GC AI Pricing 2026: What It Costs Per Seat

GC AI publishes its Individual plan at $500 per seat per month, or $5,000 a year on annual billing (gc.ai/pricing, checked September 2026). The Team and Enterprise tiers are quoted per customer.

The one-line verdict: for a solo GC, the published $500 seat is the simplest place to start. For a 5-to-10-person team, the Team tier is quoted per customer, so get the number in writing.

TL;DR

• The Individual plan is published at $500 per seat per month, or $5,000 per year (gc.ai/pricing, Sep 2026). Annual billing saves about $1,000 a year, roughly 17 percent.
• The Individual plan has no seat minimum and a 14-day free trial, no credit card (gc.ai/pricing, Sep 2026).
• The Team tier is quote-based. Pricing is quoted per customer after a demo.
• Enterprise is custom pricing. You email sales@gc.ai for custom integrations, managed onboarding, and dedicated support (gc.ai/pricing, Sep 2026).
• Costs beyond the seat price sit in the Team and Enterprise tiers: annual-only billing, onboarding, and renewal terms set in the order form.

What GC AI actually charges

GC AI sells three tiers. One has a published price. Two do not.

The Individual plan is the only number you can read off a page. It runs $500 per seat per month, or $5,000 a year on annual billing, which saves about $1,000 (gc.ai/pricing, checked September 2026). That single seat is the whole public rate card.

The Team and Enterprise tiers are quote-based. You book a demo, talk to a Solutions Attorney, and learn the number at the end. Neither price appears on the site.

Here is the rate card as it stands, with a confidence tag on each row.

A note on sources. The Individual row comes from the vendor's page. The Team and Enterprise rows are quote-based, so no public number applies.

How the $500 seat compares

Legal AI vendors present pricing differently. GC AI posts its entry seat. Other tools in-house teams usually shortlist are priced by contract or quote.

GC AI's Individual plan has no seat minimum and its price is on the page.

What is included per tier

The price gap between tiers is mostly about admin, security, and support, not the core AI.

Individual ($500 per seat per month). The full AI workbench for one lawyer: unlimited chats, unlimited skills, the Microsoft Word add-in, usage analytics, Easy Prompt, AI Academy courses, multi-factor authentication, and Slack community access (gc.ai/pricing and docs.gc.ai, checked September 2026). For one lawyer, the feature set is close to complete.

Team (quote-based). Adds enterprise SSO, a shared skill library, shared chats, a product walkthrough, and Solutions Attorney support, billed annually (gc.ai/pricing, Sep 2026). The draw is shared playbooks and SSO, which matter once more than two lawyers use it.

Enterprise (custom). Adds custom integrations, managed onboarding, change-management help, ROI forecasting, and dedicated support (gc.ai/pricing, Sep 2026). This is the tier for a larger department with a procurement process.

The core AI barely changes across tiers. What you buy at the top end is SSO, shared libraries, and a human to help you roll it out.

Costs beyond the seat price

Beyond the seat price, a full bill can include a few more lines. Here are the ones to check.

Annual billing on the higher tiers. The Team tier is billed yearly, per the pricing page. So a "monthly" mental model understates the commitment. You are signing a year, not a month, once you leave Individual.

Onboarding and change management. Enterprise lists "managed onboarding" and "change management" as features. Those are services, and services carry a cost or a longer contract. GC AI publishes no number, so ask for it before you sign.

The Team-tier number. GC AI does not publish Team pricing, so get a written quote for your head count before you budget.

Renewal terms. A quote-based tier renews on the terms in the order form. Get a written renewal cap before year two.

How to budget and negotiate as a in-house team

If you run a one-to-ten-person legal team, here is how to think about the GC AI bill before you talk to sales.

Start from the seat you can see. The $5,000 Individual seat is the only price you can budget against with certainty. For one or two lawyers, run the free trial first. You do not need a quote to start.

Do the simple math. Five lawyers on published Individual seats is $25,000 a year. Ten is $50,000. Team pricing is quoted, so ask for the number for your head count before you model anything.

Ask for the Team number in writing first. Get the all-in per-seat price for your exact head count, the billing term, and the renewal cap before the demo. A vendor that answers up front is easier to trust than one that saves the number for last.

Buy the tier whose extras you will use. SSO and a shared skill library are real value for a team of five. They may not justify moving to a quoted tier if only one or two lawyers touch the shared parts.

Convert everything to cost per active lawyer per year. Multiply the seat price by the seats you must buy, then divide by the lawyers who will log in. That one number beats any tier name.

Questions to ask GC AI sales before the demo

A quote-based tier rewards the buyer who asks first. Walk in with these in writing, not in the chat after a slide deck.

• Renewal-uplift cap. What is the maximum annual increase, and will you write a 5 to 7 percent cap into the order form?
• Overage policy. Does anything meter? If a heavy contract month runs hot, what costs extra, and at what rate?
• Seat true-up rules. If we add a lawyer mid-term, do we pay a prorated seat or true up at renewal? Can we drop a seat?
• Data retention and DPA. Where does our document data live, how long is it kept, and can we sign your DPA before any pilot?
• SSO cost. Is enterprise SSO included in the Team price, or is it a separate line?
• Solutions Attorney time. Is that support included, or capped at a number of hours per month before it bills?

A procurement-risk note for in-house teams

The seat price is not the only cost a legal team carries. Three more sit in your own calendar.

Security review takes weeks, so start it early. GC AI handles your contract data, so most companies route it through a security review and a DPA first. Run that during the trial, not after, or the 14-day window closes before procurement clears.

AI-vendor policy review is now standard. Many in-house teams keep an AI-use policy that any new vendor must clear. Budget the internal time to map GC AI against it, including how prompts and outputs are stored.

Shared playbooks carry a training cost. The Team tier's shared library only pays off once lawyers build and maintain it. That setup is real internal hours, not an invoice line, and easy to forget at budget time.

Who GC AI fits, and who should look elsewhere

Price is half the call. Fit is the other half.

A solo GC who lives in Microsoft Word should just buy the Individual seat. If your week is NDAs, DPAs, and vendor MSAs, the Word add-in earns the $500, and you never need a quote. The price is on the page. For the deep product call, see our GC AI review.

A 5-to-10-person team should get the Team quote in writing. Get the number, the renewal cap, and the SSO line in writing before you commit. An in-house team that also wants research and matter management should check the add-on pricing.

Weigh it carefully if your work turns on deep case-law research. GC AI is built around the contract week. It ships research over 13M-plus US opinions, but that sits behind a paid add-on on the Individual plan, so price the add-on in if primary research depth carries your week. On integration there is no longer a gap to plan around: the GC AI API became publicly available on July 29, 2026 with multi-turn support (gc.ai).

What the $500 seat is actually competing with

Not another seat, most of the time. For most in-house teams the real alternative is outside counsel at $400 to $900 an hour, and one avoided hour a month covers the seat twice over. That is the comparison worth running, and it is why the Individual plan clears its own price for a solo or fractional GC carrying a whole legal function.

Price the tier against your actual week rather than against the cheapest seat on the market.

FAQ
