Gavel Exec Pricing and Cost Per User for Small Legal Teams

Gavel Exec prints its price: $160 per user a month, or $1,740 a year, with 25 free queries to start. Below is what that adds up to for one to five lawyers and for your contract volume, and when a $99 review tool covers the reading job for less.

The short answer

For anyone who needs the number before the trial.

Gavel Exec costs $160 per user a month or $1,740 per user a year, and includes 1,000 completions a month on paid plans, redlining in Word, playbooks and market benchmarking. A three lawyer team pays $5,220 a year on annual billing. You get 25 free queries per user with no credit card before paying, and Gavel offers team pricing at 10 or more seats, which is a quote. It is among the lowest published prices for AI contract review.

Paying yearly costs $1,740 against $1,920 for twelve months at $160. Gavel states SOC 2 Type II certification, Zero Data Retention agreements with its AI providers, and that customer data does not train AI models.

What Gavel Exec costs a year for 1 to 5 lawyers

This multiplies the printed per user price by the number of users. The numbers are small next to a legal AI platform, so the real question is whether your team negotiates in Word often enough to use every seat.

The cost per contract is what to compare

Gavel Exec is built for the lawyer who negotiates agreements: it marks up the draft in Word with tracked changes against your playbook and explains each change. If that is your week, $1,740 a year is easy to defend. If you mostly open documents to find out what is risky in someone else's paper, the useful unit is the cost of each document.

One user reviewing 10 agreements a month pays about $14.50 each on the annual plan. At 50 a month it is $2.90, and at 100 a month $1.45. The table treats one agreement as one completion; a long agreement that you query several times will cost more per document, so use it as a floor.

A dedicated review tool prices that single step differently. LegalSoul Solo is $99 for 100 reviews, which is $0.99 a review when you use them all (the same math for a litigation assistant is on our Paxton AI pricing page). It does not redline in Word, so the honest choice depends on whether you negotiate or mostly read.

Agreements a month Gavel Exec, yearly Gavel Exec, monthly
10 $14.50 $16.00
20 $7.25 $8.00
50 $2.90 $3.20
100 $1.45 $1.60

Seat price divided by agreements reviewed, one completion each. One user, before tax.

When Gavel Exec is worth the money, and when it is not

Buy Gavel Exec when

  • You negotiate NDAs, MSAs, DPAs and vendor agreements in Word and want tracked-change redlines against your own playbook.
  • A client or counterparty asks for SOC 2 Type II, which Gavel states it holds.
  • You want a published price and a free start before any sales call.

Look elsewhere when

  • The job is reading incoming leases, contracts and briefs to find the risk, not producing a markup.
  • You work outside Word, on PDFs and scans, where a Word add-in adds a conversion step.
  • You review a few documents a month, so a per seat fee of $160 buys little use.

Where LegalSoul fits, and where it does not

LegalSoul does not redline in Word, draft clauses or hold a SOC 2 report today, and it has no SAML SSO. It reads a contract, lease or brief you upload and returns the issues, risky clauses and missing terms with page cites in under a minute, for $99 a month and 100 reviews, with no seat minimum and no annual term. Some teams keep a Word redlining tool for negotiation and add a review tool for the volume of third-party paper.

Five questions to settle before you pay for Gavel Exec

A published price covers one user. These cover the rest.

  1. 1 What counts as one completion, and how many does a 40 page agreement use?
  2. 2 What happens when a user passes 1,000 completions in a month?
  3. 3 What is the team price at our headcount, and is it fixed through the first renewal?
  4. 4 Can we load our own playbooks and signed agreements during the 25 free queries?
  5. 5 How many agreements a month would we actually negotiate in Word, and what is the cost of each?

Gavel Exec pricing questions buyers ask

How much does Gavel Exec cost?

Gavel Exec costs $160 per user a month, or $1,740 per user a year if you pay annually, which works out to $145 a month. Twelve months at the monthly rate is $1,920, so the annual option saves $180. Gavel also prints 25 free queries per user before you pay, and team pricing for 10 or more seats.

Does Gavel Exec have a free trial?

Yes. Gavel Exec starts with 25 free queries per user and no credit card. After that the paid plan is $160 per user a month and includes 1,000 completions a month. Use the free queries on a real agreement you already negotiated so you can judge the redlines against your own.

Is Gavel Exec priced per user?

Yes. Gavel Exec is priced per user, so three lawyers cost $5,220 a year on annual billing or $5,760 on monthly billing. Gavel lists team pricing for 10 or more seats, which is a quote. Its page states 1,000 completions a month on paid plans.

What does Gavel Exec include?

Per its pricing page, the paid plan includes redlining full agreements in Word, drafting and rewriting clauses, 1,000 completions a month, automatic playbooks, market benchmarking and priority-ranked redlines. Gavel also states SOC 2 Type II certification and that customer data is not used to train AI models.

Is Gavel Exec worth it for a small legal team?

It is worth it if your team negotiates agreements in Word every week and wants tracked-change redlines against your own playbook. If the job is reading incoming contracts and leases for risk, with page cites and no Word workflow, LegalSoul does that for $99 a month and 100 reviews with no seat minimum.

What is a cheaper alternative to Gavel Exec?

Gavel Exec is already one of the lower published prices for AI contract review. For a single lawyer who only needs a risk read of third-party documents, LegalSoul is $99 a month for 100 reviews. It does not redline inside Word, so teams that negotiate in tracked changes should keep Gavel Exec.
