GC AI’s in-house counsel guide says purpose-built legal AI can cost up to $500 per seat per month and positions that price against outside counsel time. The vendor says customers reported a 14 percent median outside counsel spend reduction in a December 2025 ROI study, tied to shifting routine work such as first-pass contract review, jurisdictional research and memo drafting in-house. For law firms, the precise vendor claims should be treated cautiously, but the commercial question is unavoidable: clients will compare subscription cost, hours saved and outside counsel reduction in the same buying conversation.
