Today, we are launching Contract.diy on Product Hunt.
We built Contract.diy because creating a basic legal contract should not require a $500 lawyer consultation or hours spent stitching together templates from the internet. Freelancers, small business owners, landlords, and startup founders need contracts every week — and most of them either skip the contract entirely or use a generic template that does not actually protect them.
What Contract.diy Does
Contract.diy is a contract creation platform. You select a contract type, answer a guided set of questions, and get a professionally drafted, jurisdiction-aware contract in minutes. No legal jargon. No account setup friction. Three free credits on signup.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
- Choose your contract type — NDA, freelance agreement, lease, service agreement, or custom
- Fill a 3-step guided form — Parties, terms, and options. Each step validates before you advance
- Get your contract — Professionally formatted, with proper legal clauses for your jurisdiction
- Review, edit, and export — Make changes in the preview editor, then download as PDF
Every generated contract includes the clauses that matter: governing law, notices, signature blocks, effective date, and termination provisions. These are not afterthoughts — they are built into the generation process.
Why We Built This
The legal document market is dominated by two extremes: expensive law firms and free templates that are legally incomplete. We wanted something in between — professional-quality contracts that anyone can create, at a price that makes sense for a freelancer or small business.
Three things guided the product:
- Jurisdiction awareness — A lease agreement in California has different requirements than one in Texas or London. Contract.diy generates contracts with jurisdiction-specific clauses, not generic one-size-fits-all language.
- Guided creation — Instead of staring at a blank document, you answer focused questions. The platform handles the legal structure, clause ordering, and proper formatting.
- No subscription required — You get 3 free contracts on signup. Buy more when you need them. No monthly commitment unless you want one.
What You Can Create Today
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) — Mutual or unilateral. Covers confidential information definition, obligations, term, and remedies. Used by startups sharing product details, freelancers protecting client data, and businesses entering partnership discussions.
Freelance Contracts — Scope of work, payment terms, IP ownership, revision limits, termination clauses. Built for the way freelancers actually work — with clear deliverables and payment milestones.
Lease Agreements — Residential and commercial. Covers rent, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities, early termination, and jurisdiction-specific tenant protections.
Service Agreements — For consultants, agencies, and service providers. Defines service scope, SLAs, payment terms, liability caps, and confidentiality obligations.
Custom Contracts — Describe your agreement in plain language. The platform generates a structured contract based on your specific needs.
