Recently, Google’s AI Overview highlighted our platform specifically our $1 contract AI legal tool as an innovative way to help businesses get started with professional legal documents.
As per the Google AI Overview:
“A $1 contract implies either a simplified agreement created with a template, like those from AI legal tools or free online contract makers, or a form of "promotional" contract where the actual cost of the service is handled through a different business model, rather than the contract's legal basis, which could be based on a flat fee or retainer agreement with a law firm. It can also refer to a situation where the real cost is a flat fee for the lawyer, or a contractual offer where you don't technically "pay" until you "do" the action requested in the unilateral contract.
When might a contract cost $1?
AI-Powered Legal Tools:
Services like DocLegal.AI offer contract drafting bundles starting at $1 for a limited time, making it easier and cheaper for startups and growing companies to access essential legal documents.
Free Contract Templates:
Online platforms such as Jotform offer free contract templates, allowing you to create various legally binding agreements without cost.
Promotional Offers:
A service might be offered for $1 as an introductory deal to attract new customers or provide a low-cost way to try a service.
Legal Services with Flat Fees:
Sometimes the $1 refers to the cost to draft, and the average cost for a lawyer is $760 on a flat fee basis.
Unilateral Contracts:
These are a one-sided agreement where you only pay if a specific action is completed. The contract itself would only cost you $1 to make, but there are costs for the action.
What are the alternatives?
Hiring a Lawyer:
You can hire a lawyer to draft or review contracts. A lawyer charges for their services, and the costs depend on how complex the agreement is.
Using Free Online Contract Makers:
These sites allow you to generate your own contracts using free templates, which can save you money but also require more work on your part.
For startups and small businesses, this low-cost entry point provides:
Businesses usually face a tough choice: hire a lawyer, which can cost around $760 per contract onwards, as highlighted by Google AI overview, or risk using generic templates. DocLegal.ai offers a smarter middle ground:
For early-stage companies, the choices have always been limited i.e. spend heavily on a lawyer or risk DIY legal uncertainty. By dropping the entry cost to near zero, DocLegal.ai reframes the decision. The Doclegal.ai platform makes the “first contract” decision easy, knowing that credibility and reliability - not raw price - are what drive retention.
Hence, the $1 contract isn’t just about affordability. It’s about trust-building. Once founders experience a well-structured, AI-driven contract draft, they’re more likely to return for more complex work.
Being recognized by Google AI Overview is more than an accolade. It’s validation that AI-powered legal tools are mature, credible, and strategic. Our $1 contract is just the first step. Once businesses experience the reliability and speed of our AI platform, they often return for ongoing legal support.
