Analyze, score, and compare clauses

Contract analysis
Dense legal German, 20-page contracts, endless cross-references — only 8% of people read everything. Skim it, and you'll often miss the most expensive clauses.
SignGuard analyzes every single clause and benchmarks it against thousands of reference contracts and a legal database. Works in 10 languages and 12 countries.

Traffic-light system & score
You've read the contract — but which clauses are market-standard, and which are unusual? Without a benchmark, there's no way to judge.
Every clause gets a color: green (standard), yellow (unusual), red (problematic). The whole contract gets a score. One glance tells you where to look closer.

Contract comparison
A renewal, an amendment, or two competing offers — which one is actually better, and what does it mean for you? Faced with hours of googling and copying clauses into spreadsheets, most people simply don't compare at all.
Two contracts side by side, differences highlighted in color and explained in plain language. Perfect when switching providers, changing jobs, or negotiating with your boss.
Catch cancellation deadlines in time

Deadline reminders
Notice periods hide somewhere in the contract — according to a survey by VZBV (German), Germany's federation of consumer organizations, nearly one in five (19%, vzbv/forsa 2020) people is stuck with unwanted contract renewals — at an average cost of €335 over 2 years.
SignGuard extracts deadlines automatically and reminds you by push notification or calendar entry (.ics) — by default 3 months, 2 weeks, or 7 days before the deadline.

Cancellation letter templates
Writing a German cancellation letter (Kündigungsschreiben) yourself takes time — and a formal mistake can make the cancellation invalid.
Legally solid templates right in the app. Fill in, generate a PDF, send by email or registered mail. More background in our guide (German): Kündigungsschreiben rechtssicher: Muster + 5 Fallen (2026).

Auto-renewal detection
Many contracts renew silently, often for another 12 months — with no clear warning or reminder. Forget to cancel in time, and you're locked in for another year.
SignGuard spots these clauses during the analysis and adds the deadline to your reminder calendar automatically.
Manage contracts centrally and ask questions

Contract manager
Contracts end up everywhere — in emails, drawers, binders, apps. When it matters, nobody finds the right contract in time.
All contracts in one place, categorized and searchable. For paper contracts, save a photo of where they're filed. Family sharing gives your partner and kids access to contracts and their analyses if you choose — including PDF export, e.g. for your lawyer.

Cost overview
You know you have a lot of contracts on the go — but how much do they cost per month, combined? And where could you save the most?
The cost overview adds up all your monthly contract spending — with a drill-down by contract and category. One glance shows what it all adds up to and where you can save.

AI contract assistant
"Are they allowed to do that?", "Do I have to…?" — questions like these about your specific contract usually go unanswered. Asking a lawyer is expensive, and googling is inconclusive — especially when the contract is in German.
Ask the AI assistant directly about your contract. It knows your contracts, answers in plain language, and points you to the relevant clause — in seconds.
Lawyer Check: get a real lawyer's assessment
Lawyer Check
The AI analysis shows a high risk — now what? Finding the right lawyer, explaining your case, estimating the costs: this is exactly where most people give up.
If the risk is high, forward your contract to an independent, licensed German lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) with one tap right from the app — via a referral through the advocado partner network. The lawyer already has your contract and a case summary; the initial assessment is free, and afterwards you're free to decide whether to accept a fixed-fee offer.
Frequently asked questions about the features
Which contract types are supported?
SignGuard analyzes all common consumer contracts: rental contracts (Mietvertrag), employment contracts, mobile phone contracts, subscriptions, freelancer and influencer contracts, and standard terms (AGB — standard terms under German law). Unknown contract types are analyzed too, just with less specific benchmarks.
Which languages does the contract analysis work in?
Currently 10 languages are supported: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Russian. The analysis takes the law of 12 countries into account.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
The AI was trained by specialized lawyers and calibrated against thousands of reference contracts. Every clause is rated individually, and analyses are spot-checked by lawyers. Still, SignGuard does not replace legal advice — for complex cases we recommend seeing a lawyer.
Can I export my contracts and analyses?
Yes. Every analysis can be exported as a PDF — to share, archive, or bring to a conversation with your lawyer. The contracts themselves stay in your personal contract manager, are never passed on, and can be deleted at any time.
What happens if the analysis finds a high risk?
The app then recommends the Lawyer Check: you can forward your contract plus a case summary to an independent lawyer — via a referral through the advocado partner network. The initial assessment is free and non-binding; costs only arise if you explicitly accept a fixed-price offer afterwards. All details about the Lawyer Check.
