Bindinglaw

Pricing

Metered by request. Provenance included at every tier.

Full provenance — source, hash, validity dates — is the product, not an enterprise add-on. Every tier gets it on every response, and every tier includes the MCP server. The coverage endpoint is free and unmetered for everyone.

Attorneys and law firms reviewing their own records never pay — that's not a tier, it's a principle. Legal aid, access-to-justice, and academic research access is free with verified affiliation.

Point-in-time coverage varies by jurisdiction — the coverage page is always the authoritative answer.

Programs

Three cases where the price is not the price

Launch

Scale features at $99/mo for twelve months

Startups under $1M raised and under $1M revenue

Application required, one year, non-renewable. Everything in Scale — point-in-time, webhooks, SLA, ingestion vote — at the Build price while you are finding product-market fit.

Public interest

Free, with verified affiliation

Legal aid, access-to-justice, and academic research

Not a discount and not a trial. The same corpus, the same provenance, no volume ceiling to negotiate. Research citations are their own return.

Anyone reviewing their own records

Held over from the lawfirm.dev principles. Looking at what we hold about you, and correcting it, is free forever and is not something we will ever put behind a plan.

How this compares

Point-in-time and provenance are someone else's enterprise upsell

The reference price for a production statute and regulation API is $2,500/month, current-law only, with provenance held back for a $5,000 tier. Both of those sit in our $99 plan. No product of any kind currently offers state-level point-in-time over an API.

Competitor terms as published on 2026-07-25; vendors change pricing without notice. Our own point-in-time depth is real for Florida and current-law elsewhere — every other jurisdiction answers a historical date with an explicit miss rather than a guess. The coverage page is the authoritative account of what is actually queryable.

Common questions

What counts as a request?

One API call or one MCP tool invocation. Explicit misses — no_edition_on_file, out-of-coverage — are billed at one-tenth of a request. You shouldn't pay full price to learn we don't have something.

Is provenance really on every tier?

Yes. Source URL, retrieval time, content hash, and validity dates on every response, including the free tier. Trust isn't an upsell — it's the product.

What happens when I hit my limit?

On Explorer, requests stop — free users can never owe money. On paid tiers, overage is metered at your tier's per-1K rate against a spend cap you set. We never silently degrade results.

Can you prioritize my jurisdiction?

Scale customers vote on ingestion order and their demand drives the queue. Enterprise agreements can pin specific jurisdictions to contractual delivery dates.

Can we train models on the data?

Training and redistribution rights are a separately licensed grant, available with Enterprise agreements. API and bulk access alone don't include them — talk to us.

Do you have startup or public-interest pricing?

Startups under $1M raised and revenue get Scale features at $99/mo for their first year. Legal aid, access-to-justice, and academic research access is free with verified affiliation.
