No per-GB hosting fees. No per-user review seats. Pick the deployment, see the price.
From a 60-second anonymous demo to a fully air-gapped self-host. Solo and Org tier list prices are on the active roadmap; Self-host is quoted per deployment.
Our open Cost Portal estimates a matter's 5-year total cost across Manual Linear, TAR 1.0, TAR 2.0 (CAL), LLM-Only, Static-Prompt LLM, CAL + AI Hybrid, and ORCA. Same scope, same risk model, side by side. Methodology is published. All inputs are yours to adjust.
The Cost Portal is open and free. Enter your matter scope — volumes, custodians, reviewers, deadline — and see the 5-year total cost on each of the seven major eDiscovery approaches, risk-adjusted for the cost of remediation if recall targets are missed.

Most eDiscovery vendors monetize per-GB hosting, per-user seats, and per-action fees. The math worked when storage was expensive and AI didn't exist. We don't think it works anymore.
| What you pay for elsewhere | Typical rate | Why ORCA doesn't charge for it |
|---|---|---|
| Per-GB hosting | $50–$150 / GB / month | Storage cost dropped 90% since these prices were set |
| Per-user review seats | $300–$500 / user / month | Our pitch is faster review with fewer reviewers, not seat sales |
| Per-promotion (review → production) | $0.20–$0.50 / doc | We meter the matter, not the doc |
| Per-export fees | $500–$5,000 / production set | Exports are part of the product |
| "Premium" AI features | Per-doc or per-matter add-on | Cert math + classifier are standard, not premium |
Rates are typical published market ranges. Your contracted rate with any vendor may differ.
Solo and Org tier pricing is on the active roadmap — we want our published numbers to be what we'll honor, not what we hope. Self-host is quoted per deployment because air-gap, support level, and footprint vary widely.
The Cost Portal runs your matter on seven approaches side by side — Manual, TAR 1.0, TAR 2.0 / CAL, LLM-Only, Static-Prompt LLM, CAL + AI Hybrid, and ORCA. Each is risk-adjusted against the cost of remediation if recall targets are missed.
Try (the anonymous demo) is free, no signup. For Solo and Org, scoped pilots on redacted slices of your data are available — book a walkthrough.
No. Connectors are included; collection bandwidth is metered against your tenant's cloud egress, not ours.
Standard support and training are included on Solo and Org tiers. Self-host comes with software + an annual support contract; tiered support levels (business hours / 24×7 / 24×7 + named TAM) are priced separately.
Yes. Self-host tier deploys ORCA into your tenant. Air-gap deployments supported with offline update media.
