The differences that matter most.
| Ramtek | Spellbook | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI platform for law firms: drafting, contract review, research, deadlines, client intake and email in one place. | A contract AI suite: review, draft, compare to standards, ask questions, multi-document workflows and playbooks.1 |
| Where you use it | In the browser, in a Microsoft Word add-in, and by forwarding an email to a private address. | In Microsoft Word, as an add-in.12 |
| Contract review and redlining | A risk review in the browser or in Word. On Professional and up, a check against your firm's playbook, with proposed changes as Word tracked changes and comments, and a clause rewrite in Word. | Redlines contracts with every suggestion tracked, and turns a team's standards into checklists enforced on each review.1 |
| Firm workflow beyond documents | Client and matter records, deadlines with a calculator and a calendar file, court orders read for deadlines, a website intake assistant, an email assistant, and firm analytics. | Contract work: review, draft, compare, ask, multi-document workflows and playbooks.1 |
| Price and how it is quoted | Published, per firm: Core $499 a month for up to 3 users, Professional $1,999 for up to 8, Enterprise $1,000 per user with a 5-user minimum. Annual plans are 20 percent less. | Not published. Priced by the number of team members on the license, with a quote on request and a 7-day free trial.3 |
| Independent security assurance | None of its own today: no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or penetration test report for Ramtek. Its database provider reports a SOC 2 Type II. | Shows a SOC 2 Type II badge and lists HIPAA, GDPR and EU AI Act controls.2 |
| Retention at the AI model provider | The provider may keep a request up to 30 days for safety monitoring, then deletes it. Ramtek has no zero-retention arrangement. | States zero data retention agreements with two named model providers, with customer data "not persisted".2 |
| Sign-in and access control | Individual logins, optional two-factor sign-in, firm admin and member roles. No single sign-on and no per-matter permissions. | Uses Microsoft account sign-in, so a firm can enforce controls such as multi-factor sign-in through Microsoft.2 |
| Where data is stored | Application hosting in the United States. The database region is available on request. | Cloud data centers in Canada and the United States.2 |
Where Spellbook is stronger
- Depth on contracts. It offers review with tracked redlines, drafting, comparison to industry standards, an assistant for questions, multi-document workflows, and playbooks enforced on every review.1
- A Word-first experience. It works inside Microsoft Word and uses Microsoft account sign-in, so a firm can apply its Microsoft controls.2
- Security statements a vendor file asks for. It shows a SOC 2 Type II badge, zero data retention agreements with two model providers, and a willingness to agree a business associate agreement with customers.2
Where Ramtek is stronger
- Breadth. Besides contract work in Word, Ramtek covers drafting in twelve document types, an AI law assistant with sources, deadlines and a calculator, intake, email, firm analytics, and court orders read for deadlines.
- A published flat price for the firm. Spellbook prices by the number of team members and quotes on request.
- Plain statements of limits: no SOC 2 and no zero-retention arrangement today, and the provider's 30-day safety retention, written down where a vendor file can find them.
Choose Spellbook if
Most of your work is contracts, you live in Word, and you want the deepest contract tooling and the security statements it offers.
Choose Ramtek if
You want one tool for the rest of the firm's work as well as contracts, with a flat firm price, and you can work without SOC 2 or zero retention from us today.
The two do not exclude each other. A firm that does a lot of contract work could use Spellbook for that and Ramtek for the rest. See the AI readiness checklist.
