Adira vs Agiloft: Which Contract Platform for India (2026)

Agiloft is known for one thing above all: configurability. It is a no-code CLM that organisations can mould to almost any process they can describe. Adira is an India-first AI legal operating system built on Anthropic's Claude, with an opinionated, structured document core. For an India buyer deciding between them in 2026, here is a fair head-to-head: where Agiloft is strong, where Adira differs, and a clear verdict for each kind of team. ## Adira and Agiloft at a glance Before the detail, here is the short version of how Adira and Agiloft differ for an India buyer. - What it is: Adira is an India-first AI legal operating system built on Claude; Agiloft is a deeply configurable no-code CLM.

• AI engine and document model: Adira drafts and edits on a structured clause tree with per-clause risk; Agiloft centres on its own core job rather than clause-tree drafting tuned to India.
• India law depth: Adira reasons about Indian corporate law natively; with Agiloft India depth is configured or secondary.
• Firm tuning: Adira's Company Persona tunes drafts to your organisation; most rivals rely on templates.
• Pricing: Adira publishes per-seat pricing; Agiloft's pricing model is set out below.
• Best fit: read the "Choose Adira if, choose Agiloft if" verdict near the end before you decide. ## Where Agiloft is strong Agiloft's configurability is genuinely deep and well regarded. Its no-code platform lets you build custom tables, workflows, approval rules and business logic to fit processes that other tools cannot bend to, which is why it is popular with teams that have unusual or highly specific contract and procurement requirements. It is mature, flexible, and often praised for the degree of control it gives administrators without writing a line of code. If you have a complex, non-standard process and the appetite to configure a platform to match it exactly, Agiloft is a powerful and proven choice. ## Where Adira is different Adira takes a different path. It runs on Anthropic's Claude and models every contract as a structured clause tree rather than flat text, which changes what you can do with a document. You can draft a full, execution-ready contract from a nested catalogue and a short brief, in text or by voice, streamed live with no length limit. You can then edit in plain English, for example "shorten the non-compete to 12 months everywhere", and Adira locates the right clauses, edits them precisely and returns a diff, with interlinking and pins that show how clauses depend on each other. Its Company Persona learns from your own documents, directors, preferred terms, risk posture and house style, then injects that into every draft so contracts sound like your organisation and skew terms in your favour. Everything sits in one unified web app that also holds files and cases, a live activity timeline that doubles as version history, notebooks for freeform annotation, embedded e-signing and e-stamping, and compliance tracking, rather than five disconnected tools stitched together. ## India law: the deciding factor for an India buyer For an India buyer this is often the deciding factor. Adira's Document Intelligence Dashboard reads a contract against Indian corporate law and colour-codes each position as favourable, neutral or unfavourable to your company. It surfaces red flags and named compliance items such as the Companies Act, Section 42 and PAS-3 for private placements, SEBI, FEMA and stamp duty, along with vulnerabilities by severity, key dates, obligations, monetary terms and missing clauses, all under a single risk-posture meter. That depth is native to the product, built around Indian corporate law and filings first, not a template layered on top of a global engine. For an Indian company, having a review that already understands a Section 42 private placement, a PAS-3 return or a stamp duty exposure is the difference between generic contract software and a tool that reads the way your own counsel does. With Agiloft you would configure your own logic and checks; with Adira the India-law intelligence is built in, so you do not have to encode Indian statutes into a workflow yourself. ## Pricing and how you buy Adira publishes per-seat pricing openly, which is unusual in this market: the Practice plan is 89 US dollars per seat per month billed annually (109 US dollars billed monthly) with a three-seat minimum, the Firm plan is 179 US dollars per seat per month billed annually (219 US dollars billed monthly) with a five-seat minimum, and Enterprise is custom, with a seven-day free trial. Agiloft is sold through sales with a scoped quote, as is normal for a configurable enterprise platform, so pricing is not published and depends on your configuration and user count. Adira's published per-seat pricing lets you start without that scoping exercise. ## Data, security and privacy Adira confirms it does not train on your contract corpus. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest with role-based access controls, and the Enterprise plan adds SSO and SAML, audit logs, and data residency and retention controls. Your corpus stays in your control and you decide what is shared. Agiloft gives administrators fine-grained control to configure access and governance; Adira ships sensible defaults, adds the no-training-on-your-corpus commitment, and keeps your documents under your control. ## Deployment and time to value Agiloft rewards investment in configuration: the more you shape it, the more it fits, but that shaping takes time and administrative skill. Adira is a single web app you can start in days, with drafting, intelligence, versioning, activity timeline, notebooks, e-signing and e-stamping, and compliance tracking together, and the India-law reasoning ready out of the box. Adira's Company Command Centre, a single pane showing overall legal health, is on the roadmap and should be treated as roadmap rather than a live feature today. ## What Adira has measured Adira reports its own results from live use. Eighteen law firms already use Adira and rank it highly. On contract review and due diligence, those firms cut the work from 10 to 12 days of manual effort down to under 2 hours, with only 2 to 3 rechecks needed in total on Adira's output. These are Adira's own measured results from those live deployments, not an independent third-party study, and they speak to out-of-the-box drafting and review rather than configured workflow. ## Choose Adira if, choose Agiloft if Choose Adira if you want a ready-to-use AI legal engine with deep India-law review, firm-tuned drafting on a structured clause tree and transparent per-seat pricing, without building workflows yourself. Choose Agiloft if you have a complex, non-standard process and want a no-code platform you can configure to match it precisely, with the time and administrative capacity to do so. The two are not really fighting for the same buyer, which is why an honest comparison names the fit rather than a universal winner. You can see Adira's full feature weave at Adira and its plans at pricing. ## Bottom line For an India buyer in 2026, Agiloft is the stronger answer when you need deep configurability for an unusual process and have the capacity to build it. Adira is the stronger answer when you want AI-native drafting, a clause-tree structure and India-law review working from day one. Decide whether you want to configure a platform or adopt a legal engine.
