Pay for what you use. Nothing more.
₹150 to ₹700
per research session, depending on depth
A Clauseo research session costs a few hundred rupees and takes 20 minutes. Compare that to the hours of associate time it replaces, billed at your firm's rates.
The pricing model
If you have used other AI tools, they probably charge a flat monthly fee. Clauseo is different, and for a good reason.
You bill clients by the hour because different matters require different amounts of work. A simple opinion takes two hours. A complex regulatory filing takes forty. A flat fee for "unlimited legal work" would force you to cut corners on complex matters. The same principle applies to AI research. Simple questions cost less. Complex, thorough research costs more. You pay for the work actually done.
Other legal AI tools charge flat monthly fees because their AI does light work: summarize a document, draft a response, answer a quick question. The cost per query is tiny. Clauseo is different. It runs deep research sessions lasting 15 to 25 minutes, searching multiple databases, reading actual judgments, and tracing citation networks. A subscription would force us to use cheaper AI models, limit research depth, or cap your sessions. We chose quality.
A research session costs a few hundred rupees and takes 20 minutes. Compare that to the hours of associate time it replaces, billed at your firm’s rates. Run one session. Compare the output to what you would get from a junior associate in the same timeframe. The numbers speak for themselves.
Cost breakdown
Every research session involves three types of cost. After each session, you see exactly how much was spent on each, down to the individual line item.
70–80% of session cost
Clauseo uses the most powerful AI model available to read case law, reason through legal questions, and write your research memo. This is the bulk of the cost, and the component that determines the quality of your output. More complex questions require more reasoning, which costs more.
15–25% of session cost
Every time the AI searches for cases or retrieves a judgment from a legal database, there is a small per-use cost. A session that searches broadly and reads many documents will cost slightly more here than a narrowly focused one.
0–5% of session cost
When a question requires checking sources beyond case databases — regulatory websites, government notifications, recent developments — there is a small cost for each web lookup.
During a research session, the AI frequently needs to reference the same material multiple times — reading a judgment's holding, then returning to check a specific paragraph, then citing it in the final memo. The first time information enters the AI's working memory, you pay the full rate. Every subsequent reference to the same material costs 90% less. This is automatic and applies across the main agent and every sub-agent it delegates to. Across our sample research sessions, caching reduces AI analysis costs by approximately 58%.
Full transparency after every session. You see the duration, AI analysis cost, cached vs uncached breakdown, every individual database lookup, sub-agent costs, and the total amount deducted from your balance. Nothing is hidden.
Try it. If the research memo is not good enough to use, nothing we say on this page matters.
