Pricing is where a lot of software quietly stops being honest. The headline number is one thing; the real cost arrives later, in overage meters, setup fees, seat minimums, and "contact sales" walls that exist to stop you comparing. We wanted a pricing model we could put in front of a careful solicitor and defend line by line. Here is the thinking. The figures themselves live on the pricing page — this post is about why they are shaped the way they are.

Flat per seat

You pay per person who uses it, at a flat rate. Not per matter, not per document, not per AI call metered to the fraction. A solicitor should be able to open the tool and work without a meter running in the corner of their eye, and a firm should be able to predict its bill from its headcount.

Flat per seat also means no seat minimum. A sole practitioner pays for one seat. There is no floor that quietly excludes the small firm the product is largely built for.

A generous allowance, not a trap

Each plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance — generous enough that ordinary use sits comfortably inside it. The allowance exists so the numbers are honest about what the AI costs to run, not so we can catch you crossing a line you couldn't see coming. It is sized for real work, not as bait.

Managed key with no setup — or your own key at the top

The AI has to be paid for somehow, and there are two honest ways to arrange it.

On the everyday plans, we manage the key. You do nothing — no accounts to open with an AI provider, no credentials to configure. It works out of the box, and the AI cost is handled for you within your allowance.

At the top of the range, you bring your own key. Your own provider credentials sit in the path, your AI usage is billed to you directly at your provider's own rates, and your contract for the model is with the provider rather than with us. The call is still relayed by our proxy — the providers refuse calls made straight from a web page — and that relay keeps neither your key nor your prompt. For a firm that wants the model relationship in its own name, that is the point of the top plan.

Two arrangements, both stated plainly, so a firm can pick the one that matches how it wants to run.

A launch-window allowance boost, not a fake discount

The product is pre-launch, and we wanted to thank the firms who come in early — without pretending the price is something it isn't. So there is no separate "launch price" that will later be revealed as a discount off an inflated number. The price is the price.

Instead, firms that join before the end of August 2026 get their monthly AI credit allowance doubled. More room to work, on the same plan, at the same price. When the window closes, the allowance returns to standard; the price does not move.

No scarcity games

You will not find a "founding cohort", a countdown to a seat that isn't really running out, or a "these terms disappear at midnight" banner. Manufactured urgency is a way of stopping people from thinking, and we would rather they thought.

The whole model is meant to read the way the product is meant to read: built by solicitors, for solicitors, not a generic tool with a legal skin. That includes the bill. The pricing page has the figures — plainly, with no wall in front of them.
