Relativity Eliminates Per-Seat User Fees
Relativity announced a new pricing model eliminating per-seat/user fees, reported July 23, 2026. The shift follows the broader legal tech pricing transition — driven by AI — from per-seat software licenses toward usage-based or outcome-based models. eDiscovery platforms built around billable per-GB or per-user structures face the same structural pressure as law firms: as AI reduces the labor hours

Relativity announced a new pricing model eliminating per-seat/user fees, reported July 23, 2026. The shift follows the broader legal tech pricing transition — driven by AI — from per-seat software licenses toward usage-based or outcome-based models. eDiscovery platforms built around billable per-GB or per-user structures face the same structural pressure as law firms: as AI reduces the labor hours required to process document sets, the human effort that justified per-seat fees diminishes. Relativity's move is a leading indicator of how the productized legal services market will reprice across the full stack — from document review platforms to contract management to legal research tools.
