How does SmartJudge compare to other tools?

We don’t audit other providers, so we won’t make claims about what they do or don’t offer. Instead, here is what SmartJudge does, grouped the way we think matters most. You can hold any other tool up against the same list.

The report

  • Cites the legal basis for its assessment. The report works through the factors a court weighs under section 25 and explains its reasoning, rather than just giving a number.
  • Sets out a simple split of the assets. You get a clear starting point for how the house, pensions, savings and other assets would be likely to divide.
  • No name, address or phone number needed to get the result. You sign in with an email address so your answers are saved privately, but nobody calls you back before you see your result.
  • Anchored to a vetted summary of leading England and Wales authorities, with a citation guardrail. The report cites only from that set, and a technical check stops it inventing case law. See why you can trust SmartJudge.

Ease of use

  • A chatbot on hand to help with the questions. Ask it what a question means or what to put if you’re unsure.
  • Works well on a mobile phone. You can even add it to your home screen.
  • Shows how much is left to complete, so you always know where you are.
  • Fast, accessible and built to web best practice.
  • Sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook, or with an email address and password.
  • Plain language, avoiding jargon wherever possible.
  • Only asks questions the report actually uses.
  • No name required. See how you can remain anonymous.
  • Short steps, saved automatically as you go, so you can stop and come back whenever you like.
  • Prefill from your Form E. If you already have your own Form E, upload it and the questions it answers are filled in for you to check.
  • Populate and export your Form E. Your answers can be exported into a Form E for you to review and complete. See how SmartJudge can help with your Form E.

Control of your data

  • Export your data in a range of formats: PDF, HTML or JSON.
  • Edit or delete your data at any time.
  • Optional two-factor authentication, or a passkey, for an extra layer of protection on your account.
  • Edit your answers and export them to a Form E.

There is also a printable version of this checklist on the What Would a Judge Say? website.
