LexDraft vs Legito
Quick Answer
Legito is the better choice if your team produces large volumes of standardized documents from templates — vendor onboarding packs, employment contracts in a fixed format, real-estate boilerplate — and you want a structured automation platform with conditional logic, intake forms, and template versioning. Originally built in the Czech Republic, Legito has strong document-automation capabilities and a configurable workflow layer. LexDraft is the better choice if you want flexible AI inside Word for drafting and reviewing the harder, less standardized contracts — where structured templates aren't enough and you need an assistant that understands the document.

Document automation platform vs Word-native AI drafting assistant
Honest Feature Comparison
Legito and LexDraft both produce contracts, but the path is different: Legito wants you to invest upfront in templates so non-lawyers can self-serve. LexDraft assumes a lawyer is in Word and uses AI to make their work faster.

When Legito is the right answer
Honest scenarios where Legito is the better fit:
You generate hundreds of nearly-identical documents
If HR generates 500 employment contracts a year that only differ in name, role, salary, and start date — Legito's template + intake-form model is exactly right. AI is overkill for that job; structured templating is the answer.
You want non-lawyers to self-serve standard documents
Legito's intake forms let sales reps or HR people fill out a guided questionnaire that generates a vetted document. LexDraft assumes a lawyer is at the keyboard.
You need template versioning and audit trails
Legito tracks who changed which template clause and when, with formal versioning. If your legal team owns a corpus of templates that get audited, this matters. LexDraft does not manage a template library.
When LexDraft is the right answer
Your contracts are too varied for rigid templates
If every MSA is negotiated and every NDA gets redlined back, a template tool isn't where the time goes. LexDraft's AI is built for the negotiation rounds — surgical edits, playbook review, clause suggestions.
You don't want to build templates first
Legito's value compounds after you invest in template authoring (which can take weeks per template). LexDraft works on any .docx you open today, no upfront work required.
You live in Word, not a browser editor
Most law firms still email .docx files. LexDraft sits in Word; Legito asks you to use its editor. If your counterparties send Word redlines, the round-trip into Legito's environment adds friction.
You want AI suggestions, not just template fills
Legito fills templates from form data. LexDraft proposes thoughtful edits ("this LOL cap is uncapped — suggest 12 months of fees"). Different mode of help.

How to switch from Legito to LexDraft (if it fits)
If you've been using Legito mostly as a template repository and the real bottleneck is the negotiated contracts that don't fit a template, LexDraft is a complementary or replacement option. If Legito is doing real self-serve work for non-lawyers, don't switch.
Export your templates from Legito to .docx
Legito supports Word export. Move your standard templates into SharePoint or a shared drive.
Install LexDraft from AppSource
Use LexDraft inside Word on your exported templates. Compare the experience against Legito's automated fills on a few real documents.
Keep Legito for the high-volume standardized documents
If HR or sales rely on Legito's intake forms to spin up vetted documents, leave that workflow in place. Use LexDraft for the negotiated contracts that Legito's templates don't cover well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — and they pair reasonably well. Legito for the high-volume, templated documents (employment offers, NDAs in a fixed format, vendor onboarding). LexDraft for the negotiated contracts that aren't a great fit for rigid templates. They don't conflict.
Not in the structured, no-code, conditional-logic sense that Legito does it. LexDraft uses generative AI to produce drafts from a prompt, but we don't have a template builder where you encode if/then logic and let non-lawyers fill out forms. If self-serve template-based generation is core to your operation, Legito is shaped for that and we're not.
LexDraft Pro for 10 seats is $11,880/year at list price. Legito's paid tiers have historically been in a similar range per seat depending on the tier — current pricing varies, so check directly. The bigger cost difference is implementation: Legito templates take real effort to author; LexDraft works on any document immediately.
Legito holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. LexDraft does not yet hold SOC 2. We use TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and at rest, and a zero-retention agreement with our model provider — your document content is not used to train models. If SOC 2 is a procurement gate, Legito clears it and we don't yet.
Not on the near-term roadmap. We've deliberately chosen to be a great drafting assistant inside Word, not a template-management platform. If you need that, Legito is one of the more mature options in the European market.
