Compare a vendor draft with your baseline contract
Upload both contracts. Grant prepares a structured view of material deviations, risk-relevant changes, and questions for human review.
Every renewal and every vendor draft arrives with changes. Some are obvious. Most are not. Teams scroll between two PDFs, line by line, trying to spot what moved, what disappeared, and what was quietly added. It takes hours. It misses things. And when a silent change slips through, the cost is real.
Scrolling between two PDFs is not a comparison
Side-by-side manual review catches formatting changes but misses the subtle shifts in liability, termination rights, and payment terms that actually matter.
Renewals arrive with silent changes
Vendors update pricing, shift liability, or tighten termination clauses between contract cycles. Without a structured diff, these changes go unnoticed until they cost you.
No structured way to track deviations
Even when someone catches a change, there is no consistent format to document it. Risk context is missing. The finding lives in someone's head or a sticky note.
Vendor drafts diverge from your standards
You have baseline terms for a reason. But checking every vendor draft against those terms manually is slow enough that teams skip it — or skim it.

How does the contract comparison work?
Upload two documents — your baseline and the vendor draft. Grant compares them and presents detected deviations with risk prioritization and plain-language explanations.
What file types are supported?
PDF and DOCX. You can mix formats — for example, compare a PDF vendor draft against your DOCX baseline.
Can it compare contracts of different lengths?
Yes. Grant compares clauses by meaning rather than page position. Review the result carefully when document length, formatting, or structure differs substantially.
How is this different from a regular diff tool?
Text diff tools show word-level changes without context. Grant understands contract language — it tells you what changed, whether the change increases your risk, and what to negotiate.
Do I need legal expertise to understand the results?
No. Detected deviations are explained in plain language, but a qualified reviewer remains responsible for legal interpretation and negotiation decisions.
Can I try it free?
The free contract analyser reviews one contract. Contract comparison is available through Grant's dedicated comparison workflow.

AI-powered contract comparison provides decision support and does not replace qualified legal advice. Risk scores provide guidance only; regulatory applicability varies by jurisdiction.
