Spellbook lives inside Microsoft Word; Attorly is a full browser-based legal platform covering analysis, drafting, research, and due diligence. Here is how they differ and when each makes sense.
Attorly is a complete legal platform — document analysis, drafting, research, due diligence, and secure vaulting — available via the web with multi-jurisdictional coverage and self-serve pricing.
Spellbook is a Microsoft Word add-in that generates and reviews contract language directly inside Word, primarily focused on the transactional drafting workflow for SMB law firms and in-house teams.
| Dimension | Attorly | Spellbook |
|---|---|---|
| Primary surface | Web platform + Word/Outlook add-ins | Microsoft Word add-in |
| Scope | Analysis, drafting, research, due diligence, vault | Contract drafting and review inside Word |
| Jurisdictional coverage | Built multi-jurisdictional; 26 languages | Primarily English-language / common law |
| Individuals + lawyers | Same product serves both | Focused on lawyer workflows |
| Encryption | Encrypted at rest and in transit; BYOK on Enterprise | Standard SaaS security; BYOK not publicly offered |
Attorly covers analysis of inbound documents (lawsuits, demand letters, leases), due diligence workflows, research, and a secure vault. If your job is not only drafting, the Word-only scope of Spellbook leaves gaps.
Attorly ships in 26 languages and was built multi-jurisdictional from day one. If you handle Nordic, EU, or other non-Anglo-law work, Attorly’s coverage matters more than a Word-native drafting experience.
Attorly is lawyer-inclusive but not lawyer-only: individuals facing a lawsuit, signing a lease, or reading a demand letter can use the same product. Spellbook is designed around the lawyer-in-Word workflow.
If every draft, redline, and clause insertion happens in Word, a deeply integrated Word add-in minimises context-switching. Spellbook is purpose-built for that flow.
For contract assembly, clause suggestions, and in-line review of drafts in Word, Spellbook is a focused tool built around that single workflow.
If your matters are entirely US/UK/Canadian common-law commercial contracts, Spellbook’s training and focus align with that scope.
Upload a contract, lawsuit, or lease and get structured analysis in under 60 seconds.
