Draft and review contracts 10x faster
Trusted by 4,500 legal teams
Robin AI used to cost $0 for 1 user per month for up to 10 messages per day. Its Pro and Enterprise plans require customers to contact sales.
Today, Robin AI, once one of the most well-funded legal AI startups in the UK, stopped running as an independent company in late 2025 and early 2026.
Here’s a quick overview of Robin AI’s pricing structure and its alternatives in 2026.
Robin AI was an AI-powered legal intelligence platform that helps businesses and law firms draft, review, and manage contracts.
Robin AI launched in 2019. Richard Robinson, a former Clifford Chance disputes lawyer, and James Clough, a machine learning researcher from Imperial College London, founded the company. Robin AI set up headquarters in London, with offices in New York and Singapore. It was put up for distressed sale in 2025.
The Legal AI Assistant came with four main features:

Before Robin AI closed down, the legal AI software came in three tiers:
Robin AI also used to come with an AI+ Legal Services feature, which combined the expertise of human legal professionals with AI technology to deliver premium contract services. No public source lists a set price for this service.
These figures reflect Robin AI's last known pricing structure as documented by G2 and may no longer be available for purchase given the events described below.
Over the past few years of operations, Robin AI has made significant losses that have led it to put Robin AI on a distressed sale. Scissero acquired its managed services business, and Microsoft hired several of its former engineers and product specialists.
Since Robin AI’s shutdown, Robin AI's Legal AI Assistant software still has no confirmed owner as of 2026.
Robin AI can miss subtle contract issues, requiring human review to catch what the tool overlooks.
“Frankly, what bothers me about Robin AI is that it often misunderstands the phrasing of legal theory. This is helpful for standard contracts, though for more complex contracts you still need to manually review to avoid missing anything critical.
Additionally, while it does occasionally flag non-issues, it also misses some more subtle ones. That means we can’t trust it fully and we need another layer of human oversight, which often adds unexpected delay in finalization of contract.”
Despite the complaints, several users still praised Robin AI’s easy-to-use software and time-saving capabilities. Users love how Robin AI simplifies complex legal tasks for enhanced compliance and quicker decision-making.
Robin AI clearly discloses what’s included and what’s not in their plans. However, its tiered structure caused friction for smaller buyers:
Yes. Robin AI used to offer a permanent Free tier for one user, capped at 10 messages a day. Given the company's 2025-2026 wind-down, it's unconfirmed whether new sign-ups to the Free tier are currently possible or supported.
No. Most new buyers should look elsewhere in 2026. Robin AI offered clause-level review, fast contract search, and a Word-native workflow. However, because Robin AI was put on distressed sale with no company confirmed to take over its standalone Legal AI Assistant software, buyers have no guarantee of future updates, support, or data protection.
Consider Robin AI only if:
Robin AI's old pricing sat low, thanks to its Free tier. Here’s how it compares to active contract AI platforms in 2026:

Anyone comparing new tools should treat this wind-down as a lesson. Evaluate a legal AI platform in terms of vendor stability.
When comparing quotes from alternatives, ask directly about company funding runway, customer retention, and product roadmap commitments.
Model total cost of ownership around switching costs (data migration, retraining, playbook rebuilding) as well, especially if you’re moving off a platform on short notice.
Spellbook is a contract platform for drafting, review, and management through its new Autonomous Contract Management (ACM) feature. Like Robin AI, Spellbook works inside Microsoft Word.
Spellbook’s Review feature flags clauses that break from playbook rules and turns out redlined drafts in seconds, right inside the document a lawyer already has open. Spellbook’s Compare to Market feature checks contract terms against real-time market data from thousands of similar agreements, flagging where a provision falls outside the norm.
Teams rethinking their contract AI setup can see Spellbook's pricing or start a 7-day free trial today.

Robin AI's free plan cost $0 per month for one user, capped at 10 messages a day. Pro and Enterprise plans required a custom quote from Robin AI's sales team. Robin AI wound down as an independent company in late 2025, so current pricing details are unconfirmed.
No. Robin AI is no longer an independent company. Robin AI entered a distressed sale in 2025 after a funding round fell through. Scissero bought Robin AI's managed legal services arm in December 2025, and Microsoft hired former Robin AI staff in January 2026 without acquiring the company itself.
No. Microsoft hired a group of former Robin AI engineers for its Word team in January 2026. Microsoft says it has no plans to buy Robin AI or its remaining software, calling the move a hiring decision rather than a company purchase.
No public source confirms who owns or supports Robin AI's Legal AI Assistant software today. Scissero took the managed services team, and Microsoft hired the engineering team, but neither deal covered the software itself.

Yes. Robin AI offered a permanent free tier for one user, capped at 10 messages a day. Sign-up availability is unclear now, since Robin AI wound down its independent operations across December 2025 and January 2026.
A good Robin AI alternative in 2026 is an active, well-funded contract platform with a clear support team. Spellbook covers contract drafting, review, and management directly inside Microsoft Word, giving legal teams one workflow instead of a legacy add-in with an uncertain future.
