Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
DISCO
Per-GB Hosting — Custom (billed per gigabyte) Usage-based / Monthly
User-friendly, modern interface compared to legacy ediscovery tools
Predictable flat per-GB pricing instead of fragmented fees
AI-native review tools (Cecilia) built directly into the workflow
Highly rated, responsive customer support
Cons
No published flat starting price; costs scale with data volume and require a custom quote
Some firms find it operationally difficult to pass usage-based costs through to clients
Purpose-built for legal workflows only, not a general-purpose document platform
Project management services are billed separately at an hourly rate
ContractWorks
Pros
Flat-rate pricing removes per-seat cost scaling for large teams
AI auto-tagging speeds up organizing an existing contract backlog
Built-in e-signatures avoid needing a separate tool
No extra fees for implementation, training, or migration
Cons
Entry price of around $600/month is a meaningful commitment for very small teams
Detailed pricing above the entry tier is not fully public
Less configurable than dedicated enterprise CLM platforms for complex workflows
No dedicated native mobile apps; access is web-only
