Contract drafting and review AI that runs inside Microsoft Word and Google Docs, with a published 7-day free trial and seat-based custom pricing.
Small and mid-sized transactional teams that live in Word and want to test before committing: Spellbook is one of the few legal AI vendors publishing a self-serve 7-day free trial, and it gives academic institutions free access. Its Review, Draft, Compare, Ask and Playbooks features sit in the document rather than a separate web app, which suits in-house counsel and contract lawyers who are not going to change where they work.
Firms with a data-residency obligation outside Canada and the US should stop here: Spellbook states it stores and processes customer data in data centres in Canada and the US only, and publishes no other region. Buyers who need a written commitment that the vendor itself does not train on their matters will also find a gap, because the only training commitment published is the Zero Data Retention agreement with OpenAI and Anthropic, not a statement about Spellbook. Anyone needing ISO 27001 or a developer API should look elsewhere, since the security page lists only SOC 2 Type II and the integrations page documents seven connectors and no API.
Pros
Cons
Yes. Spellbook's core products run inside Microsoft Word, and the site also names Google Docs. Review redlines contracts and flags risks, Draft writes from scratch or from saved libraries, Compare benchmarks against industry standards, Ask answers questions, and Playbooks encode your team's standards as automated checklists. Associate handles multi-document workflows. No Word version or Microsoft 365 requirement is published on the product pages.
Spellbook does not publish prices. The pricing page says pricing is determined by the number of team members on a licence and that quotes are issued after a demo, with no per-seat rate, minimum or contract term given. You can start with a published 7-day free trial, extended trials may be available for larger organisations, and academic institutions are offered free access.
Spellbook lists SOC 2 Type II compliance plus HIPAA, GDPR and EU AI Act badges, and says it has negotiated Zero Data Retention agreements with both OpenAI and Anthropic so prompt and response content is not persisted by those providers. Two gaps matter for privilege reviews: no ISO 27001 is listed, and the security page does not state whether Spellbook itself trains on customer data.
Spellbook states it uses cloud providers with data centres in Canada and the US for storing and processing customer data, with AWS as its primary cloud provider. No EU, UK or APAC hosting region is published, so firms with local residency obligations should treat this as a blocker and ask for subprocessor locations from the Spellbook Trust Center before buying.
