Definely

Definely is a contract-focused suite for legal teams drafting and reviewing complex agreements in Word. It suits firms and in-house departments that need defined-term navigation, document checks, change analysis, and precedent reuse in one workflow. Its range is useful for recurring contract work, but the English-and-Swedish language limit and custom pricing make it a narrower choice for multilingual or price-sensitive teams.

Overview

Definely brings several contract tasks together: navigating defined terms, proofreading, analyzing the impact of changes, asking questions about contract language, and finding reusable precedent. That breadth is valuable when a team wants these jobs connected to its document workflow; it is less compelling if only one isolated task needs attention.

Workflow integrations include Microsoft Word, iManage, NetDocuments, and SharePoint. Its Trust Centre lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and Cyber Essentials among its compliance items. Definely reports that its 2026 penetration test found no critical, high, or medium-severity vulnerabilities. These credentials may support an organization's security assessment, but do not replace checking its own requirements.

Key features

Navigate and check contract language

Read surfaces defined terms and cross-references and lets users edit them without leaving the clause in progress. Its Definitions Report identifies defined, undefined, and unused terms across a contract, giving reviewers a way to spot terminology gaps and clutter beyond their immediate clause.

Proof automates checks for incomplete information, inconsistent formatting, and spacing issues. It can help catch mechanical problems during review, though its usefulness depends on the document being in a supported language.

Analyze changes and find precedent

Cascade uses AI-powered impact analysis to identify clauses, definitions, and references that may be affected by a change. That can help reviewers follow a change beyond the edited passage; teams should still assess the affected provisions in context.

Enhance accepts natural-language questions about contracts and refers to clauses and definitions in its responses. Vault searches a connected document management system for relevant precedent clauses and provisions, making it more useful to teams with an established document repository than to those without one. Definely also supports clause comparison and redline suggestions.

Pricing

Definely uses custom pricing. Products can be trialled or purchased through an account, and enterprise plans and customised pilots are available. Mac users can start a free 14-day trial. The trial length is clear, but there is no published price or seat allowance to compare against a team's budget before making an inquiry.

There are no published lower-tier plans or free-plan caps to weigh against a paid package. Product downloads include access to a support hub with training videos, guides, and reference sheets; pilots may include tailored onboarding and live training. Enterprise customers can receive dedicated support to help with adoption.

Platforms

Definely is available on macOS, Windows, and the web. Its supported file formats include Microsoft Word and PDF. Draft and Proof work in English and Swedish; the maker does not purport to support documents drafted in other languages, a significant constraint for teams handling multilingual agreements.

Who it's for

Definely is aimed at law firms and in-house legal teams. The founders say they developed it after encountering difficulties navigating complex contracts, including accessibility needs related to visual impairment. The combination of in-context navigation and document checks may suit teams dealing with dense agreements, while its integrations are most relevant to organizations using the connected document systems.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Read, Proof, Cascade, Enhance, and Vault cover distinct contract tasks in one suite, from terminology checks to precedent search.
• Pros: Integrations with Word, iManage, NetDocuments, and SharePoint fit common document workflows.
• Pros: A free 14-day Mac trial and pilot onboarding options give teams ways to evaluate adoption.
• Cons: English and Swedish support for Draft and Proof rules out documents drafted in other languages.
• Cons: Custom pricing gives buyers no published price or seat terms for an initial comparison.
• Cons: Vault's precedent search depends on a connected document management system.

Verdict

Definely is a strong fit for law firms and in-house teams that want connected tools for dense contract workflows, especially when they already use its supported document systems. Its main strengths are the range of review tasks and in-context terminology work; look elsewhere if you need Draft or Proof for languages beyond English and Swedish, or need public pricing before engaging a vendor.
