Lextract vs Orbital
An AI-powered contract intelligence platform built for CRE law firms and conveyancers, offering lease abstraction and title/survey analysis with firm-specific output guidance.
Overview
Orbital and Lextract both use AI to extract data from commercial lease documents, but they are built for different buyers. Orbital is built for CRE law firms and conveyancers — teams that need AI assistance during legal due diligence, title and survey review, and transaction work. Lextract is built for CRE property managers, investors, tenant representatives, and brokers who need structured lease data for portfolio operations, PMS import, and financial modeling.
The distinction matters because the output requirements differ. Legal workflows need contextual extraction calibrated to firm guidance and deal-specific provisions. Property management and investment workflows need standardized structured data at known cost per lease with direct export to property management systems.

Pricing
Lextract
$20 for a single lease. Volume pricing: $90 for 5 leases ($18 each) and $170 for 10 leases ($17 each). No subscription or setup fees.
Orbital
Enterprise subscription pricing. Demo required. Designed for law firm and institutional buyer procurement cycles.
Orbital is priced for enterprise legal buyers — law firms and institutions with procurement processes, implementation budgets, and ongoing subscription commitments. Lextract is priced for any CRE professional who needs lease data now: $20 per lease, no demo required, no subscription. For property management teams and investors, Lextract's economics are straightforward. For law firms that need AI calibrated to their specific guidance framework across lease and title/survey documents, Orbital addresses a different set of requirements.

Who Should Use Each
Choose Lextract if...
Property managers, CRE investors, tenant representatives, lenders, and any professional who needs structured commercial lease data for operations, portfolio review, or PMS import — without enterprise procurement.
Choose Orbital if...
CRE law firms and conveyancers that need AI assistance on full transaction document stacks (leases, title, surveys) with output calibrated to firm-specific legal guidance.
The Verdict
Orbital and Lextract serve different buyers with different output requirements. Orbital is the right tool for CRE law firms that need AI assistance across their full document workflow — leases, title, PSAs — with output aligned to firm guidance. That is a legitimate use case that Lextract does not serve.
For CRE property managers, investors, tenant reps, and brokers who need structured lease data for portfolio operations, Lextract is the right tool: 126 structured fields, $20/lease, per-field confidence scores, 20 red flag checks, and no implementation overhead. The two platforms are not competing for the same buyer.
