Indicative and subject to change; enterprise prices are quoted on request. Always confirm on the vendor's own page.

Confidentiality & privilege

Governed by Workspace admin settings. For firms already on Google, data boundaries and retention can be managed centrally — but still redact privileged material before pasting.

Our verdict

The pragmatic pick if your firm lives in Google Workspace. Use it for drafting inside Docs and quick summaries; verify authorities as always.
