The setup fee grows with your firm
NetDocuments charges a one time setup fee that scales with the number of users. Reported ranges are $2,500 to $5,000 for 1 to 5 users, $5,000 to $10,000 for 6 to 20 users, $10,000 to $20,000 for 21 to 50 users, and $20,000 or more above that.
Most of that fee is moving your old documents in and setting up folders and security. Clean up before you move. Delete duplicates and old drafts you do not need, and the move is faster and cheaper.
Why the price is hidden
Software sold this way is priced by the sales team, not by a price list. The rep learns your size, your budget and how badly you need it, then builds a quote. Two companies the same size often pay different amounts for the same product. That is why the numbers on this page come from buyers and analysts, not from the vendor.
How to judge the quote in your hand
- Ask for the setup fee for your exact user count.
- Ask for the all in number: licence, setup, training and support for year one.
- Ask what renewal looks like in year two and three, in writing.
- Get a second quote from a rival and say so on the call.
- Buy at quarter end, when reps chase targets.
- Cut seats and modules you will not use in the first 90 days.
Ways to pay less
- Clean up old files before the move to cut setup time.
- Pay yearly if the discount is real, not just a rounding of the monthly price.
- Start on the lowest tier and upgrade when you hit a wall.
- Ask for the setup fee to be waived or split over the year.
- Check the free trial or demo before you sign anything.
Before you decide
NetDocuments is built for firms that want their documents in the cloud with strict security. If your firm already keeps files in a general cloud drive, ask what you gain: legal specific filing, version control, email filing and client matter folders.
Ask about storage limits too. More stored data can add cost, so ask what is included per user and what extra storage costs before you sign.
One last point: ask about the minimum user count. It is usually 3 or 5 users, so a solo lawyer may pay for seats they do not use.
A final tip: ask what happens when a lawyer leaves. Per user pricing means you should be able to remove a seat at renewal. Ask whether seats can drop mid term, and how quickly a departed user's access and files can be moved to someone else.
