Questions firms ask about software cost
How much should law-firm software cost?
Most small and mid-size firms don’t pay one bill, they pay several: a per-seat case system, a marketing agency or SEO retainer, billing and payments, intake/CRM, phone, e-sign, and a pile of point AI tools. Per-seat pricing means every new hire raises the total. When you only pay per attorney — staff seats free — the all-in price is usually less than the stack once you’re past one or two people, and it stops the per-seat creep.
Per-user vs. per-attorney, which is cheaper for a law firm?
Per-seat looks cheap at one user and gets expensive as you grow, because several tools each charge per head. You pay per attorney — staff seats are free — so the price doesn’t move when you add staff or matters. The calculator multiplies your per-seat tools by your seat count so you can see exactly where the lines cross for your firm.
Does this calculator store my numbers?
The math runs entirely in your browser and computes to no one — the page makes no network call with your inputs. The one exception is if you choose to email yourself the breakdown: that relays your contact details (and the summary you saw) to LexSteward so we can send it and may follow up. That’s a business opt-in, never stored claimant data. The amounts stay editable so you can match your real bills.
What does the per-attorney price actually replace?
The marketing site that brings clients in, the case-management system that runs every matter, intake and CRM, time and billing, a client portal, phone/work-line, and private AI, in one login. It consolidates the categories you’d otherwise buy and stitch together separately.
