The plans
What Brightflag charges
Brightflag publishes no price list. Your bill combines a fixed one-time implementation fee with an annual subscription based on your outside counsel spend.
Brightflag subscription
Quoted privately
You pay a one-time implementation fee and an annual subscription scaled to your outside counsel spend.
How the bill is built
One-time implementation
Brightflag charges a fixed implementation fee when the service is set up. The amount is not published, so you need a private quote to see what it will add to your first bill.
Annual subscription
The recurring charge is an annual subscription. Brightflag does not publish a price list, so you need to get a quote for your business rather than choose from public tiers.
Outside counsel spend
Your annual subscription is scaled to your outside counsel spend. As that spend grows, the Brightflag bill grows too, even if the records and work your team handles are similar.
A year of Brightflag
Your yearly Brightflag cost
Brightflag has no public annual price, so there is no published yearly total to multiply or compare. Your annual bill includes a subscription based on your outside counsel spend, plus a fixed one-time implementation fee when you set it up. Higher outside counsel spend drives the subscription up, so the yearly amount depends on your own legal spend and quote.

What you are really paying for
Invoice intake and review
Brightflag processes LEDES and PDF invoices from your firms, checks billing against your guidelines and can approve or reject invoices automatically. The review compares invoice lines with agreed rates and rules your team has written.
Budgets and reporting
The service includes budgets by matter and practice area, accrual collection for finance, and dashboards and custom reports. Budgets and accruals draw on figures your lawyers and firms already supply each month.
Benchmarking and analysis
Brightflag also offers rate benchmarking, automatic work classification, invoice summaries and spend forecasts. These capabilities sit alongside the core records and invoice work, so consider which ones your team relies on.
The owned alternative
Keep your legal spend system
Legal Spend is built around how your business runs, with your records in a database you own and a plain-language way to work with them. Enterprise DNA builds your version, brings your Brightflag data across and runs it for you for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Questions
Brightflag pricing, answered
How do I find Brightflag's price for my business? expand_more
Brightflag does not publish a price list. It charges a fixed one-time implementation fee and an annual subscription based on your outside counsel spend. You will need a private quote to see the amount for your business.
Can I work out Brightflag's yearly cost from public prices? expand_more
No public price is listed, so there is no published monthly or annual figure to use for a yearly total. The subscription is annual and scaled to your outside counsel spend. The one-time implementation fee is separate from that recurring subscription.
Does Brightflag charge per user or per invoice? expand_more
Brightflag's public pricing description gives a one-time implementation fee and an annual subscription based on outside counsel spend. It does not give a per-user or per-invoice price, so ask Brightflag for a quote based on your business.
