Gavel Workflows plans and prices (page read November 1, 2026)
The page is headed "Free to Start, Plans from $83" and shows prices in US dollars with a monthly and an annual toggle. The page does not state what each plan costs on annual billing, only that annual plans billed upfront get 2 months free.
| Plan | Price shown | Seats | Templates and volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | $83 per month | 1 builder seat | 10 templates, 10 workflows, 100 sessions a month, 1,000 emails, Word and PDF automation, Clio Manage integration |
| Standard | $210 per month on the plan card, $165 per month in the comparison table | 1 builder seat on the card | 50 templates, 25 workflows, 300 sessions a month, 2,500 emails, saved data, your logo, Zapier integration |
| Pro | $290 per month | 2 builder and 3 organizational user seats | 100 templates, 50 workflows, 600 sessions a month, 6,000 emails, legal template library, Stripe payments, custom domain and white label, embedding on your site, DocuSign integration, priority support |
| Scale | Starting at $417 per month, billed annually | Custom | Unlimited workflows, sessions and emails, custom limits, API access, single sign-on, account manager, onboarding |
The comparison table also lists an Enterprise column, "Contact Sales", with the same kind of features as Scale. The page does not say whether Scale and Enterprise are one plan under two names.
Where the page disagrees with itself
- Standard price. The plan card shows $210 a month and the comparison table shows $165 a month. We cannot tell from the page which one applies, or whether one is the annual rate. Ask for the invoice figure before you buy.
- Standard seats. The card says 1 builder seat. A feature line in the comparison table mentions 2 builder seats, while the seat grid shows 1 builder and no organizational users.
What the plans do not cover
- Trial. Lite, Standard and Pro show a 7-day trial, and the comparison table says no credit card is required. Some buttons read "Try Pro Free" without a length.
- Extra users. On Lite and Standard you must upgrade to Pro or Scale to add builders or organizational users. On Pro and Scale, users above your allotment are billed at $50 a month per builder and $35 a month per organizational user.
- Payment. Monthly plans are paid by credit card. Annual plans can also be paid by ACH, wire transfer or check.
- Building help. Gavel lists "Hire an Automator", an optional paid service where a vetted Gavel Expert quotes per project. No rates are published.
- Gavel Exec. Gavel also sells Exec, AI contract review in Word (draft, review, redline, playbooks, benchmarking). Its pricing sits on a separate page not covered here, so no Exec price appears.
What you are buying
Gavel Workflows is rules-based document automation: you build a template with logic, a client fills a form, and the tool generates the Word or PDF document. The page frames it as turning intake into documents faster; it gives no speed figure we could check. It is different from a generative drafting tool. If you want an AI assistant that drafts from scratch, read our Gavel profile and the pricing models guide first.
The page says Gavel undergoes regular penetration testing by a third-party security firm and that data is isolated by tier. It names no SOC 2 or other certification; no certification was checked elsewhere.
