What Draftable Compare is
Draftable Compare is a desktop document comparison solution for law firms and legal teams. It compares Word, PDF, scanned PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook email, and free text, detecting changes to characters, moved text, formatting, layout, footnotes, tables, images, and hidden text. Outputs include tracked-change Word files, Word and PDF redlines, changed-pages-only PDFs, PowerPoint and Excel redlines, marked-up Outlook messages, Departures Tables, and side-by-side views. Scanned PDFs can use built-in OCR powered by Tungsten Automate, configured to run automatically or not at all. Bulk Compare can run hundreds of comparisons at once, and 1-Click Compare applies a default workflow. Integrations include Microsoft Office, iManage Cloud and on-premises, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Worldox, and Epona 365. The offline application runs locally, with executable and machine-wide MSI installers. Draftable says documents generally do not reach its systems when Legal runs locally. The five-day online trial includes all features and has no usage limits. Pricing starts at $10.75/user/mo billed annually; subscriptions last 12 months, with no comparison-volume or frequency caps.
