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.
PatentAssist is a complete drafting workspace, not an add-in. It takes an invention disclosure to claims, specification, abstract and drawings in USPTO, EPO, DPMA or IP India format, alongside AI patent search, from $29 a month. DeepIP is a Microsoft Word add-in priced on request, with its trial behind a request form.

The verdict
If you want a whole first draft rather than help inside a document you are still writing, PatentAssist is the stronger choice. It drafts the claims and specification for you, generates the drawings, checks the prior art in the same place and exports a clean .docx, at a price on the website.
Where PatentAssist pulls ahead
- A full draft, not an assistant: PatentAssist writes the claims first and then the full specification, abstract and figure descriptions from your disclosure, and exports .docx in the office's format.
- Four office formats: PatentAssist drafts to four office formats from one disclosure: USPTO, EPO, DPMA (delivered in German, with German headings) and IP India. DeepIP's drafting page names USPTO, EPO and PCT requirements.
- Public pricing and an instant trial: PatentAssist costs $29 a month (Lite, 300 credits) or $90 a month (Pro, 1,500 credits), with every feature on both plans and a 7-day free trial. DeepIP doesn't publish prices, and its free trial starts with a request form.
- Drawings from your claims: PatentAssist builds the figure plan, reference numerals and rendered drawings (Beta) from the claims. DeepIP turns your sketches into line art and flowcharts.
- AI processing in the EU: PatentAssist runs every AI request on Azure OpenAI in the EU (Sweden Central and Italy North). It covers every account with a GDPR Article 28 DPA, publishes its full sub-processor list and never trains on your content. DeepIP states no EU hosting option.
