An NDA just hit your inbox. Your options weren't great.
Here is what most people actually do with an NDA, and what each choice costs.
Sign it and hope
Most NDAs get signed unread. The one-sided terms surface later: a non-compete dressed up as confidentiality, a perpetual term, a claim on your ideas.
Send it to a lawyer
$300 to $800 and a few days of waiting, for a document the deal cannot move without. Multiply by every NDA you sign this year.
Mark it up yourself
Without knowing what is standard, you cannot tell which terms are normal and which would never survive a real negotiation.
Paste it into a chatbot
A generic model gives you a generic answer. No playbook, no sense of what is market, no redline you can send back. And your counterparty’s confidential document just went into a consumer chat tool.
The YayNDA option: AI speed, with an attorney's playbook
A $19.99 review that flags what matters, explains why, and drafts the redline you send back. Built on the judgment of a practicing attorney who has negotiated these for 20 years.
The work comes back done
Every term that cuts against you, flagged in plain English with the fix already drafted. Then one click exports a clean Word redline with tracked changes, ready to send back.
Five steps from upload to export
Your template stays the base. Their NDA gets redlined against it. Every revision is tracked, every clause attributed, and the full draft is editable inline — no roundtrip to Word.
Upload
Upload your template and the counterparty’s NDA — PDF or DOCX. No template of your own? Start from ours.
Compare
AI matches clauses by legal function and surfaces every place the counterparty’s NDA differs from your base.
Review and Decide
We start you at the first conflict. Each one comes with a recommended resolution and drafted language — keep it, take theirs, keep yours, or write your own.
Generate
One click builds your revised NDA — your document’s structure, your decisions applied, every change tracked and attributed.
Export
Download as Word or PDF. In Word, every change is a real tracked revision the other side can accept or reject.
What one NDA actually costs you
Signing blind is free until it isn't. Outside counsel is certain money. YayNDA sits in between, on purpose.
Average flat fee for a lawyer to review one NDA
A YayNDA review, with the redline drafted
Your first review, no card required
Sign five NDAs a year and the choice is roughly $1,850 in legal fees, or $80 with your first one free.
Built for whoever the NDA lands on
Founders, sales leaders, recruiters, operators, dealmakers. And yes, lawyers use it too.
Intelligent Comparison
Matches clauses by legal function, not section number. Automatically pairs provisions across different numbering schemes and templates.
Surgical Micro-Changes
Accept the recommendation, pick a version for each individual difference, or write your own language. Your edits are preserved verbatim — AI never overwrites your work.
Conflict Resolution
When the counterparty’s language conflicts with yours, accept theirs, keep your base, let AI synthesize a middle position, or write your own — every resolution is your call.
Track Changes Audit Trail
Color-coded markup shows exactly what came from where. Green for additions, pink for removals, yellow for AI-synthesized.
Three-Layer Validation
Pre-analysis checks, pair compatibility verification, and post-analysis coverage validation ensure nothing gets missed.
Word & PDF Export
Download as Word or PDF. Word exports carry real track changes — accept or reject each revision natively — plus your review comments.
AI recommends. You decide.
Every decision stays in your hands.
An Attorney’s Judgment, Not a Diff Tool
Word can show you what changed. YayNDA tells you what matters and what to do about it. Every recommendation reflects how a practicing attorney and former General Counsel actually negotiates NDAs: which terms are standard, which are one-sided, and which language wins the point without blowing up the deal.
Every Choice Requires Your Approval
AI recommends a resolution for every conflict and gap and pre-selects it — but nothing reaches your document until you review and generate your revised NDA. Change any choice with a click.
Your Language, Your Way
Write your own custom provisions at any point. Your bespoke language is preserved verbatim through every regeneration — the tool respects your expertise.
Nothing Gets Missed
Three-layer validation checks document structure before analysis, how the two documents map to each other, and completeness of the comparison after.
Full Audit Trail
Color-coded track changes show exactly what came from which NDA. Green for additions, pink for removals, yellow for synthesized language.
Patent-Pending Technology
Our clause-matching and merge process is built on proprietary, patent-pending technology designed specifically for NDA analysis. This is purpose-built technology, not a generic AI wrapper.
Your data stays yours
Attorneys have a duty of confidentiality. We built YayNDA to uphold it.
Encrypted End to End
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your documents are protected by industry-standard encryption at every stage.
Isolated User Databases
Each user operates in their own secure, isolated database. Your documents and data are never visible to or accessible by other users.
Never Used for AI Training
Your documents are never used to train AI models. Period. Your client's confidential information stays confidential.
Built for Attorney Obligations
We understand the duty of confidentiality. YayNDA is designed from the ground up to meet the data handling expectations of legal professionals.
Built by a lawyer who got tired of watching people sign bad NDAs
YayNDA was built by a practicing attorney and former General Counsel who has negotiated NDAs from both sides of the table for 20 years, as a commercial litigator and as the executive the contracts landed on. The analysis you get reflects that experience, not just language matching.
YayNDA is software, not a law firm, and a review is not legal advice. For high-stakes agreements, talk to a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction. Read our story →
