Draftiro vs Lexis+ AI — overview
Lexis+ AI is LexisNexis's generative-AI layer over the Lexis corpus, with Shepard's-grounded citation verification and agentic drafting. It is a strong research product, and if LexisNexis is already in your stack, the AI layer is a natural add. Like the other research giants, though, it is sold on enterprise pricing and annual contracts, and it is a research tool rather than the workspace that runs your conflicts, deadlines, and matters.
Pricing, plainly
Lexis+ AI is custom enterprise pricing — typically around $200–$400 per attorney per month on annual contracts as of our June 2026 review; check LexisNexis's current pricing. Draftiro starts free (no card) with paid tiers from $29/mo, monthly or annual, with no procurement cycle. The difference is again scope and access more than head-to-head features.
Who should switch — and who shouldn't
Stay with Lexis+ AI if you rely on Shepard's-grounded verification and already pay for the Lexis corpus. The pragmatic play for many firms is to keep Lexis for the deep research and run Draftiro as the affordable daily workspace — drafting, CourtListener case-citation checks when available, conflicts, court-day math, and AI-assisted time entries for attorney review — instead of buying a second expensive research seat for work that doesn't need it.
Where Lexis+ AI wins

- Agentic drafting over the full Lexis corpus

Where Draftiro wins
- Transparent self-serve pricing — from $29/mo and a free plan, no procurement cycle (Lexis+ AI runs ~$200–$400/user/mo)
- A daily workspace with conflicts, court-day math, and matter management — not just research
- No annual enterprise contract or seat minimum

Common questions
Is Lexis+ AI’s Shepard’s verification stronger than Draftiro’s?
For citator-grade verification, yes — Shepard’s is a full citation-treatment service, deeper than the public CourtListener corpus Draftiro checks against. When CourtListener is available, Draftiro checks whether a detected case citation matches a case there and labels the result; for appellate work where every authority is shepardized, keep a Shepard’s or KeyCite check.
Does Lexis+ AI have self-serve pricing like Draftiro?
No. Lexis+ AI is sold on custom enterprise pricing and annual contracts (typically ~$200–$400/attorney/mo). Draftiro is self-serve from $29/mo with a free plan and no sales call.
Can I pair Draftiro with Lexis+ AI?
Yes. One workable setup is Lexis for deep, Shepard’s-grounded research and Draftiro as the daily workspace for drafting, conflicts, deadlines, and AI-assisted time tracking that Lexis+ AI does not provide.
Will my data train AI models?
No. Draftiro does not use your matter content to train AI models, and the Google Gemini paid-service terms we use bar Google from using it to improve its products. See our Privacy Policy for what providers may retain.
