Competitor fact check: This comparison was last updated October 5, 2026. Competitor-specific facts were checked against the linked provider sources as of that update or removed when they could not be verified. Pricing, packaging, and features can change, so confirm current terms on the provider's official site before deciding.
Verification status
ContractCrab's official site (contractcrab.com) was readable on September 10, 2026. On September 28, 2026, it displayed a database-connection error in our browser, and a separate fetch also failed.
We checked again on October 5, 2026. The home page, the pricing page, and the blog all returned the same "Database Error" page (HTTP 500). The www and app addresses did not connect at all.
So for at least a week the service has had no working public site, pricing page, or sign-in we could reach. ContractCrab has not announced a closure that we could find, and an outage alone does not prove that a company has shut down. Treat the service as unavailable until its own site says otherwise.
If you used ContractCrab
- Keep your own copies of any contracts and reports you relied on. If the site stays down, you may not be able to download them again.
- If you had a monthly plan, check your card statement for renewals, and contact your card issuer if you are billed for a service you cannot reach.
- If you uploaded confidential documents, note what you shared and when, in case you later need to ask the provider to delete it.
What ContractCrab used to offer
For historical context only: on September 10, 2026, the site listed pay-as-you-go review at $3 per contract, Light at $30 per month for 120 documents, Pro at $75 per month for 500 documents, and custom Enterprise terms. It described general contract review and summary output. None of this could be checked after September 28.
What Inkvex offers
Inkvex is built for buyers reviewing deal documents: asset purchase agreements, commercial leases, employment agreements, FDDs, and seller paper. Each review gives a 1-to-10 risk score and red flags quoted from the exact clause they come from.
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trial | $0, no card | One full Standard review |
| Single Document Review | $49 | One Premium review with the attorney-ready Diligence Memorandum, 12-month access |
| Deal Pack | $499 one-time | 15 credits over 12 months for one live acquisition |
| Searcher Sub | $99 per month or $990 per year | 5 credits each month for ongoing deal flow |
Current terms, limits, and refund rules are on the pricing page, which governs if anything here differs. Read the Inkvex Privacy Policy to see what is processed and what report data is kept.
How to choose a replacement
Use one representative agreement that you are allowed to upload, and run it through each tool you are considering. Check whether each tool:
- quotes the exact text behind every finding, with its section or page;
- catches what is missing, not only what is wrong;
- reads clauses that depend on other sections or exhibits;
- labels uncertain conclusions instead of guessing;
- exports a report your attorney can actually use.
Then compare the commercial unit you will really buy: one document, a monthly allowance, or a package for one transaction.
