works as a Word task pane.
Draft and redline in Word
When a contract leaves Agiloft for negotiation rounds, lawyers use LexDraft in Word for clause-level review and edits.
Upload the final .docx back to Agiloft
Agiloft remains the system of record. Routing, signature, repository, renewals all stay where they are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — and this is the realistic setup for any team that has already deployed Agiloft. LexDraft handles drafting and clause-level AI inside Word. Agiloft handles workflow, approvals, repository, renewals, and reporting. They operate on different stages of the contract lifecycle.
No. We're not a CLM. No request intake, no approval routing, no repository, no renewal tracking. If you need a CLM, Agiloft is one of the strongest options, particularly for unusual or regulated workflows.
LexDraft Pro for 20 seats is $23,760/year. Agiloft for the same headcount typically runs $50K–$120K/year depending on modules and implementation. The two products solve different problems — if you need a CLM, the comparison is to other CLMs, not to LexDraft.
Honest answer: Agiloft holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and offers a FedRAMP-authorized tier for US government deployments. LexDraft does not currently hold SOC 2. We use TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and at rest, and we have a zero-retention agreement with our model provider (your document content is not used to train models). If SOC 2 or FedRAMP is a hard procurement gate, Agiloft clears it and we don't yet.
For in-document drafting and clause-level redlines, LexDraft's surgical edits and CourtListener citation verification are features Agiloft AI Core doesn't currently match. But Agiloft AI lives where the contract lives — inside the workflow, with context about counterparty and approval state. They can coexist.
