## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> There are two different things sold under "contract review," and picking the wrong one is the usual mistake. If you need a *human lawyer to tell you whether to sign*, get a subscription lawyer or a marketplace attorney. If you have *volume* and need clause-level flagging before a lawyer sees it, get AI software. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> ### If you want a real attorney (most small businesses - start here)
> 
> 1. **Rocket Lawyer** - $39.99/mo. The best default. You get document templates, and the membership includes attorney Q&A and document review, plus their "Rocket Copilot" AI pre-flags concerns. Monthly cancelable, so it's cheap to try for one contract. Best for ongoing needs rather than a one-off. ([Forbes comparison](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/rocketlawyer-vs-legalzoom/), [Venture Smarter](https://venturesmarter.com/rocket-lawyer-vs-legalzoom/))
> 2. **LegalZoom Business Attorney Plan** - ~$39-43/mo. Very close to Rocket Lawyer; edge if you're also forming the entity, since formation + 150 templates + network-attorney review live in one place. Slightly weaker for ongoing counsel. ([LegalZoom](https://www.legalzoom.com/compare/legalzoom-v
