EU AI Act compliance software for teams shipping AI into the EU
Software and tool in one: classification, obligations map, Annex IV documentation, and audit trail. Start free, no credit card — in under 10 minutes you have your risk class and the obligations attached to it.
Built by an IEEE-published AI engineer for teams shipping AI into the EU.
What is EU AI Act compliance software?
EU AI Act compliance software helps providers and deployers of AI systems classify their risk under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, map the obligations that apply (Articles 8–15, 26, 50, 53), and produce the technical documentation regulators expect. Legalithm does this self-serve, free, in under 10 minutes — no consultant required.
What Legalithm does for you
Classification in under 10 minutes
Guided assessment against Article 6, Annex III, and Article 5 — prohibited practice, high-risk, limited risk, or minimal risk. With references to the binding wording.
Per-system obligations map
Each classified system gets its applicable obligations (risk management, data, documentation, transparency, oversight) — driven by your answers and the current deadlines.
Annex IV template and evidence
Technical documentation in Annex IV structure, exportable as PDF, with references back to EUR-Lex and the in-house article guides for every obligation.
Audit trail and versioning
Every decision is logged — who classified what when, which obligations were confirmed, what evidence is on file. Prerequisite for Article 12 and Article 26(6).
How it works — in three steps
Classify your AI system
Answer guided questions about role, domain, and use. Legalithm determines your risk class under Article 6, Annex III, and Article 5.
Get your obligations list
You receive the exact set of applicable obligations with deadlines and article references — no more parsing 144 pages of statute.
Document & evidence
Export Annex IV technical documentation as PDF and keep an audit trail that holds up in front of market-surveillance authorities.
What the EU AI Act requires — and where Legalithm helps
Every obligation links to the binding wording. Jump straight to the article guide:
Who it is for
AI startup CTOs (Seed–Series A, 5–50 people)
You are shipping an AI product into the EU and need classification + documentation without paying mid-five-figures a year for an enterprise GRC suite.
Providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems
Hiring algorithms, credit scoring, education, critical infrastructure — you must meet Articles 9–15 and Article 26 and need a platform that turns that into a workable workflow.
GPAI providers and downstream integrators
You train or integrate foundation models. Articles 53 and 55 (systemic risk) apply — we map the documentation duties and copyright policy automatically.
Compliance leads in EU mid-market
You need an EU-based tool with German-language support, EUR-Lex references, and an audit trail that holds up in front of market-surveillance authorities.

Frequently asked questions
Is the EU AI Act assessment really free?
Yes. The public assessment (risk classification + obligations map + PDF export) runs without an account or credit card. Advanced features — dashboard, audit trail, multi-user — sit behind a free account; the base tier stays free through April 2028.
How is Legalithm different from OneTrust or generic GRC tools?
Enterprise GRC tools like OneTrust start at several thousand euros a year and cover privacy/ISO/GDPR — AI compliance is an add-on. Legalithm is AI-Act-native: 113 fully annotated articles, a conformity-assessment workflow for Annex IV, GPAI obligations, and a public assessment that converts cold traffic into self-serve classification — priced for startups and SMEs.
When do I actually need to use an EU AI Act compliance tool?
As soon as your product uses AI in the EU — whether you are a provider or a deployer. High-risk obligations now apply from 2 December 2027 (postponed by the Omnibus). GPAI obligations have applied since August 2025; transparency and watermarking duties from 2 December 2026. Early classification prevents expensive retrofit documentation.
Is there free EU AI Act compliance software?
Yes. Legalithm is EU AI Act compliance software that is fully free to use through April 2028 — risk classification, obligations mapping, Annex IV documentation, and PDF export, with no credit card. Most alternatives (OneTrust, Credo AI, Holistic AI) are enterprise tools starting at several thousand euros a year.
What is the best EU AI Act compliance software for startups and SMEs?
Startups and SMEs need self-serve classification without a consulting setup and without enterprise pricing. Legalithm is built for exactly that: in under 10 minutes you go from "which AI system?" to risk class, obligations list, and exportable Annex IV documentation — with references to the binding wording. Enterprise GRC suites over-serve lean teams on both setup and cost.
