Catch every risky clause — and every one that's missing.
AI review that catches scope creep, payment risks, and IP traps — plus the clauses that should be there but aren't — then writes the counter-proposal email for you. 60 seconds. Built for freelancers.

"Unlimited revisions until client satisfied" — no cap, no kill fee.
Assigns all work, including pre-existing tools.
No late-payment penalty clause. Add: 1.5%/mo after Net-30.
The problem
Your three options today all cost you.
Thorough — but overkill for a $5K project, and too slow when the client wants it signed today.
Comments only on what's there — never what's missing — and it trains on the contract you just handed it.
The default choice — and why 73% of freelancers have lost money to scope creep and payment traps.
There's a fourth option: a specialized review in 60 seconds, for the price of a coffee.
From contract to counter-proposal in about a minute.
No back-and-forth, no legal jargon to decode. Three steps from the file your client sent to a reply that's ready to go out.
Upload your contract
Drop in the PDF or Word file your client sent — or paste the text. Your original file is never stored.
AI reviews every clause
It reads the whole contract — flagging what's risky and detecting what a fair agreement is missing.
Send your counter-proposal
Get a redlined report with severity scores, suggested language, and a ready-to-send email.
Average time from upload to counter-proposal: about 60 seconds.
What it catches
Six ways ClauseCatch protects your next contract.
Every review covers the clauses freelancers get burned by — and the one thing generic AI can't do: tell you what's missing.
Scope-creep detection
Unlimited revisions, vague deliverables, and 'as needed' tasks with no change-order mechanism — flagged before they eat your margin.
Payment-risk flags
Net-60/90 terms, missing deposits, pay-when-paid clauses, and no late-payment penalty — the traps that leave you financing the client.
IP & ownership analysis
Catches IP that transfers before you're paid, and assignments broad enough to sweep in your pre-existing tools and libraries.
Termination review
One-sided 'for convenience' exits, no kill fee, and survival clauses that outlive the contract — the ways an ending can burn you.
Missing-clause detection
Generic AI only reads what's there. ClauseCatch flags what's not — the kill fee, late-payment penalty, or revision cap a fair contract should include — with the exact language to add.
Counter-proposal email
Not just 'change clause X to Y.' A warm, sendable email that negotiates the top issues for you — peer-to-peer, no legal jargon.
Not a contract generator — we don't write contracts, we review the ones your client sends you. Not a lawyer replacement. Not generic AI.
Who it's for
Built for people who sign contracts without a legal team.
If a client sends you an agreement and you're the one who has to decide whether to sign it, ClauseCatch is for you.
ChatGPT vs ClauseCatch
You could paste your contract into ChatGPT. Here's why freelancers don't.
- Trains on the contract you paste in
- Only comments on what's written
- Hands you a wall of prose
- Can hallucinate clauses that aren't there
- Never trains on your data — ever
- Detects what's missing — the clauses that should be there but aren't
- Structured report + redlined PDF + counter-proposal email
- Every flag quotes the exact clause, with a confidence score

A real $25K web dev SOW, reviewed.
Built from analyzing 100+ real freelancer SOW, MSA, retainer, and fixed-fee contracts — trained on IP grab clauses, scope creep patterns, late-payment terms, kill fee absences, and one-sided termination.
§4.2 · Scope
"Contractor shall provide revisions until Client is fully satisfied."
Why it's risky: no revision cap and no kill fee means unlimited unpaid work. On a fixed $25K fee, three revision rounds can erase your margin.
§9.1 · IP
"All work product and related materials are assigned to Client."
Why it's risky: "related materials" is broad enough to sweep in your reusable libraries and pre-existing tools. Carve those out explicitly.
Not in contract
No late-payment penalty.
Add this: "Invoices unpaid 30 days past due accrue 1.5% interest per month." Protects you against the 60–90 day payment delay this contract currently allows.
Estimated value if negotiated: $5,000–$8,000 protected on this single contract.
"Built by an indie founder who lost real money to bad client contracts. Building tools for freelancers who don't want that to happen to them."

Early users
Freelancers are catching what they used to miss.
"It caught an IP clause that would've handed over my reusable component library. I sent the counter-proposal email as-is and the client agreed the next day."
"The 'missing clauses' part is the whole thing. I never would've known there was no kill fee until the project got cancelled halfway through."
"Paid for itself on the first contract. Net-60 with no deposit became 50% upfront, Net-15 — that's real cash flow."
Questions, answered straight.
Is ClauseCatch legal advice?
No. ClauseCatch is a software tool that helps you spot risks and missing protections in a contract, in plain English. It doesn't replace a lawyer. For high-stakes deals — over ~$50K, equity, M&A, or anything you're unsure about — talk to a licensed attorney.
How accurate is the AI?
Every flag quotes the exact clause it's referring to and includes a confidence score, so you can verify it against the contract yourself. It's specifically trained on freelancer contract patterns — but always use your own judgment, especially on high-value deals.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan lets you review up to 3 contracts a month with no credit card — full risk analysis, missing-clause detection, and the counter-proposal email included. Paid plans add unlimited reviews, larger documents, and redlined PDF export.
How much does it cost, and can I cancel anytime?
A single in-depth review is $29 one-time. Pro is $39/mo (or $390/yr) for unlimited reviews. Pro is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime — you keep access until the end of your billing period.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives unstructured prose, trains on your data, and doesn't know what's missing from your contract. ClauseCatch gives a structured risk report, no training on your data, missing-clause detection, a redlined PDF, plus a counter-proposal email ready to send.
Is my contract private — trained on or shared?
Your contracts are never used to train AI models and never sold. We don't even store your original file — only the extracted text needed for your review, deleted 30 days after (or immediately on request). Encrypted in transit and at rest.
What contract types are supported?
SOW, MSA, retainer agreement, fixed-fee project contract, and employment/contractor agreement — as PDF or Word. English only for now.
What if it doesn't work for my contracts?
Paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email refund@clausecatch.ai and get a full refund within 48 hours, no questions asked.
