Clearhour vs Gavel, honestly.

What both do

Your client answers online, the answers fill official PDFs, and you can upload a form and let the software read it.

Where Gavel is stronger

A mature template builder used by tens of thousands of lawyers, Word output, DocuSign and Stripe on higher tiers, Zapier, and two years of Blueprint (its upload-any-form feature) in production. If your firm builds complex conditional templates across many practice areas, Gavel is the more complete tool today.

Where Clearhour is different

• An assistant that answers the client’s questions while they fill the questionnaire in, and voice input per field.
• Official statutory forms for New Zealand, Australian states and England and Wales on the shelf, filled exactly as issued.
• Documents generated in your browser and sealed to your firm before they are stored.
• Pricing per questionnaire, with no seats.

Price

Gavel: Gavel Lite US$83/mo up to Scale from US$417/mo, per builder seat.
