Why Draftable API
Built on strong foundations
Simply designed around you
Customise every detail to fit your workflow.
Security without compromise
Meet the standards regulated industries demand.
Precision in every comparison
Catch every change, every time.
Built to work the way you do
Simply designed around you.
Deploy your way
Hosted or self-hosted. Run on Draftable’s cloud for instant setup, or deploy on your own infrastructure via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS. Same API, same accuracy — you choose where it runs.
Compare across document types
Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, RTF, and plain text. Compare a PDF against a Word document, or a PowerPoint against an earlier version — no conversions needed.
Get results in the format you need
Embed visual comparisons with an iframe, share direct URLs, export as PDFs, or get every change as structured JSON for reporting and automated workflows.
Scale without limits
Priced by volume of comparison, not per user. Self-hosted instances include unlimited comparisons. Share results with as many people as you need at no extra cost.

Three ways to review. Side by side with synchronised scrolling. Page by page in redline. Or jump to any change using the clickable change list.
Choose the deployment that fits your requirements
API Self-Hosted
Built for on-premise deployments and supplied as a containerised solution. Documents stay on your servers, with full compliance with internal data policies. Deploy via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS – built on the same comparison engine. Trial licence available on request.
Best for:
Organisations in regulated industries like finance, legal, healthcare or government, or any team with strict data residency or compliance requirements.
API Hosted
Draftable manages the infrastructure — you call our cloud API and embed the results. Start comparing documents in minutes, with no infrastructure to provision or maintain, automatic updates and improvements, and enterprise-grade security (ISO 27001, SOC 2). Service level guarantees available.
Best for:
Teams that want to ship fast without managing infrastructure – SaaS products, startups, and teams where speed-to-market matters most.
