The 85% Price Challenge

1. The claim we are standing behind

CounselAudit publishes its prices. Legacy legal invoice review and legal spend management platforms generally do not. They quote each buyer separately, and the quote usually carries implementation, configuration, and training fees on top of the licence.

Our claim is that for a typical in-house legal team, CounselAudit costs at least 85% less than one of those platforms over the first year. This page sets out exactly how we test that claim, and what you get if it fails.

2. What you get if we are wrong

3. What counts as proof

To submit a claim you need a written quote, order form, or renewal invoice issued by the vendor that meets all of the following:

• It is addressed to your organization, and you are authorised to act on it.
• It is dated within the 12 months before you submit your claim.
• It shows the annual or total contract value, the term, and the number of users or seats covered.
• It was issued by one of the vendors named below. This offer is limited to that list.

Qualifying vendors: Brightflag, Onit, Mitratech, TyMetrix 360, Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, LexisNexis CounselLink, SimpleLegal, and Wolters Kluwer Legal Analytics (Legal-X). A quote from any other vendor does not qualify, however similar the product.

Screenshots, verbal quotes, list prices found on the internet, analyst estimates, and third-party benchmark reports do not qualify. We need a document the vendor gave you.

4. Before you send us anything, check your confidentiality obligations

5. How we compare the two numbers

We compare first-year total cost against first-year total cost, at the seat count on your quote.

Your quoted cost is the sum of everything payable to that vendor in the first 12 months: licence or subscription fees, implementation, configuration, data migration, integration, training, and mandatory support or success fees. If the quote covers a multi-year term, we take the first-year portion. We use the quoted figure before any discount that is conditional on a longer term you have not signed.

Our cost is CounselAudit's published annual list price for the same number of seats on the Professional plan, billed annually. We compare at your full quoted seat count, not at the 3-seat cap that applies to the award. We add nothing for implementation, configuration, or training, because we do not charge for them.

Professional seats are priced in bands, and each band applies only to the seats that fall inside it:

Your claim succeeds, and you get the free year, if our cost comes to more than 15% of your quoted cost.

We use your submission only to assess the claim. We do not publish it, share it with the vendor who issued it, or use it in marketing without your separate written permission. It is handled under our privacy policy.

We may change or withdraw the offer at any time by updating this page. Any claim already submitted is assessed under the terms in force on the day we received it. The version of this page in effect on that date governs.

9. Verification and disputes

We may request reasonable further information to verify a claim, including confirming your role at the organization. We may reject a claim that is incomplete, fraudulent, altered, or submitted in breach of these terms. Where a claim is rejected we will tell you why.
