What Lapsewise offers
Lapsewise organizes certifications, contracts, grants, licenses, insurance, warranties, memberships, domains, inspections, permits, leases, and employee documents. Its Free plan lists one user, five records, email reminders, document storage, and five AI document parses, with no credit card required.
Lapsewise Pro lists $29 per workspace per month or $290 billed annually, excluding applicable VAT or sales tax. It includes up to 20 users, unlimited records, all 12 modules, 300 AI parses per month, and Slack reminders. SMS uses the customer's own Twilio account, with Twilio charges billed separately.
AI parsing suggests dates and other fields from PDFs and supported images. Users review, correct, and select suggestions before creating or updating records. Record evidence packs include retained attachments, renewal cycles, responsibility, and retained delivery/change history.
Lapsewise's terms state a 14-day money-back guarantee from first payment on paid plans. That is a refund policy; it should not be confused with a verified 14-day free Pro trial. Read the current conditions directly.
What Deadline Shield offers
Deadline Shield analyzes documents for candidate dates, shows available source evidence, and asks you to review and approve dates before saving reminders. Solo starts at $19/month or $190/year for one individual workflow with up to 100 active deadlines. New-workspace limits are 500 for Business, 1,000 for Pro, and 3,000 for Operations. Existing workspace allowances and approved written offers are honored. See all prices, capacities, and terms.
The free one-document scan is a limited preview, not an ongoing free tracking plan. It needs no account or credit card. Ongoing tracking requires an account and a paid plan. Operations adds team assignments, acknowledgements, management visibility, and completion evidence.
Human review and source context are shared ideas in this category. Do not choose on the assumption that only one product offers them. Compare the exact review flow, reminder options, and limits that matter to your work.
Which workflow fits?
- Consider Lapsewise Free if five records and one user are enough and ongoing free tracking is important.
- Consider Lapsewise Pro if its published 20-user allowance, module-based records, or Slack reminders fit your workflow. Its lower-priced team allowance is a meaningful difference to evaluate.
- Consider Deadline Shield Solo if you want an individual document-review-to-reminder workflow starting at $19/month with up to 100 active deadlines.
- For team follow-through, compare Lapsewise's record responsibility and evidence packs with Deadline Shield Operations' acknowledgements, management visibility, escalation, and completion evidence. Test the actual workflows rather than assuming the feature labels mean the same thing.
Compare the units before the prices
Lapsewise counts records; Deadline Shield counts saved, active deadlines. AI parses are a separate Lapsewise allowance. Deadline Shield's active-item limit is not a monthly document-analysis quota. The allowances are not directly interchangeable.
Test a notice window, not just an end date
Use a sample document you are allowed to share. Check the renewal date and the earlier cancellation notice deadline separately, review the original wording, and confirm when reminders would arrive. A missed notice window can leave you locked into another term. Neither a comparison page nor an AI suggestion replaces checking the contract.
