Free plan
Yes
Free, and the core product is not gated: what a paid plan buys is headroom — a bigger notebook

Google AI Plus
Billed yearly
$4.17/mo
$49.99 a year, Google AI Plus plan −16%
Watch out: Deliberately limited — it will not answer what your documents do not cover, and cannot tell you whether they are any good. Paid headroom comes from a Google AI subscription rather than a plan of its own.

By MicrosoftRedmond, United States1 product across 1 category
Built for this. Sits inside Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, so it works on the documents and meetings a company already has. The closest thing to AI that needs no change of habit.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, sold to teams rather than to one person
Billed yearly
$21/mo
Microsoft 365 Copilot Business plan −17%
Watch out: An add-on rather than a standalone purchase: the enterprise Copilot seat is $30 a user a month on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 licence you must already hold, and Copilot Chat is only included if you already pay for an eligible subscription. Agents need an Azure subscription on top again.

Two things separate these and both are on every card.
Fit
Whether a tool is built for this job, a strong fit for it, or
able to do it without that being its focus.
Free plan
Whether there is a tier you can keep using rather than a
trial that expires.
The order
Fit first, then a free plan, then alphabetical. There is
no score, no weighting we decline to publish, and nothing on this site a company can buy.
Questions
What is the best ai for lawyers?
There is no single answer, which is why this page lists 4 rather than one: Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini Notebook. 4 of them are built for this kind of work rather than able to do it. Start with a free one.
Which of these have a free plan?
3 of the 4: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Notebook. Free means a real free tier you can keep using, not a trial that expires.
How was this list chosen?
By hand, from the 750 products this site tracks, and it is checked against the catalogue on every build — a product renamed or removed breaks the build rather than quietly disappearing from here. Nothing on this site can be paid for: no listing, no position, no wording.
