Side-by-side comparison
Why professionals switch to Contract.DIY
No auto-renew trap
FormSwift's $1.95 trial converts silently to $39.95/mo — many users only notice on the second statement. contract.diy charges per contract, no recurring billing unless you opt in.
AI-drafted, not fillable
FormSwift gives you a static PDF with blanks. contract.diy asks plain-language questions and drafts clauses that match your state, project, and chosen options.
State-specific defaults
Late-fee caps, governing-law venue, IP-assignment defaults — set automatically based on your jurisdiction. FormSwift's templates are generic.
Cancel without phone calls
FormSwift's cancellation page is buried; reports of multiple charges before successful cancellation are common. We don't lock you in.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my FormSwift documents work in Contract.DIY?
- If it's a contract — NDA, service agreement, lease, freelance, employment offer — yes; we draft the same type in about 5 minutes for your state. If it's an administrative form (W-9, I-9, generic affidavits), FormSwift's catalog is broader.
- Can I cancel FormSwift before being charged?
- Yes — cancel inside the trial window (typically 7 days) to avoid the $39.95/mo conversion. Use the account billing page; if cancellation fails, contact your card issuer.
- Is contract.diy really $1 per contract?
- Yes. The Starter plan is $1 per finalized contract — no subscription, no per-document upcharge. Higher-volume plans drop the per-contract price further. The first contract is on us — no card required.
- What's the difference between AI-drafted and FormSwift's fill-in templates?
- FormSwift gives you a static template with blanks; you fill in names and dates. Contract.DIY asks plain-language questions about your situation and drafts clauses tailored to your state, project type, and chosen options.
