Legibly vs ChatGPT for reading documents

When a structured document analyzer beats a general chatbot — and when ChatGPT is still the right tool.

ChatGPT is excellent for drafting and brainstorming. Legibly is built for one job: explain what a specific PDF or photo of a contract says — in the same structured format every time.

When Legibly fits better

You have a real lease, policy, or contract PDF
You want summary, highlights, and risks in a consistent layout
You do not want the file stored after analysis

When ChatGPT fits better

You are writing an email or negotiating language
You need general research, not a structured read of one document
