In practice

You can't risk a brief citing a case that doesn't say what you claimed. Paxton grounds its research in real citations and verifies them, so the support holds up under scrutiny.

Drafting a brief from a blank page eats the hours you don't have. Paxton handles brief writing alongside research, turning your argument into a draft with citations attached.

Enterprise legal AI prices out a solo or small firm. Paxton publishes transparent pricing with a free trial, built for solo and mid-market practices rather than seat minimums.

Pricing

$499/user/mo

seats

Trial available

Included quota

Individual seat: AI legal research across all 50 states + federal case law/regs, quick-start drafting, document/contract analysis, AI Citator, and custom document uploads.

What is public

Paxton publishes per-seat pricing: Individual at $499/user/mo, or $2,999/user/year (~50% off, ~$250/mo effective). Enterprise is custom, volume-based and aligned to firm case volume, adding SSO, advanced user management, collaboration, and dedicated support. A 7-day free trial (card required) is offered. Older listings showed a ~$199 'Professional' tier before a 2026 increase.

Billing mechanics

Flat per-seat subscription bundling AI research, drafting, and document analysis at one rate — no separate research/database fee (unlike Lexis/Westlaw). Annual billing roughly halves the effective monthly cost. Enterprise pricing scales with case volume rather than pure seat count.

Cost watchouts

Annual prepay to get the ~50% rate, card-required trial with an auth hold, non-refundable purchases, Enterprise priced by case volume (not flat seats)

Variable cost rationale

Flat per-seat, all-in rate with no disclosed usage metering, so spend is predictable; Enterprise varies by case volume

Additional watchouts

Price rose materially in 2026 (~$199 → $499 monthly); purchases are non-refundable; no practice-management integrations

Overage / add-ons

No usage metering disclosed — the Individual seat is a flat all-in rate; Enterprise scales by case volume.

Sales call required

Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Lowest paid plan

~$199-500/user/mo (Individual); Enterprise custom

Commercial notes

~50% annual discount ($2,999/yr); reported $29/user/mo law-student rate; no LPMS integrations; SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA; does not train on customer data

Key ambiguities

Whether the Individual seat has any query/usage cap isn't clearly stated; Enterprise case-volume economics aren't published; tier naming shifted (Professional $199 → Individual $499)

Cancellation / refund

Month-to-month or annual (~50% off); cancel anytime with access through the paid term; all purchases non-refundable per ToS

Support SLA / resale

Individual gets standard support; Enterprise adds SSO, advanced user management, collaboration, and dedicated support

Missing data

Any per-seat query/usage cap, the Enterprise case-volume pricing basis, and confirmed academic-rate terms aren't fully published
