The Subscription Trap: Why Law Firms Need a Shared Credit Wallet
Most legal software sold today copies the Western SaaS model: per-user monthly subscriptions.
At first glance, a price tag like ₹2,799/month sounds affordable. But look at how an actual Indian law firm operates:
Senior Advocate (Reviewer/Arguer)
2 Junior Advocates (Drafting & Research)
2 Office Clerks (Filing, Translation, Typing)
If every staff member needs an account to draft, OCR, or translate files, that ₹2,799 quickly multiplies. A 4-person team ends up costing over ₹11,000 every single month—regardless of whether your court is on vacation or whether case volume dips.
Indian law practice does not operate on a fixed monthly output. Your tools shouldn't bill you like one.
Why Per-Seat Billing Hurts Law Chambers
The "Login Sharing" Hazard: To avoid paying for 5 separate seats, firms often share a single master login. This creates chaos: draft histories get overwritten, confidential client notes get exposed to everyone, and there is zero accountability for who edited what.
Paying for Downtime: During court summer recesses or festival breaks, your software subscription continues charging you at full price while your active workload drops.
Clerk Exclusion: Because adding another seat costs thousands of rupees, senior partners avoid giving software access to clerks—the exact people who handle routine documentation and translation.
The Alternative: The Shared Firm Wallet
A shared credit wallet treats legal tech like firm utilities: you only pay for what you actually produce.

- One Firm Account, Unlimited Role Access: Create Admin logins for partners and separate Employee logins for clerks and juniors. Everyone gets their own private history and workspace without adding extra subscription fees.
- Pay Per Action: Need a single Tamil translation? It costs ₹59. Need a custom draft? It costs ₹78. Top up what you need via UPI/Razorpay, and credits never expire.
- Predictable Client Pass-Through: Because costs are tracked per document, you know exactly what each filing cost your chamber, making client expense allocation straightforward.
A 5-person chamber should not pay enterprise-level software penalties just to draft routine notices and deeds.
