Pricing

Your cost: $499/month.

The per-client fee passes through to your clients. Most fGCs run 6 clients and pay less than $500/month out of pocket.

Quick answer
How much does Sapphire Legal cost?
Sapphire Legal is $499 per month for the base platform plus $999 per client firm, which fractional general counsels typically pass through to each client as a line item on their engagement letter. A fractional GC with 6 clients therefore has a real platform cost under $500 per month. The plan includes unlimited client firms, the Portfolio Command Center, Client Playbooks, full template library plus templateless drafting, all 13 practice area modules, Sapphire Clarity for uploaded call-recording analysis, Smart Collections, Matter Kanban, deadline tracking, and white-labeled client portal provisioning — with no per-seat charges, no usage-based AI pricing, and no storage tiers.
The math

At $350/hour, 15 hours a week recovered is $273k/year. Your platform costs $5,988.

The platform cost is $5,988/year assuming 6 clients and the pass-through model — just over 2% of the recovered capacity. Every dollar spent on the platform recovers ~$45 in billable capacity.

Why pass-through pricing

The pricing model matches the business model.

Fractional GCs already bill their clients for infrastructure — office hours, research tools, document storage. Sapphire Legal just lets you itemize that infrastructure as a flat $999/month line item per client.

Your clients get value

A branded portal, AI-drafted documents, real matter management, and institutional memory — not a spreadsheet and a Dropbox folder.

You stay profitable

The per-client fee is a fraction of what a junior associate costs. It's fully recoverable as a billable infrastructure line item on your engagement letter.

No surprise bills

No per-seat charges. No usage-based AI pricing. No storage tiers. A flat fee you can quote confidently in a client engagement letter.

The 30-Day Guarantee

If you don't recover at least 15 hours in your first 30 days, we'll refund your first month. No questions, no forms, no friction. We're confident enough in the platform to put that in writing.

FAQ

The usual questions.

What if I only have 1–2 clients today?

Start with the base plan and add clients as you sign them. Each new client takes 3 minutes to provision, so you're not paying for capacity you haven't sold yet.

Do my clients need separate accounts?

Each client gets a branded portal with their own login, per-tenant database, and isolated document storage. You control what they see.

Is there a trial?

We back the platform with a 30-day guarantee — if you don't recover 15 hours in your first month, we refund it. That's stronger than a trial. You're working with real client data on a real platform, not a sandboxed demo environment.

What if my client won't pay the pass-through?

Most fGCs bundle it into their monthly retainer rather than itemizing it. The pass-through framing is for transparency — how you bill is entirely up to you.

What's in the pass-through fee?

Everything on the plan list for that client firm: portal, database, storage, AI access, Clarity, Smart Collections, unlimited documents and matters.

Can I white-label for my clients?

Yes. Each client portal carries your firm's branding, not ours. Your clients see you — not Sapphire Legal — as the service provider.

What if a client leaves?

Export their data, archive the tenant, and stop paying for it. No migration fees, no lock-in clauses.
