Pricing models

4 ways contract software is priced.

The pricing model affects total cost more than the list price. Know what you're comparing.

1
Flat monthly fee, metered reviews
A flat monthly fee that includes a set number of reviews. You know the bill before the month starts, and the review allowance tells you which plan you need. Cheapest per review if you use most of the allowance.
Typical range: $9/month for 10 reviews, $29 for 30, $79 for 100
Best for: SMBs that review a predictable handful of contracts each month
2
Per-review credits
You buy credits and use them per review. Good if review volume is low and unpredictable. Gets expensive at volume.
Typical range: $5-$50 per review
Best for: Businesses reviewing fewer than 10 contracts per month
3
Enterprise CLM pricing
Annual contracts with implementation fees. Covers full CLM workflow including review. High upfront commitment.
Typical range: $500-$3,000+/month
Best for: Legal ops teams at mid-market and enterprise businesses
4
Per-hour legal review
Traditional lawyer review. Most expensive per-document but includes legal expertise and negotiation advice.
Typical range: from $175/hr (US smaller cities) to £300/hr (UK) to $400-$800+/hr (AU major cities)
Best for: Complex, high-value transactions requiring legal expertise

The SMB end of the market starts around $9 a month. Kontractually is $9 for 10 reviews a month, $29 for 30 and $79 for 100. Mid-market playbook tools sit between $200 and $400 a month per user, and enterprise CLM platforms such as Ironclad, SpotDraft and DocuSign CLM run $500 to $3,000+ a month on an annual contract with an implementation fee. Per-review credit pricing looks cheap at $5 to $50 a review until you do ten in a month. The number that decides your real cost is not the list price, it is how many contracts you actually put through in a month, so count that first and then pick the plan.

At $9 a month the question is barely worth modelling. That is less than one billable six-minute unit of a commercial lawyer's time, for ten reviews. If the software catches one unfair clause, one missing liability cap, or one non-compliant employment contract before you sign, the year is paid for. The honest limit is volume, not value: if you review more than 100 contracts a month, a metered SMB plan is the wrong shape and you should be looking at CLM.

Three plans, billed monthly, cancel any time. Starter is $9 a month and includes 10 contract reviews, 10 custom playbooks, all 16 industry templates, full audit trail and Word redline export. Professional is $29 a month for 30 reviews and adds the Knowledge Base, automatic playbook generation from your own documents, Outlook integration and data export. Business is $79 a month for 100 reviews and adds unlimited playbooks, obligation tracking with deadline alerts, up to 15 users with roles, and priority support. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and no credit card. The review allowance is the thing to size on, so count a normal month before you choose.

Per-review charges that add up at volume. Implementation and onboarding fees for enterprise tools. Annual contract lock-in with penalty clauses for cancellation. Seat minimums that require you to pay for more users than you need. Storage limits for contract archives. Kontractually charges one flat monthly fee with the review allowance stated on the plan - 10, 30 or 100 a month - and no implementation fee, no seat minimum, no per-review surcharge and no annual lock-in. Cancel any month.

For standard contracts, AI review software handles 80%+ of the systematic review work - checking clauses against your rules and flagging deviations. You still need a lawyer for: complex transactions, novel issues, negotiation strategy, and genuine legal disputes. The typical outcome: businesses run standard agreements through Kontractually and save lawyer time for the genuinely complex ones. At $9 a month, a single hour of external legal work you no longer need covers the plan for years.
