## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these, depending on whether you want a human lawyer or software.
> 
> ## If you want a real lawyer looking at the contract
> 
> **1. ContractsCounsel** - my default recommendation for most small businesses. You post the contract, vetted attorneys bid a flat fee, and you pick one. No subscription, no hourly surprise. Marketplace averages run ~$400-$600 per review ($430 employment, $400 freelance, $500 consulting, $580 purchase), and they take a ~3% fee. Best value when you have occasional contracts, not a steady stream. [contractscounsel.com](https://www.contractscounsel.com/b/contract-review-cost)
> 
> **2. LegalZoom Business Attorney Plan** - ~$39/month billed annually ($469/yr). Includes unlimited 30-minute consults on new matters, attorney review of contracts up to 10 pages, a template library, and 25% off your attorney's hourly rate for bigger work. If you sign more than two or three contracts a year, this is cheaper than paying per review. The 10-page cap is the real limit - fine for NDAs, MSAs, and service agreements, not for a commercial lease or acquisition. [legalzoom.com/attorneys](https://www.legalzoom.com/attorneys/)

> **3. Law 4 Small Business (L4SB)**
