Everlaw Pricing 2026

Everlaw costs $2,000-5,000/month base plus $18-35/GB for hosted data, and it's the best value in e-discovery for mid-market firms. User licenses are included in most plans, which makes Everlaw significantly cheaper than Relativity when you factor in total cost.

Everlaw positioned itself as the modern alternative to Relativity — cleaner UX, more predictable pricing, strong AI, FedRAMP authorized. For firms processing 100GB to 2TB annually, Everlaw delivers 90% of Relativity's capability at 60-70% of the cost.

Everlaw Pricing Breakdown

Everlaw doesn't publish pricing publicly, but here's what firms consistently report:

Platform subscription: - Base platform fee: $2,000-5,000/month depending on firm size and commitment - This covers platform access, standard features, and a set number of user seats

Data hosting: - Per-GB monthly storage: $18-35/GB/month - Volume discounts kick in above 500GB - Large commitments (2TB+) can negotiate below $18/GB

Processing: - Often included in the platform subscription or per-GB pricing - Some contracts charge separately: $20-40/GB for ingestion - This is a major advantage over Relativity, which almost always charges separately

User licenses: - Typically included in the platform subscription - Standard plans include unlimited reviewers - Admin and analytics users may have separate caps - This alone saves $75-200/user/month compared to Relativity

Estimated total for a 500GB matter with 20 reviewers over 6 months: - Platform: $12,000-30,000 - Hosting: $54,000-105,000 - Processing: Included or $10,000-20,000 - Users: Included - Total: $66,000-155,000 (compare to Relativity's $66,500-145,500 — similar range but Everlaw includes more)

The real savings show up on matters with large review teams, where Everlaw's included user licenses eliminate per-reviewer costs.

What's Included vs What Costs Extra

Included in standard Everlaw plans: - Platform access and core e-discovery features - Document review with coding panels - Search (keyword, concept, boolean) - Prediction coding and AI-assisted review - Storybuilder (visual document connections) - Productions (standard formats) - Unlimited reviewer seats (on most plans) - Standard support - Regular platform updates and new features - SOC 2 Type II compliance

Included at higher tiers or with negotiation: - Advanced analytics and clustering - FedRAMP authorized environment (for government work) - Custom review workflows - API access - Priority support

Costs extra: - Premium processing for complex file types (databases, forensic images) - Large-scale productions with custom formatting may incur additional fees - Professional services for workspace setup and workflow design: $200-350/hour - Training beyond standard onboarding (though Everlaw's standard training is good) - Data migration from other platforms: varies by complexity

What Everlaw does NOT charge for (that Relativity often does): - User licenses for reviewers - Standard analytics features - Basic processing - Platform updates and new feature releases

Everlaw vs DISCO: Pricing Comparison

DISCO is Everlaw's closest competitor on pricing. Here's how they actually compare:

DISCO pricing: - Per-GB hosting: $15-25/GB/month (slightly cheaper) - Processing: $20-50/GB (separate charge) - User licenses: Varies by plan (not always included) - Base platform fee: Lower than Everlaw

DISCO total for 500GB matter, 20 reviewers, 6 months: - $48,000-90,000 — typically 20-30% cheaper than Everlaw

But DISCO's limitations at scale: - Less sophisticated analytics and AI - Fewer workflow customization options - Weaker collaboration features for large teams - Less robust production tools

The decision framework: - Under 100GB: DISCO wins on price and simplicity - 100GB-1TB: Everlaw's included features and better analytics justify the premium - Over 1TB: Evaluate both against Relativity — Everlaw and DISCO both struggle at extreme scale

For firms that handle a mix of matter sizes: Everlaw is the safer bet. It handles small matters without excessive overhead and scales to medium-large matters competently. DISCO is the better choice for firms that consistently handle smaller, simpler matters.

Everlaw vs Relativity: When Each Makes Sense

Choose Everlaw when: - Your matters typically run 100GB-1TB - You have large review teams and want included user licenses - You value modern UX and faster reviewer onboarding - You're a government agency or contractor needing FedRAMP - You don't want to hire or retain a dedicated e-discovery admin - Your firm processes under 5TB annually

Choose Relativity when: - Your matters routinely exceed 1TB - You need the App Hub ecosystem (100+ applications) - You require custom workflows that Everlaw can't support - Your firm already has Relativity-certified administrators - You process 5TB+ annually (on-premise becomes cost-effective) - You need the deepest TAR defensibility track record

The trend: Mid-market firms are moving from Relativity to Everlaw. Large firms are adding Everlaw for smaller matters while keeping Relativity for mega-litigation. New firms entering e-discovery are choosing Everlaw first.

Cost savings switching from Relativity to Everlaw: Firms that have switched report 20-40% total cost savings, with the biggest reductions coming from eliminated user licensing fees and reduced admin overhead. The migration cost and learning curve typically pay back within 6-12 months.

How to Get the Best Everlaw Deal

Annual commitments: Everlaw offers meaningful discounts (15-20%) for annual data volume commitments. If you can predict your annual e-discovery volume, commit to it for better per-GB rates.

Multi-year terms: 2-3 year agreements unlock additional savings. Everlaw is confident in retention, so they discount for commitment.

Bundled processing: Negotiate processing inclusion in your per-GB rate. Many contracts bundle processing at no additional cost for standard file types.

Government pricing: If you're a government agency, Everlaw has dedicated government pricing that's typically more favorable. FedRAMP compliance is included, not an add-on.

Competitive bids: Get quotes from DISCO and Relativity before finalizing with Everlaw. Everlaw's sales team is responsive to competitive pressure, particularly from DISCO on smaller deals.

Pilot programs: Everlaw offers trial/pilot environments for prospective customers. Run a real matter (or a subset) before committing. This is the best way to evaluate — feature lists don't capture the UX difference.

Timing: Everlaw's fiscal year timing varies, but end-of-quarter deals are common in the SaaS world. If your timeline is flexible, negotiate in the last 2-3 weeks of a quarter.

The Bottom Line: Everlaw at $2K-5K/month plus $18-35/GB is the best e-discovery value for mid-market firms — 20-40% cheaper than Relativity with included user licenses and a modern interface.
