Every case is different, but here’s a rough idea of what common milestones cost in credits:
- Analyze your case and identify legal issues: ~165–270 credits
- Draft a legal document (e.g., Answer, Motion to Dismiss): ~225–725 credits
- Prepare for and respond to discovery: ~420–1,385 credits
Document creation costs vary by template (50–500 credits per document), which is the biggest variable. Simpler documents cost less; complex motions with extensive research cost more. The cost is shown when you select a template, so there are no surprises.
At Pay-As-You-Go rates, most people spend $50–150 on a single document milestone. Subscribers at $150/month get 1,500 credits (10¢ each instead of 15¢), which covers most active months and rolls over for three months when things slow down.
For comparison, a lawyer would charge $250–500 per hour for the same work — and a single motion can take 10–20 hours. Courtroom5 gets you comparable output for a fraction of the cost.
Your $1 gets you 100 starter credits plus permanent access to the community — workshops, office hours, courses, and peer support, all included. Credits only apply when you use the Proof, Strategy, and Documents tools to take action on your case.
