You Don't Need a Subscription to Get One Legal Report

Every legal research product we've looked at, including our own, is built around the same assumption: you're going to keep coming back. Sign up, pick a plan, pay every month, and in exchange get unlimited (or near-unlimited) use. That's the right model for a law firm, an HR team, or anyone whose job involves asking these questions every week.

It's the wrong model for almost everyone else. A law student with one assignment due Friday doesn't want a monthly plan. A small business owner who needs one employment contract checked before someone signs it doesn't want a subscription they'll use once and forget to cancel. They want the one thing they actually need, and they want to pay for exactly that, nothing more.

The Legal Marketplace

So we built a second way to use CitedAnswers, alongside the subscription plans: pay per report, no account required. Three products live today: a Deep Research Report ($9.99), a side-by-side Jurisdiction Comparison Report ($14.99), and a full Contract Review ($12.99) that checks an uploaded contract against real legislation and flags what's missing or risky.

The flow is the same regardless of which one you pick. Ask your question, or upload your contract, and the report generates for free: you see a real preview before you commit to anything. If it's what you needed, pay once with Stripe and the full report unlocks immediately: read it on the page, or download it as a formatted PDF or DOCX to keep or share.

Not a stripped-down version of anything

This isn't a lightweight preview of the subscription product: it's the same engine. A Deep Research Report bought through the Marketplace cites sections and court decisions exactly the way the subscription version does, each one clickable, opening the actual text of the law it's quoting. A Contract Review shows the same side-by-side view of your document next to every flagged clause, with the specific legislation it's checked against, suggested rewording, and the court cases that back up why it matters.

The only thing that's different is how you pay for it: once, for the one report you actually need, instead of committing to a plan sized for people who ask these questions every day.

Try it now

If you've got one question that needs a real, cited answer, or one contract you want a second opinion on before you sign it, the Legal Marketplace is built for exactly that. No account, no plan, just the report you came for.
