FixMyContract vs ClearSign: Which One Fits You? (2026)
By FixMyContractComparison last checked Sep 23, 2026Updated Sep 23, 2026
ClearSign is a newer entrant (launched May 2026, per their own Indie Hackers launch post) offering a sentence-by-sentence risk scan of a contract. Its original site (clearsignapp.com) stopped resolving in early September 2026; the product is live again at a new address (myclearsign.com) with a three-tier monthly plan — 20, 60, or 500 reviews a month — plus one-time credit packs, and a free tier of 3 lifetime analyses. FixMyContract covers similar ground — a clause-level risk read before you sign — but adds a role-aware perspective, a saved history, and a recurring monthly quota rather than a lifetime-limited free tier plus paid credits.
Full disclosure: this comparison is published by FixMyContract. The criteria below are laid out so you can verify each row yourself. Comparison last checked: September 23, 2026.
How they compare
| FixMyContract | ClearSign | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free plan (one analysis, free forever). A single full report for $9; Pro $19/mo and Expert $79/mo ($190 / $790 a year); Business for teams — talk to us. Founding pricing: the first 100 paid accounts that subscribe by 15 November 2026 keep their opening-day price for 12 months | Three-tier monthly plan — Starter $9/mo (20 reviews), Pro $19/mo (60 reviews), Max $49/mo (500 reviews) — plus one-time credit packs (per their site, myclearsign.com) |
| Free tier | one analysis, free forever, no card — risk score, every finding by name, the two most important in full | 3 lifetime analyses, no card (per their site). Our report quotes the clauses behind its findings and lists what to ask for — see the sample analysis. |
| Output structure | Risk score + favorable/unfavorable per clause + "what to ask for" per flagged term | Sentence-by-sentence risk scan, flagged High/Medium/Low (per their site) — not described as a saved, role-aware report |
| Party perspective | You pick your role up front; the whole read is from your side | Not described on their public pages |
| File types (photos included) | PDF, photo, Word, Excel, or pasted text | Not independently confirmed |
| History + PDF report | Analyses saved to your history; downloadable PDF report | Not described on their public pages |
| Document chat | Document chat on paid plans — 20 messages a month on Pro, 40 on Expert and Business | Not described on their public pages |
| Data-retention statement | Encrypted in transit & at rest; uploaded files deleted after 30 days, and from 30 September 2026 your report stays in your account until you delete it; never used to train models | Not detailed on the pages reviewed |
| Honest scope language | "A first read, not a substitute for a lawyer" — high-stakes contracts still deserve one | Not evident on the pages reviewed |
Where ClearSign is the better fit
- You review a predictable monthly volume and want a low entry price. Starter at $9/month for 20 reviews is priced below our Pro tier for a lighter-volume user.
- You're comfortable with a very new product. As a May 2026 launch, ClearSign is still adding features — worth checking their current site for what's shipped since.
Where FixMyContract is the better fit
- You want a saved report, not a one-off scan. History and a downloadable PDF are built around the document, not a single session.
- The contract reads differently depending on your side. Role selection is built into the workflow.
- You review more than one contract a year. A monthly quota of full reports is more predictable than paying per review each time.

FAQ
Is ClearSign a real product? Yes — it launched publicly on Indie Hackers in May 2026 with a live site and pricing page (per their own launch post). Their original domain (clearsignapp.com) went offline in early September 2026 and the product is now live at myclearsign.com — a domain change, not a shutdown. As a young, solo-founder product, feature set and pricing may change faster than an established tool's.
Which finds more issues in a contract? We don't make accuracy comparisons — neither we nor any vendor can fairly benchmark that for your specific contract from a marketing page. The more useful comparison is structure: a per-review sentence scan versus a saved, role-aware, clause-by-clause report.
Do I still need a lawyer? For high-stakes or unusual agreements, yes — either tool is a first read, not a substitute. Here's what a lawyer's review typically costs.
Not legal advice. This is an educational comparison of software tools. No AI output — from either product — is a substitute for a licensed lawyer applying your jurisdiction's law to your situation.
