Legal AI needs guardrails general models won't give you.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the legal job, so this one still earns its $65/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- GPT-4 legal reasoning. OpenAI, August 1, 2023 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 1 listed replacements have a usable free tier: ChatGPT (with caution).
- What the call is worth $780/yr
- $65/mo at the entry paid tier — $780 a year per seat.

The backstory
Casetext's CoCounsel was an early GPT-4-powered legal assistant (later acquired by Thomson Reuters). Raw GPT-4 can reason about law, but the liability, citation verification, and access to licensed case-law databases mean general chatbots aren't a drop-in replacement. Regulated verticals are a genuine moat.
