Clauselex

Clauselex is a web workspace for legal professionals, built around matter documents, legal research and drafting. It suits advocates and teams working on Indian legal matters who want those tasks together; its value depends on checking AI-assisted answers and choosing a plan that covers the needed research and exports.

Overview

Clauselex connects research and drafting to documents attached to a matter, rather than treating each task as separate. That can suit lawyers handling ongoing cases, while its emphasis on Indian Supreme Court and High Court judgments makes it a poor fit for work that needs broader jurisdictional coverage.

Key features

Users can add notices, agreements, judgments and supporting papers to a matter and use them as context for research and drafting. Research can start with a plain-language question or a citation, then explore authorities and source links. Deep Research is intended for more extensive investigations, and treatment analysis can surface subsequent treatment where supporting decisions are available. This is a useful set of research paths, but the product itself warns that AI can make mistakes and source coverage may be incomplete. Check the facts, reasoning, current legal position and relevant passages before relying on an answer.

Drafting supports working drafts, suggested edits and saved-version comparisons. Word export is limited to eligible plans, so the free tier is better for exploring the workflow than producing export-ready documents. Shared matters, comments and review workflows serve chambers and teams; the Practice plan adds a client portal.

Clauselex says its bulk judgment data covers Indian Supreme Court and High Court judgments via AWS Open Data under CC-BY-4.0, while live search uses the Indian Kanoon API. Those sources give users material to inspect, but do not replace checking the authority and its relevance.

Pricing

The free plan costs ₹0.00 per free and allows 10 Quick research runs per day, five Deep Research runs in total, three drafts per month without export, five document uploads per month, one matter and seven-day history. It gives solo users room to try the core workflow, but the finite Deep Research allowance and lack of export make it restrictive for regular research or completed drafting.

Advocate costs ₹999.00 per month, billed ₹11,988/yr annually. It includes unlimited Quick research, 25 Deep Research runs per month, full treatment analysis, unlimited matters and drafting, Word (DOCX) export and 50 uploads per month. This is the clearest fit for an individual advocate who needs exports and recurring matter work. The 25-run monthly quota and upload cap still matter for heavier workloads.

Professional costs ₹1999.00 per month, billed ₹23,988/yr annually. It includes everything in Advocate, raises Deep Research to 100 runs per month and allows 200 uploads per month. The higher tier is for individual users whose research or document volume exceeds Advocate’s allowances; it does not add the team features specified for Practice.

Practice costs ₹1699.00 per month per seat, billed ₹20,388/seat/yr, with a minimum of three seats. It provides Professional features with a pooled research quota, 40 Deep Research runs per seat per month, shared matters, reviews, a client portal and one consolidated GST invoice. The seat minimum makes it a team purchase rather than a cheaper solo upgrade; pooling is useful when colleagues have uneven research needs.

One-time Deep Research top-ups are also offered: 25 runs for ₹999.00 per once or 60 runs for ₹1999.00 per once. The credits never expire, making them an option for occasional bursts without increasing a subscription tier. Prices are INR and GST-inclusive. Subscriptions are billed through Razorpay, can be cancelled anytime, and access continues through the paid period.

Who it's for

Clauselex is aimed at legal professionals working on their own matters or with a team. Solo advocates who need matter-linked research, drafting and DOCX export have a practical starting point in Advocate; chambers needing shared reviews and a client portal should consider Practice. Users whose work requires other jurisdictions, or who cannot verify AI-generated legal answers, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Documents, research and drafting are tied to shared matters, which can keep case work together rather than scattered across separate tools.
• Pro: Advocate includes DOCX export and full treatment analysis, making it more suitable than Free for completing ongoing legal work.
• Pro: Practice combines shared matters, review workflows and a client portal for teams.
• Con: Free allows only five Deep Research runs total and no draft export, limiting its usefulness beyond evaluation.
• Con: Research coverage centers on Indian Supreme Court and High Court judgments, and AI answers can be mistaken or incomplete.
• Con: Practice requires at least three seats, a material commitment for a small firm or solo practitioner.

Alternatives

AI Legal Research Software is a broader category to explore when comparing research tools. Align Research is another web-based freemium option for readers considering a different legal research product. CaseRead may suit readers comparing a web and API option with a free tier that includes daily research messages, citation checks, document analysis and projects. Curia is worth considering for a web-based freemium option whose paid Starter plan includes cited case research, document analysis and memos. Kvasir offers web and API access, with a free Hobby plan that includes the app, an API key and MCP. Legalcode may fit readers seeking web or API access and non-patent sources across 40 jurisdictions on its free plan. OpenJuris is another web-based freemium option. ArkLegal AI is a paid option with a free plan and trial across Android, iOS and web. CaseCraft is a paid Android, iOS and web option that offers one-time credit purchases as well as subscription plans.

Verdict

Clauselex is a strong candidate for an advocate or legal team that wants matter documents, Indian legal research and drafting in one web workspace. Choose it for the connected workflow and, for teams, shared reviews and a client portal; look elsewhere if your jurisdictional needs extend beyond its stated coverage or you need answers that do not require careful legal verification.
