Pricing

Three lines, and you can see all three.

$199 a month for the firm, including 3 people and 100 GB of storage; $59 a month for each person after that. AI usage is metered on top and itemized.

The flat fee covers the platform and the people using it. What genuinely varies with the size of a case stays on its own line, itemized, so you can always see which part is expensive — a flat price on a cost with no ceiling is a bet against our own customers.[1]

Line one

The platform

The firm, including 3 people and 100 GB of storage $199/mo
Each additional person $59/mo
Your clients, in the client portal free, unlimited

Charging you per client to let clients see their own case would be charging for the thing that makes this worth having. Seats are counted from people who have accepted an invitation — an invitation nobody has taken up costs nothing.

Line two

Storage, past what is included

TierAllowanceOn top of the fee
Included 100 GB included
Practice 500 GB $79/mo
Firm 2 TB $199/mo

Tiers rather than a per-gigabyte rate, deliberately: a firm billed by the gigabyte hesitates before adding a document, and a case file with hesitation in it is worth less than a complete one. Going over an allowance charges you nothing automatically and blocks nothing — we come and talk to you about closing out finished matters. Archived matters count at a third of their size.

Line three

What the AI costs

Metered per operation and drawn from a prepaid balance. These are the figures you would be charged, not what it costs us.

OperationPrice
Reading a document — once, ever $0.27 / 100 pages The largest single cost, and the reason every later question is cheap.
A question asked of the file about $0.05 Answered from the facts, not by re-reading the documents.
Comparing an arriving document against the record about $0.04
Rebuilding the chronology about $0.04
A case digest about $0.03
A billing narrative for one time entry about $0.005

These are estimates, and they are marked that way for a reason. They are computed from representative documents on our own demo file at today's model prices, not averaged from your billed usage. Your documents will vary. Your own ledger shows the real figure for every call the moment it happens.[2]

Reading is the one expensive operation, and it happens once. A 10,000-page production reads for about $27 — after which every question, chronology and comparison against it costs cents, because they work from the facts that reading produced rather than the documents.[3]

Within a matter, the same document is never ingested, read, or billed twice. A file already in the matter — the same bytes, arriving again by upload, by email, or in a bulk import, from a production, a client dump, or a second custodian — is recognized by its seal and costs nothing: it is neither read again nor charged again.

Flat, and never multiplied

Closing a case, and leaving

Closing a matter out to cold storage $75
Exporting a matter, in full, to take away $50

The export fee is deliberately cheap and deliberately advertised. Every document in the clear, the fact ledger, both timelines, the parties and the audit trail as CSV a paralegal can open, plus a checksum manifest — and nothing in the bundle needs this software to read.[4] A firm that believes it cannot leave is a firm that never fully commits, so the cheap exit is part of the trust story rather than a revenue line.

Per page, never multiplied

Getting documents in

Every document that arrives in a matter is priced the same way, whichever way it arrived — uploaded, emailed to the matter’s own address, or handed over as a whole closed case. A closed case usually arrives as a banker’s box or a folder of scans, and we take the directory as it is — no re-scanning, no renaming, no per-file upload — and it becomes a matter overnight.

Bringing a document in, per page — uploaded, emailed, or imported $0.02
A 5,000-page closed case, in full $100
Searchable PDFs of everything scanned, handed back included

Per page rather than per gigabyte, because a page is the work and a gigabyte is the scanner’s settings — pricing the bytes would charge you most for the case that was scanned worst. It is charged once, as each file is read in. A file with no pages of its own — a Word document, an email, an image — counts as one page, however long it is; audio and video are not priced per page at all and pay the per-hour transcription rate below instead. The searchable copies are yours to keep whatever you decide about us afterwards. Within a matter, the same document is never ingested, read, or billed twice. A file already in the matter — the same bytes, arriving again by upload, by email, or in a bulk import, from a production, a client dump, or a second custodian — is recognized by its seal and costs nothing: it is neither read again nor charged again.

A paid pilot is $350. One closed case of yours, up to about 5,000 pages, run end to end: read, findings, chronology, and the searchable copies back. It ends on your own cost ledger — every operation, itemized, so you see what it actually cost before you pay for anything beyond the pilot.

Flat per production, never multiplied

Getting a case out

A production is the one artifact in litigation that has to be exactly right on the first try: the other side loads it into their review platform, and a set that will not load is a meet-and-confer about your competence.

Assembling a production — every page stamped with its Bates number, the load files, and a manifest hashing what actually left $75
Packaging a document for e-filing — PDF/A, bookmarks, and split under the court’s size ceiling included

Flat whatever the size, because assembling forty pages and assembling four thousand is the same run — pricing it per page would charge you most for the production you least wanted to make. Packaging a filing is free on purpose, because a fee people avoid is a fee that makes them file the wrong PDF, and that is the one mistake here that costs a firm real money.

One thing we do not do: redactions are held as coordinates and are never burned into the page, so a production containing a redacted document is refused rather than produced. Delivering a file whose redactions exist only as numbers in a table would hand over the material somebody marked for withholding.

Per hour of recording

Depositions and recordings

Transcribing audio or video, per hour of recording $6
Key frames from a video, stored and indexed included

Measured from the recording itself rather than its file size, so a huge uncompressed file of a short deposition costs what the deposition costs. It runs on our own hardware, not at a transcription vendor. It is speech recognition and not a certified transcript — a search and drafting aid, never a substitute for the reporter’s record — it is English-only, it does not label speakers, and a recording with no speech in it produces no transcript and no charge.

Passing costs to clients

Case costs can be recovered from clients at cost, itemized on a per-matter statement a bookkeeper can staple to an invoice. Recovering AI cost at anything above cost requires an engagement letter carrying cost-recovery terms, and is arranged with us rather than switched on in a settings page — a rail you can drive around in a form is scenery. Both modes are the firm's decision, and neither is on by default.

There is no card payment and no automatic renewal today: topping up a balance is a conversation and an invoice. That is a real limitation, and it is here rather than discovered at signup.
