SmartAdvocate pricing
SmartAdvocate does not publish what it costs. You call a business development specialist and they build a quote for your firm.
What you pay
- You pay per user, in advance, and you must keep a credit card on file that they are authorized to charge.
- The things they do publish are the penalties. Getting your own data out when you leave costs at least $500. Falling six months behind means paying the arrears, twelve months up front, and a $1,000 restoration fee.
- Late payment adds 1.5% a month, compounded quarterly. Support outside 9 to 5 Eastern costs extra, and so does support for a problem that turns out not to be their software.
- If you move from their cloud to running it on your own server, you get credit for half of what you paid over the previous year.
How SmartAdvocate pricing works
Unit of charge and ancillary figures are published in the terms of service, effective 1 Jan 2026; the subscription rate is not. There is no pricing page; buyers call a business development specialist for a quote. The agreement sets a per user subscription under a Work Order stating users and service level, with users added at current prices and reductions effective no earlier than the next billing cycle. Payments are due in advance, and a credit card must be kept on file with a nonrevocable authorization.
Late amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5 percent per month compounded quarterly or the legal maximum. Published figures are ancillary: a data export on termination costs at least $500; reinstatement after six months or more of nonpayment needs the arrears, twelve months in advance and a $1,000 restoration fee; support outside 9am to 5pm Eastern on weekdays is billed at the greater of the standard hourly or Work Order rate; and moving from cloud to server earns a credit of fifty percent of the prior twelve months' fees. Refunds are for full months only. AI usage may be charged extra at the provider's discretion.
Note: No subscription rate is published at any level, and the published figures are ancillary or penalty charges rather than the price of the product. The agreement makes pricing confidential, barring either party from disclosing its terms, including pricing, without the other's written consent.
