Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CMiC

  • No specific pricing disclosed on website
  • Website directs users to /pricing page for quotes only
  • Custom quoting model used for all customers
  • No tiered plans or standard pricing published

Document Crunch

  • It is triage, not legal advice, and a company that treats the output as a substitute for counsel on a large or unusual contract is taking a risk the tool never claimed to cover.
  • Accuracy depends on the document being a recognisable construction contract; heavily bespoke owner agreements and unusual exhibits produce weaker analysis than standard industry forms.
  • The playbook needs configuring to reflect positions your company actually holds, and firms that skip that step get generic risk flags they learn to ignore.
  • It identifies problems it cannot solve; knowing a pay-when-paid clause is punitive does not give a subcontractor the leverage to have it removed.
  • Benefit depends on project staff consulting it during the job rather than only at signature, and that habit change is the part that fails most often.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CMiC: How much does CMiC cost?

CMiC does not publish fixed pricing on its website. The company uses a custom quote model. Interested parties must visit the /pricing page or contact CMiC directly to request a quote for their specific needs.

Document Crunch: Does it replace a construction lawyer?

No. It tells you where to spend legal hours and catches the provisions that get missed entirely. Unusual or high-value contracts still need counsel.

CMiC: What is CMiC's pricing model?

CMiC uses a custom enterprise pricing model rather than published tiered plans. All pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis through their sales team.

Source
Document Crunch: Who gets the most value from it?

The party that did not draft the contract, which most often means subcontractors receiving a different subcontract from every general contractor.

Document Crunch: Is it only useful before signing?

No, and arguably the larger value is during the job, when notice deadlines and change procedures need to be followed by people who never read the contract.
