English is not my first language.
When I get a contract, I understand the words — but the legal phrasing, the buried clauses, the "notwithstanding the foregoing" — that stuff is designed to confuse even native speakers.
I tried using ChatGPT. It gave me 800 words of text I had to read twice to understand, with no clear answer on what actually mattered.
So I built Lintract.
You upload your contract, pay $12, and in 60 seconds you get:
→ A risk score 1-10
→ Every red flag ranked by severity — Critical, Warning, Note
→ Plain English explanation of what each clause actually means
→ The exact questions to ask before you sign
No walls of text. No subscription. No account needed.
While testing the payment flow I hit a bug where every paid user was getting redirected to the home page instead of their results.
4 hours of debugging later, the fix was one word.
Lemon Squeezy serializes all custom_data keys as snake_case in webhooks. I was reading sessionId. It was arriving as session_id.
Turned the whole debugging session into a free Claude skill so nobody has to go through this again:
If you're a freelancer, contractor, or just got a job offer — try it now while it's $12:

Would love feedback from the IH community.
First read pain is real. The freelance horror story I keep hearing is different though - final pdf is one clause off from what you agreed.
Which problem are people actually paying to solve in your experience?
Great question, and honestly it's both.
The "clause off from what you agreed" problem is real but harder to solve (requires comparing versions, which is a different workflow). What I keep seeing in testing is people who simply never read the contract at all, they sign because it looks standard and the client seems legit.
The pain Lintract targets is the moment right before signing: "is there anything here that could hurt me?" Not version comparison, but a first-pass filter for hidden liability, IP traps, and clauses that look harmless but aren't.
The $12 price point is intentional, low enough that you don't need to "justify" the purchase to yourself before signing a $5k project.
