Pricing comparison
Legal AI with a published per-seat price runs from about $26 to $550 per user per month as of August 1, 2026. The floor is White Shoe AI's Partner plan: $948 a year for 3 users and 130 billable hours a month, which works out to $26.33 per user per month; its single-user Associate plan is $39 per user per month billed annually, or $49 month-to-month, with 40 billable hours. Above the floor, the only published per-seat figure under $299 is MyCase IQ at $100 to $130; the rest sit in a $299 to $550 band, and published enterprise pricing starts at $10,000 a year for 5 users. Most of the category publishes no price at all — Harvey, Legora, Spellbook, CoCounsel, Lexis+ AI, Vaquill AI, and Clio Duo are quote-only or gated — so this page lists them as “Not published” rather than reprinting third-party estimates. Every figure below is sourced to the page it appeared on, with the date it was verified. And because a licence price is not an invoice, the section on what the licence does not cover prices the other five line items and the review time underneath them.

Published prices
Sorted cheapest first by the lowest published per-user monthly figure. White Shoe's rows sit where the arithmetic puts them, not where marketing would.

Per-user figures for multi-user plans are the plan price divided by included users. A plan that includes 3 users costs the same whether two people or three use it, so a smaller team pays a higher effective per-person rate than the table shows — the two-person case is worked through in the FAQ below.
Quote-only vendors
These vendors sell through a procurement process rather than a price list, which is a legitimate model for the buyer they are built for. It does mean a per-seat figure cannot be compared here without inventing one. A quoted price may land above or below anything in the table above; there is no way to know from the outside.
| Product | Published price | What that means | Confirmed on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey | Not published | Quote-only across every source page reviewed. Third-party pages print estimated ranges; the vendor does not publish a price. | haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026Verified Jul 22 2026 |
| Legora | Not published | Quote-only. Ranges that circulate for Legora originate with third-party commentary, not a vendor price list. | haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026Verified Jul 22 2026 |
| Spellbook | Not published | Quote-only. No vendor-published per-seat price was found on any source page reviewed. | haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026Verified Jul 22 2026 |
| CoCounsel (Thomson Reuters) | Not published | Not published as a standalone per-seat price, and commonly bundled with Westlaw. Bundle composition changes what a seat includes, so a single figure would not be comparable even if one were published. | haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026Verified Jul 22 2026 |
| Lexis+ AI | Not published | Not published as a standalone per-seat price, and commonly bundled with Lexis. The same bundling caveat applies. | haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026Verified Jul 22 2026 |
| Vaquill AI | Not published | The vendor's own benchmark page grades its pricing as self-serve and published, and links to a pricing page. That pricing page names three tiers — Counsel, Power, and Enterprise — and prints no dollar amount against any of them. Enterprise reads "Custom. Talk to sales"; the other two require signing up. No per-seat figure was readable without an account. | vaquill.ai/pricingVerified Aug 1 2026 |
| Clio Duo | Not published — gated | A figure of roughly $49–$59 per seat per month circulates on price tables. The page that prints it describes it as an independent 2026 estimate of a price that is gated, charged on top of a paid Clio Manage subscription you must already hold. An estimate of a gated price is not a published price, so it sits here rather than in the table above. | irys.aiVerified Aug 1 2026 |
What the licence does not cover
Every figure above is a licence price. The year-one invoice is a different number, and five line items are where the difference usually lives.
| Cost line | What it is | What White Shoe charges |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation and onboarding fee | A one-time setup, configuration, or training charge, quoted separately from the seat price and often not shown on the pricing page. | $0. Not charged. Checkout is self-serve at the published price — whiteshoe.ai/pricing, Aug 1 2026. |
| Seat minimum and contract term | The smallest number of seats you may buy and the shortest term you may buy them for. This is where a $99 plan becomes a $5,000 commitment. | None. Associate is 1 user; Partner includes 3 without requiring you to fill them. Month-to-month is available at $49 and $99 — whiteshoe.ai/pricing, Aug 1 2026. |
| A required underlying subscription | Some AI products are add-ons that only run on top of a platform licence you must also buy. Clio Duo is sold on top of a paid Clio Manage subscription; CoCounsel and Lexis+ AI are described as bundled with Westlaw and Lexis respectively. | None. White Shoe is not an add-on and requires no other vendor's licence. |
| Usage and storage overage | What you pay when you exceed what the plan includes, and whether that rate is published or discovered on an invoice. | Published. On Enterprise, additional usage is sold in 200-hour monthly blocks at $1 per hour. On Associate and Partner, additional billable hours are purchased in-account, and unused hours do not roll over — whiteshoe.ai/pricing, Aug 1 2026. |
| Renewal uplift | The percentage your price rises at renewal. Frequently unstated at signature. | None. No renewal uplift is published or applied to the published plan prices — whiteshoe.ai/pricing, Aug 1 2026. |
The add-on and bundling structures named above are sourced to irys.ai (verified August 1, 2026) for Clio Duo, and gc.ai (updated Jul 29 2026) for CoCounsel and Lexis+ AI. Where another vendor's figure is not shown in the right-hand column, it is because it is not published, not because it is zero.
Every figure on this page is a licence price. The bigger line item is the lawyer who checks the output — a cost the haqq.ai 2026 pricing survey identifies as larger than most of the licences in the category (haqq.ai/blog/legal-ai-pricing-2026, verified Jul 22 2026). Price it directly: review hours per month multiplied by your own loaded hourly rate. White Shoe does not reduce this to zero and does not claim to — outputs are informational and must be reviewed by a qualified legal professional. A product that shortens review time is worth more than a product that is cheaper per seat, and neither this table nor any other per-seat table can show you that.
Methodology
A price qualifies if a buyer can read it without talking to a salesperson. Every figure in the first table was printed on the page cited next to it, on the date cited next to it. Where the figure came from a third-party price table rather than the vendor's own page, the table says so in the self-serve column instead of implying the vendor published it.
Several widely-read pricing roundups print dollar ranges for Harvey, Legora, and CoCounsel. Those ranges are third-party estimates, not vendor price lists. Reprinting them as prices would make this page look more complete and be less true. They are listed as "Not published" instead. The same test removed two rows from the first table on August 1, 2026: Vaquill AI, whose pricing page names three tiers and prints no figure against any of them, and Clio Duo, whose circulating $49–$59 range is described by the page printing it as an independent estimate of a gated price. An estimate of a gated price is not a published price, including when excluding it costs this page its two cheapest competitor rows.
The source column distinguishes three things a buyer should not have to untangle. A vendor-page figure was printed by the vendor itself: White Shoe AI, Irys, Paxton AI, and GC AI. A third-party figure was printed by someone else about the vendor, which is weaker evidence and is labelled as such: MyCase IQ, and LegalOn, whose $550 figure was published on the vendor's own page in June 2026 before that page was removed. Neither means the price is not readable anywhere, which is the second table.
Seat minimums are rarely stated on the pages where prices are published. Rather than infer one, this page says "Not stated in the cited source" and leaves it to the reader. The White Shoe rows are filled in because they come from the published plan definitions.
Rows are sorted cheapest first by the lowest published per-user monthly figure, including the White Shoe rows in their honest position. Where a plan includes multiple users, the per-user figure is the plan price divided by the included users — the same arithmetic applied to every row.
A per-seat figure is a starting point for a budget, not a business case. What the licence does not cover is worked through in its own section above, including the review time no vendor prices and every buyer pays. What no table can tell you is whether a given product is any good at your work. That is what a trial is for.

What the price buys
Plans differ by included users and included billable hours. They do not differ by feature gating.
Task-specific associates spanning the work a legal team actually runs, available on every plan.
The organization-context layer, in three parts: company profile, style rules, and knowledge base.
The Associates run in Web, Email, Slack, Microsoft Word, Chrome, and iOS — the work happens in these tools, so the product does too.
40 hours a month on Associate, 130 on Partner, and 200 shared hours at the 5-user Enterprise floor.
Published pricing. No sales call. No seat minimum. Enterprise publishes its formula rather than hiding it behind a quote.
The product is live and publicly listed, so the claims on this page can be checked independently.
One thing sits outside that list. White Shoe also runs an OAuth-protected MCP server that hands approved workspace context to supported third-party AI clients. It is not a surface the Associates run in, and unlike the surfaces above, the tools it exposes vary by plan, granted OAuth scope, and workspace permissions.
White Shoe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Open the cited source and confirm the citation before relying on an output; outputs are informational and require review by a qualified legal professional.
Direct answers
Among products with a published price, the lowest per-user figure in this comparison is White Shoe AI's Partner plan at $26.33 per user per month — $948 a year for 3 users and 130 billable hours a month. Billed monthly it is $33.00 per user. The single-user Associate plan is $39 per user per month billed annually, or $49 month-to-month. Products whose price is not published may or may not be lower; there is no way to know from the outside, which is the point of this page.
As of August 1, 2026, the vendors printing a per-seat price on their own page are White Shoe AI, Irys ($299/seat/month), Paxton AI ($499/user/month) and GC AI ($500/seat/month). Figures for MyCase IQ ($100–$130/seat) and LegalOn ($550/month, from a vendor page since removed) appear on third-party tables. Harvey, Legora, Spellbook, CoCounsel, Lexis+ AI, Vaquill AI, and Clio Duo do not publish a per-seat price a buyer can read: Vaquill's pricing page names three tiers without a figure against any of them, and Clio Duo's price is gated behind a Clio Manage subscription, with the circulating $49–$59 range being an independent estimate rather than a vendor figure.
Yes. White Shoe AI's Associate plan is a single user at $49 a month with no minimum and no sales call, and the Partner plan includes 3 users without requiring that you fill them. For most other vendors, seat minimums are not stated on the page where the price is published, so this page does not guess at them.
On published pricing, a two-person team fits the Partner plan, which includes 3 users and 130 billable hours a month for $948 a year or $99 a month. Across two people actually using it, that is $39.50 per person per month billed annually, or $49.50 billed monthly — and the third seat is there if the team grows. For contrast, two seats of a $499–$550 per-seat product would run $11,976 to $13,200 a year on the published figures in the table above.
Because those figures are third-party estimates rather than vendor-published prices. This page treats a price as published only when a buyer can read it on a real page, so those vendors are listed as "Not published" with the source where that was confirmed. Quote-only pricing is a legitimate commercial model, and a quoted price may well come in below a published one. It simply cannot be compared on a table like this one without inventing the number.
Every White Shoe plan includes the same product: 31 AI Associates, Firm IQ for organization context, and the Associates running in Web, Email, Slack, Microsoft Word, Chrome, and iOS. Plans differ by included users and included billable hours, not by feature gating. White Shoe also runs an OAuth-protected MCP server that hands approved workspace context to supported third-party AI clients; that is a separate connection rather than a surface the Associates run in, and the tools it exposes vary by plan, granted OAuth scope, and workspace permissions — see whiteshoe.ai/platform/mcp. Outputs are informational and should be reviewed by a qualified legal professional; White Shoe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
It means you should check rather than assume. White Shoe encrypts data in transit over TLS and at rest through managed-provider protections, runs the production application on Google Cloud Run in us-east1, and does not train its own foundation models on customer content. White Shoe does not currently have a SOC 2 report; there is a readiness program in progress. If a SOC 2 report is a procurement requirement today, that is a real constraint worth knowing before a trial rather than after one. The full detail, including subprocessor disclosure, is at whiteshoe.ai/security.
Five line items sit outside the per-seat price and belong on the year-one invoice. First, an implementation or onboarding fee: a one-time setup, configuration, or training charge quoted separately and often absent from the pricing page. Second, the seat minimum and minimum contract term, which is how a $99 plan becomes a $5,000 commitment. Third, a required underlying subscription: some AI products are add-ons that only run on a platform licence you must also buy, so a Clio Duo seat presumes a paid Clio Manage subscription, and CoCounsel and Lexis+ AI are described as bundled with Westlaw and Lexis. Fourth, usage and storage overage — what you pay past what the plan includes, and whether that rate is published or discovered on an invoice. Fifth, renewal uplift, the percentage your price rises in year two, frequently unstated at signature. The largest cost is none of these: it is the lawyer who reviews the output. No vendor prices it and every buyer pays it, and the haqq.ai 2026 pricing survey puts it above most of the licences in the category. Price it as review hours per month times your own loaded hourly rate.
Seven questions, of every vendor, including this one. What is the total year-one invoice, all in, including implementation? What is the seat minimum and the minimum contract term? What does the same plan cost monthly versus annually? Does this require any other subscription I must buy separately? What are the overage rates for usage and storage, and are they published? What is the renewal uplift, in writing, before I sign? Who verifies the output, and how long does that take per matter? A vendor that answers all seven in writing before a signature is telling you something about how the renewal conversation will go.
