Before you ask.

Are Ironclad's workflows more advanced?

For complex, multi-step enterprise workflows, Ironclad is strong. Aline covers intake, approvals, redlines and signature for most legal teams, and you set it up in plain English.

Does Aline work inside Word like Ironclad?

No, by design. Aline has its own editor, so each contract stays one version that your team and the counterparty work on together. No copies to chase. Word files import with tracked changes intact.

How does Ironclad charge for AI?

Ironclad's AI agents run on credits, billed at $1.00 each once your included credits run out. Aline's AI is unlimited on every plan, with no credits to track.

What does Aline cost?

It's on our pricing page. Ten users on the Team plan is $42,000 a year, with unlimited contracts, AI and e-signature.

Can we run Aline alongside Ironclad?

Yes. Many teams start with AI review and reporting in Aline, then move workflows over before their Ironclad renewal.

How long does implementation take?

Minutes to set up. Workflows live within a week. Up to 20 hours of onboarding included.

Is our contract data used to train models?

No. Aline is SOC 2 Type II, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never trained on your data. Details at aline.co/security.
