Free Online Contract Review Tool
Review any contract online for free: risky clauses, missing protections, hidden obligations. Get a health score and clause-by-clause breakdown. 100% in-browser.
Before you sign a freelance agreement, lease, SaaS subscription, or vendor contract, it pays to know what the boilerplate actually says. This contract review tool highlights one-sided clauses, missing protections, and obligations that are easy to miss — then gives the document an overall health score.
It is not a lawyer, but it is a fast, free first pass that tells you which paragraphs deserve a second read or a negotiation conversation. For sensitive documents there is no upload step: review happens entirely inside your browser.

How contract risk scoring works — illustrated
The decoder scans a contract across six categories — payment terms, termination, liability, confidentiality, auto-renewal, and IP rights — and flags clauses that match known risk patterns. Each detected clause carries a weight: Low +5, Medium +15, High +30, or Critical +50. The health score is simply 100 minus the accumulated risk: 100 and above is clean, 70+ is Low risk, 40-69 is Medium, and below 40 is High. Because the same clause can hide in multiple contracts you sign, the tool also tracks your risk history over time so you can see whether the agreements you sign are getting better or worse.
The example is a freelance services agreement that trips 3 Low clauses (standard payment terms, standard NDA, termination for convenience) and 2 Medium clauses (late-payment penalty, auto-renewal). Total risk 45 → health score 55 → 'Medium — needs attention'. Health score thresholds: ≥70 Low, 40-69 Medium, <40 High.
Rina is about to sign a freelance services agreement. She pastes it into the decoder and it returns a 55/100 health score and 'Medium' risk. Here is the math behind that score.
- Clauses detected:5 notable clauses across payment, confidentiality, termination, and auto-renewal categories
- Risk weights:Low +5 · Medium +15 · High +30 · Critical +50 per detected clause (max 3 matches per pattern)
- Risk tally:3 × Low (standard payment terms, standard NDA, termination for convenience) = 15 + 2 × Medium (late-payment penalty, auto-renewal) = 30 → 45 total
- Health score:100 − 45 = 55 → falls in the 40-69 band → overall risk is Medium: review the flagged clauses before signing
