How we compared: we read each vendor's public website and documentation on 26 October 2026 and list only what they state there. PatentAssist facts come from this site. Prices are as published on that date. Disclosure: PatentAssist makes one of the products compared.
Solve Intelligence is one of the most complete AI patent platforms on the market: drafting, office action responses, prior art search and invalidity, FTO and infringement charts, with a choice of US or EU processing. Teams that look elsewhere usually do so for practical reasons. The price is only available through a demo, the drafting page does not name the DPMA or IP India, and some firms would rather stay in Word. Below are six alternatives, with what each does better and what it gives up.
Quick answer
Stay with Solve, or shortlist it, if you need drafting and contentious work on one platform with EU processing and vendor certifications. If drafting is the job and you want four office formats, a published price and a trial today, start with PatentAssist. If Word is non-negotiable, look at DeepIP; if EU hosting and European languages matter most, IPRally.
Who Solve Intelligence suits
Solve suits law firms and in-house IP teams that want one platform across drafting, prosecution and contentious work and are comfortable buying through a demo. Its site says it is built for law firms and enterprises and is trusted by more than 700 in-house IP teams and law firms. Customers choose US or EU processing, and Solve states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, with ISO 42001 in progress. Chemistry and life-sciences practices get Markush claims and ST.26 sequence listings, which few drafting tools handle.
Why teams look for a Solve Intelligence alternative
- No published price
- Solve's enterprise page offers pricing "tailored to your firm or organization", and every route in is a demo. Solo practitioners and small firms who want to know the cost, or to try the output on a real disclosure this week, look for self-serve tools.
- Office coverage
- The drafting page names "USPTO, EPO, PCT and more". Teams that file German-language applications at the DPMA or Indian complete specifications want those formats named and tested before they commit.
- Where the drafting happens
- Solve is a browser platform with Word-compatible templates. Firms whose review process lives entirely in Word sometimes prefer an add-in.
- Scope
- If the job is drafting, a platform that also covers litigation charts can be more than a small team needs or wants to pay for.
6 alternatives to Solve Intelligence
1. PatentAssist.ai
Best for: Patent attorneys, firms, in-house teams and startups drafting for the USPTO, EPO, DPMA and IP India
PatentAssist is the closest like-for-like if drafting is the main job and you want to start without a sales process. It takes a disclosure to claims, description, abstract and drawings (Beta) in USPTO, EPO, DPMA (in German) or IP India format, with AI patent search and patentability reports in the same workspace, at $29 or $90 a month with a 7-day trial. What it does not do: invalidity, FTO or infringement charts, or US and European office action responses (its office action support covers Indian FERs, in beta). On data, PatentAssist runs its AI on Azure OpenAI in EU regions but hosts the app and your files in Azure Central India. It relies on Azure's and AWS's SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications rather than holding its own. If EU storage or vendor certifications are hard requirements, Solve's EU option is stronger.
2. DeepIP
Best for: Teams that want to keep drafting inside Microsoft Word
If the reason to move is Word, DeepIP is the obvious candidate. It drafts inside Word from disclosures, notes or drawings, adapts to USPTO, EPO and PCT requirements, turns sketches into line art, and drafts office action responses with case-law citations. Its certification list is the broadest here: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and § 203 StGB for German firms. Pricing is on request, the trial starts with a form that needs a work email, and no EU hosting option is stated.
3. IPRally
Best for: Teams already using IPRally search who want drafting in the same app, in several European languages
IPRally suits teams that want EU hosting and European languages. It runs on dedicated EU and US Google Cloud environments, states ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and drafts in Global, EPO or USPTO style in eight languages, including German, French and Italian, next to its established AI prior art search. Drafting launched in October 2026, office action work is still a prototype, and it sells annual per-seat subscriptions quoted after a demo.
4. Patlytics
Best for: Litigation-side work: infringement and invalidity charts and portfolio analysis
If the contentious side of Solve is what you use most, Patlytics is the nearest match: evidence-of-use and infringement charts, invalidity search and portfolio analysis, plus drafting and office action modules. It states SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001. It does not list drawing generation, names no patent office formats and is sold through demos.
6. ClaimMaster
Best for: Proofreading, claim checks and USPTO forms inside Microsoft Word
ClaimMaster is the budget and maximum-control choice. It is a Word add-in that runs locally and sends drafting requests only to the LLM you configure, including local models. It assists rather than writes a whole first draft, is built around USPTO practice, and costs $20 to $75 per user per month billed annually, with a 30-day trial.

PatentAssist publishes this guide and is one of the options. Details of other tools come from their own websites, checked 26 October 2026. Prices in US dollars as each vendor publishes them; "Pricing on request" means no price is public. Certifications and data locations are as each vendor states them, so ask for the certificate or DPA before you rely on it.
Where PatentAssist fits, and where it does not
PatentAssist is strongest when you draft for more than one office. One disclosure becomes a USPTO, EPO, DPMA (in German) or IP India application, with the claims written first and drawings and AI patent search in the same workspace. AI processing runs in Azure EU regions under a GDPR DPA, and prices in US dollars are on the website. It is not a litigation analytics tool, it is not a Word add-in, and it does not draft US or European office action responses. Its app and files are hosted in Azure Central India, as the sub-processor list shows, and the security page sets out what it is and is not certified for.
