Who PlainClause is for

Legal clarity shouldn't
be a luxury

Whether you're facing a lease dispute alone or signing your tenth SaaS agreement this quarter, you deserve to understand exactly what you're agreeing to.

Access to Justice

For individuals who can't afford a lawyer

Most legal help is out of reach for everyday people. A single consultation can cost $300–$500 an hour — money most people simply don't have. PlainClause is free to use, with no credit card required.

80%
of low-income Americans face at least one civil legal problem each year — and the vast majority receive no legal help at all.

  • Spot one-sided indemnification and IP clauses instantly
  • Screen SaaS and vendor agreements without legal bottlenecks
  • Save legal spend for the deals that truly need it

Frequently asked questions

PlainClause works best with common legal documents such as employment contracts, NDAs, SaaS agreements, service contracts, leases, and consulting agreements. It works for any text-based contract in English. Very long documents (over ~10 pages) may give better results if split into sections.
No. PlainClause is an AI tool for informational purposes only. It does not provide legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and should not be used as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.

Yes. We do not store the documents you submit. Your text is sent to Anthropic's API for processing and is not retained by PlainClause after your session ends. Anthropic's API does not use your inputs to train its models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
PlainClause can read and summarise contracts written under any jurisdiction — UK, Canada, Australia, EU, and more. However, legal risk assessments are most reliable for US-style contracts. Laws vary significantly by country, so always verify findings with a local attorney who knows your jurisdiction's requirements.
