Draftable Compare review
A Windows desktop comparator with broad file support and legal-focused redlining.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Draftable Compare is desktop document comparison software for law firms, legal teams, and other professional users. It compares Word, PDF, scanned PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, text files, free text, and Outlook emails. Side-by-side views, highlighted changes, redlines, annotations, and document-management integrations support reviews of business documents, including confidential or commercially sensitive files. It is best suited to teams that work primarily on Windows and need more than a basic visual comparison.
Pricing separates general business comparison from legal review workflows. The Business plan costs $10.75 per user per month when billed annually and includes side-by-side comparison, Word, PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel input, scanned-PDF and free-text support, highlighted changes, and PDF export. The Legal plan costs $21.75 per user per month when billed annually. It adds redline or highlight options, redlines for Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook emails, tracked-changes export, Departures Tables, Change Reports, Bulk Compare, and 1-Click Compare. A five-day free trial is available, while no free plan is offered.
Its strongest advantage is breadth paired with legal-oriented output. The software can produce Word tracked changes and DOCX redlines, along with PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint redline output. Changed-pages-only views, interactive change lists with tags and notes, and bulk comparison help organize larger review workloads. Integrations include Microsoft Office, iManage Cloud, iManage On-Premises, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Worldox, and Epona 365. Choose Draftable Compare when Windows compatibility and legal document workflows are priorities. Teams that require a currently available macOS option should choose an alternative instead.
