Legora Pricing: How Much Legora Costs Per Seat, and What Legora Consumption Pricing Changes in a Quote
Legora publishes no price. legora.com/pricing returns a 404, and unlike most missing pages this one was never taken down: the Wayback Machine has no capture of a Legora pricing page in the company's history. What Legora has published is a pricing model, on 23 June 2026, and that announcement changes what a quote from them looks like more than any per seat number does.

If any line is billed on consumption
The seat math above does not capture it. Ask for the unit, the rate, the included allowance, the overage price and what happens at the spending threshold. Legora says thresholds and notifications exist; it has not published the rate.
The default rate is the unsourced 3,000 dollar figure circulating online, not a Legora quote. Replace it with yours. Budgeting legal AI and want the matter work handled inside the file at a price that is printed?
Legora pricing is quote only, the public numbers have no author, and the model just changed
Legora does not publish a price. There is no pricing page on legora.com; the URL returns a 404 and the Wayback Machine has never captured one, so it is not a page that was removed, it is a page that never existed. The figure you will see almost everywhere, about 3,000 US dollars per seat per year with a 10 seat minimum, is labeled by the sites publishing it as a market estimate, and none of them names a source, a survey or a person. That is a weaker provenance than Harvey's, where at least a named practitioner wrote the estimate down.
What Legora has said itself is more useful. On 23 June 2026 it announced consumption based pricing for Agent Pro, its most capable product, with per matter attribution, spending thresholds and alerts, while stating that the standard Legora Agent stays included for every customer at no additional cost and with no change to existing contract terms. And its own reported numbers, more than 100 million dollars of annual recurring revenue across more than 1,000 customers, put the average Legora contract at roughly 100,000 dollars a year or less. So the honest answer to how much Legora costs is: nobody outside a contract knows the seat rate, and part of the bill is now metered.

What Legora itself has said about price, in its own words
The only pricing statement Legora has ever published is a product update titled "Introducing Consumption-Based Pricing". It contains no dollar figure, no unit and no rate. It does contain four commitments that matter to a buyer, and they are worth reading verbatim because most articles about Legora pricing were written before this post existed or ignore it.
Which product is metered
"We are introducing consumption-based pricing (CBP), alongside the launch of our most capable product, Agent Pro. With CBP, you only pay for the work Agent Pro delivers, and the cost can be attributed to the project that drove it."
Consumption pricing is scoped to Agent Pro. Nothing in the post says the platform seat itself moved to usage billing.
What stays included
"Unlike Agent Pro, the Legora Agent is available to our customers at no additional cost and no changes to their existing contract terms."
This is the sentence to hold a salesperson to. The standard agent is not the metered product, and an existing contract does not reprice because Agent Pro exists.
The controls they promise
"A real-time dashboard tracks consumption by organization, user, or project. Every run can be attributed to the matter, giving law firms cost transparency for each client, and in-house teams a clear measure of return. Admins can set thresholds and spending controls, and notifications are sent before a limit is reached, so customers stay in full control of their spend."
Per matter attribution is the operationally interesting part: it makes Agent Pro usage a candidate for client cost recovery, the way e-discovery hosting already is.
Why they say they did it
"As platforms like Legora become more agentic, usage becomes increasingly variable across users, teams, and organizations. That variability is exactly what seat-based pricing can't absorb." The post names Clay, Cursor and Lovable as companies that made the same move and says "we expect more companies to follow."
Law360 Pulse reported on 26 June 2026 that Harvey and Thomson Reuters have so far stayed on subscription pricing, which makes Legora the first of the three to meter.
What the post does not contain is the thing every buyer needs: the unit of consumption, the price of a unit, any included allowance, or the overage rate. Several articles describe Agent Pro as credit based or token based. Legora's own announcement uses neither word. Until the vendor publishes the unit, any sentence that prices an Agent Pro run is invented.

Where the 3,000 dollar per seat figure and the 10 seat minimum come from
Search for Legora pricing and the first page is entirely third party articles. Not one is a Legora page, because there is no Legora page to rank. We opened each and followed every citation. The pattern is a closed loop: the pages cite each other, and the page most often cited as the origin labels its own numbers estimates.
| Claim | Where it appears | Source the page cites | Primary document behind it |
|---|---|---|---|
| About $3,000 per seat per year | Spellbook, lawxyai, layer3labs, vaquill, thelawgpt | "Market estimates based on industry reporting" (Spellbook); none (lawxyai) | None found |
| 10 seat minimum, $30,000 floor | The same set, plus the Legora vs Harvey comparison pages | No citation on any page checked | None found. Legora's small and mid sized firm page says the opposite in spirit |
| $5,000 to $8,000 per seat per year at enterprise scale | Spellbook, lawxyai | Spellbook cites lawxyai and purple.law; lawxyai cites "industry reports" | Circular. The purple.law page cited contains no Legora dollar figure at all |
| 40 to 60 percent discounts off first quotes | Spellbook, lawxyai | "Reports from legal tech analysts", unnamed | None found |
| Pay as you go, credit based plan | vaquill, aiagentsquare and others | Usually none; sometimes Law360 | Legora's 23 June 2026 post, which confirms consumption billing for Agent Pro but never uses the word credit |
| $550M Series D at $5.55B, extended to $600M at $5.6B | Most articles | Legora newsroom, TechCrunch | Real. Legora press release of 10 March 2026 and TechCrunch, 30 April 2026 |
Compare the Harvey chain
Harvey's circulating price is also an estimate, but it has an author: a briefing by Matej Jambrich of Dentons, republished by Artificial Lawyer on 30 June 2025, and Harvey responded to it on the record. We traced that chain, and the unit error inside it, on the Harvey AI pricing page. The Legora figure has no equivalent origin. There is no practitioner, no publication and no vendor rebuttal, because there was never a specific claim for Legora to rebut.
A number that might be a coincidence
The one legal AI vendor in this category that prints an annual per user rate is Paxton AI, at 2,999 dollars per user per year on its own pricing page. That is, to the dollar, the "about 3,000 per seat per year" the articles attach to Legora. We are not asserting the figures are related. We are pointing out that the only published 3,000 dollar legal AI seat on the market belongs to a different vendor.

What Legora's own reported numbers say about contract size
Legora will not publish a seat rate, but it publishes a great deal about its own scale, and scale arithmetic bounds what a typical contract can be. These are company statements, not estimates, and the arithmetic is ours.
800
customers "across more than 50 markets" in the Series D release of 10 March 2026, alongside the $550 million raise at a $5.55 billion valuation.
1,000+
law firms and in house teams by 30 April 2026, per TechCrunch, when the round was extended by $50 million to a $5.6 billion post money valuation. Roughly 200 customers added in seven weeks.
$100M+
annual recurring revenue, a company statement reported by TechCrunch on 30 April 2026. Divide by the customer count and the average customer pays about $100,000 a year or less.
$11B
Harvey's valuation from its March 2026 round, per the same TechCrunch report, against Legora's $5.6 billion. Harvey claims 100,000 lawyers across 1,300 organizations; Legora says tens of thousands of lawyers across 1,000 plus customers.
What the average tells you, and what it cannot
An average of about 100,000 dollars a year is consistent with the circulating estimate at 30 to 35 seats, and it is consistent with many other combinations. What it rules out is the idea that Legora is only sold in six figure enterprise deals. With White and Case, Linklaters, Cleary Gottlieb and Deloitte on the customer list, those firms are paying far above the average, which means a large number of customers must be paying well below 100,000 dollars a year for the mean to land where Legora says it does. The median Legora contract is smaller than the articles imply.
The small firm page Legora runs
legora.com has a solutions page for small and mid sized firms. Its headline is "Small firm, big league." It says "Leading boutique and mid-size firms run on Legora aOS", promises "Up and running in days, not quarters. No large IT lift", and under a heading that reads "Designed to grow with you" it says "Start lean, grow at your pace." A vendor with a hard 10 seat floor does not usually write "start lean" to boutiques. The page also carries a vendor ROI claim that 30 percent reported Legora has reduced their non billable hours; that is Legora's own study and should be read as marketing.
Our own analysis of the 23 June 2026 model
What consumption pricing changes in a Legora quote, line by line
A seat quote is one number times a headcount. A consumption quote has at least five moving parts, and a proposal that hides any of them is not a quote you can compare. This is what changes and what to ask for on each line.
| Line item | Seat based (Legora Agent, platform) | Consumption based (Agent Pro) | Get in writing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit of charge | A named user for a period | Unpublished. Legora says "the work Agent Pro delivers"; articles say credits or tokens | The unit, defined, with an example of one run |
| Rate | Per seat, with the billing period stated | Per unit, unpublished | Both rates, and whether the unit rate is fixed for the term |
| Predictability | Fixed. Budget once | Variable by matter mix and by month. Legora promises thresholds and pre limit alerts | What happens at the threshold: hard stop, soft warning or overage billing |
| Included allowance | Not applicable | Unknown whether a committed pool is required | Any prepaid commitment, whether unused units expire, and the overage price |
| Client cost recovery | Overhead, rarely billed through | Legora says every run can be attributed to a matter, which makes pass through possible | Whether the dashboard exports per matter usage in a form your billing system accepts |
| Existing contracts | Legora states no change to existing terms for the standard Agent | Agent Pro is an addition, priced on usage | Confirmation that enabling Agent Pro does not reopen the seat contract |
The Law360 Pulse analysis of 26 June 2026 makes the point that consumption pricing shifts risk toward the customer in high usage firms and toward the vendor in flat fee contracts, and quotes one European firm's technology head saying vendors had been hinting at the move for months with "none of them keen to be the first to say it aloud." Legora said it aloud. Expect the others to follow, and negotiate this contract as if the next one will be metered too.

Legal AI rates that are actually printed on a vendor page
These are the numbers the quote decoder above benchmarks against. Every one was read on the vendor's own site on the same day, and each row says exactly where.
| Vendor and product | Where it is printed | Published rate | Try before you sign |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legora | legora.com/pricing returns 404; never archived | None. Agent Pro on consumption, rate unpublished | Book a demo |
| Harvey | harvey.ai/pricing returns 404 | None | Demo request only |
| Paxton AI, Individual | paxton.ai/pricing | $499 per user per month, or $2,999 per user per year | 7 day free trial |
| Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Essentials | Live configurator at sales.legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.com, law firm segment | $360.00 list, $292.50 per month on a three year plan | Self serve purchase |
| LexisNexis Lexis+ with Protégé | store.lexisnexis.com/lawfirms, the self serve store for 1 to 3 attorney firms | "Pricing on request", while Lexis+ Professional without AI shows $432 list and $324 per month on three years | Free trial for the research product |
| Spellbook | Live pricing page, tiers shown | No dollar figure | 7 day free trial advertised |
| Alexi | Live page, no rate card | No dollar figure | Guided trial via sales |
Two of seven print a number for an AI product. The interesting one is LexisNexis: its self serve store prices three research tiers to the dollar and then, for the AI tier, prints "Pricing on request" in the same table. Even a vendor with a public store will not put a number on legal AI. That is the market you are negotiating inside, and it is why walking into a Legora call with the two printed rates changes the conversation.
A sequence that works with quote only vendors
How to get a Legora quote you can actually compare
01
Separate the seat from the meter
Ask for the platform seat fee and the Agent Pro consumption terms as two lines. Legora's own announcement draws that line; make the proposal draw it too. A blended "all in" number hides which part grows with usage.
02
Fix the unit and the period in words
Per seat per year or per seat per month, written out, and for Agent Pro the unit defined with a worked example. The entire Harvey pricing confusion online came from one missing word in a table. Do not let it go missing on an order form.
03
Walk in with printed rates
CoCounsel Essentials at $292.50 on three years and Paxton at $2,999 a year are on public pages. A quote only vendor prices against what you appear to know. Name the dates you read them.
04
Cap the meter and the renewal
A hard spending cap on Agent Pro that you control, and a capped renewal uplift on the seat fee. Both are free to ask for at signature and expensive to buy at renewal, and on a metered product the cap matters more than the discount.
One more thing to price before the call: how much of the work you would meter through Agent Pro is actually frontier legal reasoning, and how much is matter assembly. Drafting from the record, keeping the chronology current and recalculating dependent dates when a hearing moves are the tasks that generate the most runs, and they are also the tasks that do not need a per run legal AI rate. Firms that move that work into a fixed price case management platform first usually shrink the consumption line they are quoted on, because the expensive tool is reserved for judgment rather than assembly.
Answered directly
Questions buyers ask about Legora pricing
How much does Legora cost?
Legora does not publish a price. legora.com/pricing returns a 404 and the Wayback Machine has no capture of any Legora pricing page, so the page was never removed, it never existed. The 3,000 US dollars per seat per year figure that appears in most articles is labeled by the sites publishing it as a market estimate with no named source. The only pricing statement from Legora itself is its 23 June 2026 announcement that Agent Pro is billed on consumption.
Does Legora publish pricing?
No. There is no pricing page on legora.com, checked on 10 September 2026, and no archived copy of one has ever existed. Every call to action on the site is Book a demo. What Legora has published is a pricing model: on 23 June 2026 it announced consumption based pricing for its Agent Pro product, with no unit and no rate stated.
What is Legora consumption based pricing?
A model announced by Legora on 23 June 2026 in which customers pay for the work its Agent Pro product delivers rather than a flat fee per user. Legora says every run can be attributed to a matter, admins can set thresholds and spending controls, and notifications are sent before a limit is reached. It applies to Agent Pro only. The standard Legora Agent remains available to all customers at no additional cost and with no change to existing contract terms.
Does Legora have a 10 seat minimum?
No published source says so. The 10 seat minimum appears on several pricing articles with no citation, and the site most often cited for it labels its own figures market estimates. Legora runs a dedicated page for small and mid sized firms that says start lean, grow at your pace, and describes boutique firms as customers, which is hard to square with a hard seat floor. Ask Legora for the minimum in writing.
Is Legora cheaper than Harvey?
Nobody outside both contracts can say, because neither vendor publishes a rate. Harvey has no pricing page and Legora has no pricing page. The one traceable Harvey estimate, approximately 1,200 dollars per seat per year from Artificial Lawyer in June 2025, is disputed by Harvey. The Legora estimate of 3,000 dollars per seat per year has no traceable author at all. Treat any article that prints both numbers side by side as guesswork. The full comparison is in Legora vs Harvey.
What does Legora cost per user per month?
There is no published per user monthly rate. If you divide the circulating 3,000 dollar annual estimate by twelve you get 250 dollars a month, but that estimate cites no source. For comparison, legal AI rates that are actually printed on a vendor page on 10 September 2026 are Paxton AI at 499 dollars per user per month or 2,999 per year, and Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Essentials at 360 dollars list or 292.50 on a three year plan.
Does Legora offer a free trial?
Legora advertises no self serve free trial. Every route on legora.com leads to a demo booking. Its small and mid sized firm page promises deployment in days rather than quarters, but that is an onboarding claim, not a trial. Paxton AI and Spellbook both advertise a 7 day free trial, so if you need to pilot before procurement those are the vendors that allow it without a sales cycle.
Which law firms use Legora?
Legora names Bird and Bird, Cleary Gottlieb, White and Case, Linklaters, Deloitte, Dentons and Goodwin as customers in its 10 March 2026 Series D release, and says the platform is used at more than 800 law firms and in house teams across over 50 markets. By 30 April 2026 it told TechCrunch the count had passed 1,000 and that annual recurring revenue had crossed 100 million US dollars.
How much does Legora cost for a 50 lawyer firm?
No honest single number exists. Using the unsourced 3,000 dollar per seat estimate, 50 seats is 150,000 dollars a year before any Agent Pro consumption charges. Legora's own figures put its average customer at roughly 100,000 dollars a year or less, since it reported more than 100 million dollars of annual recurring revenue across more than 1,000 customers. Get a written quote that separates the seat fee from the usage fee.
What should I ask for in a Legora quote?
Seven things in writing: the per seat rate with the billing period spelled out, the seat minimum if any, which products are seat based and which are consumption based, the consumption unit and rate for Agent Pro, the included allowance and the overage price, how thresholds and spending caps behave when reached, and the renewal uplift cap on the contract term.
The runs you would pay for by the unit are mostly matter assembly.
Whatever the Legora quote says, somebody at your firm still drafts from the record, rebuilds the chronology when new documents land, and recalculates every dependent date when a hearing moves. Caseagent does that work inside the matter, with the citation trail attached and no meter running, so the metered seat is spent on judgment rather than volume.
