Documate is now Gavel! Read more about why we’re excited about this rebrand.

Gavel v. Bryter

Both Gavel and Bryter provide a toolkit for experts to turn their knowledge into workflows. We break down the differences below, including why you might choose one over the other:

  • Rated #1: If you're looking for documents as part of your workflows, Gavel is the best rated document automation software on Capterra and Lawyerist.
  • Document automation: Gavel allows you to automate both Microsoft Word and PDF documents, and has significantly more features, which we break down below.
  • Client portal: Gavel includes a client portal, which Bryter does not have.
  • Better value: Gavel packs more features in lower pricing tiers.
