## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the right answer splits into two buckets: **a real lawyer reviewing the contract** (what you want for anything you're signing that matters) and **AI software** (what you want for high-volume, low-stakes triage). Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> ## If you want an actual attorney on it
> 
> **1. LegalShield Small Business plan - best value for recurring review**
> $49/mo (Essential) gets 10 documents up to 15 pages reviewed per year; $99/mo (Plus) gets 20 documents up to 20 pages. You're assigned a provider firm in your state from a network of ~6,900 attorneys. If you sign more than a couple of contracts a year, this is the cheapest way to get licensed eyes on all of them - a single one-off review often costs more than a year of this. Watch the page caps; they're the real constraint.
> 
> **2. ContractsCounsel - best for one-off, flat-fee reviews**
> Marketplace where attorneys bid flat fees on your specific contract. Average business contract review runs about **$540 flat**, which is useful just as a sanity benchmark for any quote you get elsewhere. Good when you have one important agreement (a lease, a big vendor MSA, an investor doc) and don't want a subscription
