ContractKen

What ContractKen is

ContractKen provides software for reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts, with a way to turn agreements into operational business intelligence. It works as an AI sidekick inside Microsoft Word: during review, it identifies and explains problematic contract language against a customer's playbook and can redline that language. For drafting, users can draw on their own precedents, termsheets, and clause library. The library contains more than 700 commercial contract clauses and can also include customer-owned clauses. The Word add-in includes formatting and proofreading capabilities. Listed functions include clause extraction, risk identification, term comparison, and OCR support. ContractKen is available as an extension and on the web. Custom workflow integrations can include iManage, while enterprise single sign-on supports Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace. For regulated teams, private deployment can place inference inside the customer's Azure tenant or VPC. ContractKen says customer documents, prompts, and outputs are not used to train or fine-tune public or shared models. It states that data is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 at rest. The maker says it is acquiring SOC 2 certification, aligns with ISO 27001/27701 controls, and supports GDPR and CCPA/CPRA obligations. The Word Add-in plan is $149.00 per month billed monthly; the listed paid-from price is $119/user/mo annual, and a 14-day trial is offered.

Who it suits

ContractKen suits legal and business teams that review or draft agreements in Microsoft Word and want contract language checked against internal playbooks. Its private deployment option and enterprise sign-on integrations may also fit highly regulated teams.

Limits

There is no free plan. The listed Word Add-in plan costs $149.00 per month billed monthly and includes unlimited review and redlining; the Custom AI & Workflow option is an 8–12 week proof of concept with usage and customization included in its fee.
