Plans and Billing

Lawzana offers subscription plans designed for law firms of all sizes. Choose a plan that matches your growth goals and budget.

Subscription Plans#

Free Plan#

Cost: $0/month

The Free plan gets your firm listed in the Lawzana directory with basic features:

  • Basic firm profile in the directory
  • Receive direct messages from potential clients
  • Respond to Q&A questions
  • No lead credits (cannot claim distributed leads)

Starter Plan#

Cost: $39/month or $390/year ($32.50/month)

The Starter plan increases your visibility and gives you a small lead credit allowance:

  • Everything in Free
  • 5 lead credits per month
  • Priority ranking in search results
  • Approximately 6x more inquiries than the Free plan

Pro Plan#

Cost: $199/month or $1,990/year ($166/month)

The Pro plan is built for firms serious about client acquisition:

  • Everything in Starter
  • 50 lead credits per month
  • Ad-free profile — No competitor ads on your profile page
  • Direct contact info — Phone and email displayed prominently on your profile
  • Featured Expert badge — Stand out in search results

Elite Plan#

Cost: $499/month or $4,990/year ($415.80/month)

The Elite plan maximizes your visibility and lead volume:

  • Everything in Pro
  • 100 lead credits per month
  • Search banner placement — Premium positioning in directory results
  • Approximately 2.5x more inquiries than the Pro plan

Lead Credits#

Lead credits are the currency for claiming distributed leads. When a potential client submits an inquiry, it's distributed to matching firms. To access the lead's contact details, you use one lead credit to claim it.

How Lead Credits Work#

  • Each lead claim costs 1 credit
  • Credits are included in your monthly subscription
  • Unused credits do not roll over — they reset on your renewal date
  • Your current usage is shown on your dashboard with a visual progress bar

Buying Additional Credits#

Need more leads beyond your plan quota? Purchase credit packs on demand:

Pack Credits Price
Small 3 credits $30
Medium 10 credits $90
Large 20 credits $170

Purchased credits are charged immediately to your payment method on file.

Tip
Monitor your credit usage on the dashboard to avoid running out mid-month. If you consistently use all your credits, consider upgrading to a higher plan.

Billing and Payments#
