Who this is for: All users, prospective users, anyone considering expanding their subscription/their organisation's subscription

Before you sign up for Law Cyborg or add team members, it's helpful to understand how our subscription model works. This article explains the difference between our two plan tiers (Essential and Elite), what practice areas are, and how they work together to create a customised legal research solution for your workflow.

By the end of this article, you'll be able to confidently choose the right configuration for yourself or your team.

Law Cyborg offers two base plan tiers. Every user needs one of these plans as their foundation:

What's included:

• ✅ Access to AI-powered legal research across your chosen practice areas

• ✅ Unlimited questions and answers per month

• ✅ Chat history (save and revisit past research)

• ✅ Download conversations as PDFs or Word Documents

• ✅ Law Cyborg's non-technical 'General AI', designed for general questions that do not require specialist legal knowledge (e.g. tech support, excel formulas)

• ✅ Document uploader

• ✅ On-call support

Development of Elite Plan features are still in-progress. Ignore this plan for the time being.

• Essential Plan: $30/month per user

• Elite Plan: $100/month per user

• Individual practice areas: $9/month per area, per user

• All Practice Areas Bundle: $99/month per user (all 30 areas)

Note: In Australia, only the Tax practice area is currently available. To be notified when a specific practice area is available, register your interest here

Practice areas are specialised AI research assistants, each using its own database containing relevant sources for a specific area of New Zealand or Australian law. Each practice area has:

• Curated database - Legislation, cases, and documents specific to that area of law, to ensure answers draw from relevant sources only. These sources are regularly updated

• Specialised AI - Built to understand questions, efficiently find the most relevant sources, and deliver high quality answers in that area of law

📍Important: Availability by Jursidction

Australia: Tax Law only (additional practice areas launching progressively. To be notified when a specific practice area is available, register your interest here)

New Zealand: All 30 practice areas currently available

Think of it this way:

This flexibility means you only pay for what each person actually uses.

A: Law Cyborg will let you know the question is outside your assigned practice areas, and will attempt to answer the question regardless, using the sources available to that practice area. The suitability of the practice area your using for the question can be roughly assessed by checking the estimated certainty score associated with the answer.
