Neither Legibly nor ChatGPT provides legal advice. This page compares product capabilities, not legal accuracy.
ChatGPT is a powerful general assistant. Legibly is built for one job: explain what your lease, policy, or contract says — in a consistent, private, structured format.
Legibly
10 document types with structured prompts — summary, highlights, risks, and questions
ChatGPT
General chat — you must write your own prompt and format each time
Legibly
Original file analyzed in memory and discarded — never stored
ChatGPT
Uploads may be used for model training depending on your plan and settings
Legibly
Consistent sections every time — easy to compare documents side by side
ChatGPT
Format varies; long unstructured replies
Legibly
Chat grounded in your saved analysis — not the raw PDF
ChatGPT
Full conversation context, but no persistent analysis structure
Legibly
Hard-coded: describes what the document says, never tells you to sign or not sign
ChatGPT
Varies by prompt; may sound more authoritative than intended
Legibly
Signing a lease, policy, or contract and wanting a structured pre-sign review
ChatGPT
Brainstorming, drafting, or one-off questions when you write a detailed prompt
When Legibly is the better fit
You have a PDF or photo of a real document, you want the same structured output every time, and you do not want the file stored anywhere. That is what Legibly is for.
