Pricing

Free for buyers. Five percent for vendors.

Vendors keep 95 cents of every dollar earned through Scope. Compare to consolidator agencies that take 50 to 80 percent of the invoice. Same work, dramatically better economics.

Buyer pricing
Free through Q2 2027
$0

Free for buyers across every firm size through Q2 2027. No subscription. No per-dispatch fees. No per-seat pricing. Your AI assistant calls Scope, vendors quote, you pick, the vendor pays Scope a small cut when they win the work.

Why free. Scope's revenue comes entirely from the winning vendor. This structure means firms can never be referred to a vendor for a fee, which keeps Scope clean of ABA Rule 7.2 referral concerns.

Launch markets

Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver.

Now launching in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Denver. Our launch marketing focuses on these three metros, but Scope accepts vendor applications from anywhere in the United States. If you operate in any US metro, you can join at the same 5percent founding rate. The launch market emphasis is about where we're concentrating buyer-side outreach first.

Founding Partner status

Recognition, not a discount. Same 5 percent. Structural benefits on top.

The first 100 vendors per category in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Denver qualify as Founding Partners. Same 5 percent take rate as every launch-window vendor, plus a structural package designed for the early-believer cohort:

  • +5 percent take rate locked for life (as long as you maintain minimum dispatch volume)
  • +Free 24-hour instant payouts during your first year
  • +Featured placement on Scope's discovery surfaces
  • +Personal introduction from the founder to law firms in your metro
  • +Founding Partner spotlight and LinkedIn co-marketing
  • +Early access to new features 30 to 60 days before public release
  • +Direct line to the founder for product feedback in your first 90 days
  • +Founding Partner badge on your profile and every bid card

Pricing stays the same 5 percent for every launch-window vendor. The package is recognition for the early cohort, not a different rate.

What this looks like in dollars

Same destination-charge math across every legal category.

Firms see one invoice at the quoted rate. Vendors net the quote minus the 5 percent take rate. Scope never bills the firm.

Court reporting

Full-day deposition in San Francisco. Realtime + expedited transcript.

Firm's invoiceOne linefrom the vendor, at the quoted rate

California mid-market averages, 2026. Actual quotes vary by vendor, jurisdiction, and matter complexity. Sources: published rate cards from court reporting marketplaces, IME panel directories, records retrieval consolidators, process serving directories, expert witness directories, e-discovery vendor rate cards, certified translator directories, and ADR panels.

Optional add-ons

None of these affect the core pricing above.

All opt-in, all usage-priced if you choose to use them. Buyer pricing stays free regardless of which add-ons exist.

For vendors (optional)
Embedded payments

Small per-transaction fee for vendors who want Scope to handle invoicing and transfer end-to-end. Invisible to firms.

Instant-pay financing

Optional small discount for 24-hour payout instead of standard Stripe timing.

For buyers (optional)
Premium analytics

Deeper spend intelligence, custom rollups, and cross-firm benchmarking. Usage-priced. Pricing finalizes when the feature ships.

For AI platforms (separate billing)
MCP per-call pricing

AI-platform integrators (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, vertical AI like Harvey or CoCounsel) pay Scope per dispatch tool call. Billed to the AI platform, not to the firm or vendor.

Included for buyers

Vendor governance, delivered through your AI.

Scope is a vendor-governance system of record on top of the dispatch layer. Every credential, every awarded engagement, every state change, every spend rollup is queryable through the same MCP tools your AI already uses to dispatch.

Vendor governance

Per-vendor COI, W-9, insurance, BAA, and on-time status. Append-only audit log per matter.

What you don't pay for

What we deliberately don't charge for.

AI summary of transcripts. Transcript analysis. Exhibit cross-referencing. Deponent insights. The single-vendor portals paywall these as premium features, built and priced when law firms didn't have direct AI access. The AI you already use does the same analysis at no additional cost. Scope is dispatch infrastructure; your AI is the analysis layer.

  • +Transcript AI summary: free via your existing Claude / ChatGPT / Cowork connection
  • +Exhibit cross-referencing: free via your AI's file-attachment and analysis
  • +Deponent insights: free via your AI's research and synthesis
  • +What Scope DOES charge: the 5 percent take rate on awarded dispatches, captured at the Stripe Connect rail. That's it.

Common questions

Wait, so buyers really never pay Scope?
Correct through Q2 2027. Buyers pay vendors at the vendor's quoted rate, via Stripe Connect. Scope's take rate comes out of the vendor's side of the awarded quote. The firm sees one invoice, from the vendor, at the quoted rate. The structural reason: ABA Rule 5.4 prohibits fee-sharing with non-lawyers. Scope never touches the lawyer-client fee transaction. We process the firm-to-vendor B2B payment and take a commission from the vendor side only.
Why a take rate instead of a subscription?
Subscriptions charge you whether you win work or not. A take rate aligns the platform with vendor success: we earn only when vendors earn. 5 percent on a $5,000 deposition award is $250. You set your own bid price; the take comes off the top of awarded work.
When do I actually pay?
Vendors pay the take rate only on awarded engagements, after the buyer confirms the work as complete. Buyers do not pay Scope anything through Q2 2027.
What if we already have vendors we like?
Use roster mode. Mark your existing reporting agency, IME panel, and expert network as primary or backup. New requests route to them first while the broader marketplace stays available as a fallback. Same vendors, same rates, completely different workflow.
Is there a contract or commitment period?
No. Either side can leave at any time. There's no annual MSA, no minimum spend, no early-termination fee. You can export your matter history and your verified-reputation record as a portable JSON or PDF on the way out.
How long does the founding rate stay locked?
24 months from your activation date if you join during the launch window (through end of 2026). After the launch window closes, the standard rate of 7 percent applies to new vendors joining after.
What does the Founding Partner badge actually get me?
Same 5 percent rate as every other launch-window vendor, plus a structural package: (1) 5 percent take rate locked for life as long as you maintain minimum dispatch volume; (2) free 24-hour instant payouts during your first year; (3) featured placement on Scope's discovery surfaces; (4) personal introduction from the founder to law firms in your metro; (5) Founding Partner spotlight and LinkedIn co-marketing; (6) early access to new features 30 to 60 days before public release; (7) direct line to the founder for product feedback in your first 90 days; (8) Founding Partner badge on your profile and every bid card. The first 100 vendors per category in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Denver qualify.
Do I have to be in Houston, DFW, or Denver to join?
No. Vendor applications are accepted from anywhere in the United States at the same 5 percent founding rate. The three-metro launch is where Scope is concentrating buyer-side outreach first; vendor sign-up is open nationally.
Where does my data sit?
In a Supabase Postgres cluster (US-East). Row-level security per organization, encrypted OAuth tokens at rest, SOC 2 Type I in progress. Compliance and trust details live on the trust page.
If our team uses Claude or Microsoft Copilot, does that change pricing?
No. You don't pay for AI dispatch through Scope. The AI platform you use (whatever it is) handles its own subscription independently. When AI integrators pay Scope per-call later, that bills to them, not to you.
What buyers actually see

One MCP call. Every active matter, bucketed.

scope_briefing returns the buyer's portfolio split by what needs attention this morning: action_required, awaiting_vendor, scheduled_this_week, recently_completed. Same call across every AI client.
