Capabilities
Simple pricing. Exceptional value.
Transparent, Flat Pricing

Free Tier to Start
Try Carta AI before you pay anything. The free tier includes real research and drafting capabilities — not just a demo.
All Tools Included
Every plan includes the full Practice Hub: contract analysis, brief builder, citation checker, deadline calculator, and more. No add-ons.
No Setup Fees
Competitors like Kira and Harvey charge $5,000–$15,000+ in implementation fees. Carta AI is zero setup cost, zero onboarding time.

No annual contract required. No cancellation fees. No lock-in. Carta AI earns your subscription every month.
300–500% ROI
Time savings alone typically pay for the subscription in week one. Most firms see full ROI within 2–3 months.
