Billing and plans
Understand PAYG, Pro, and Enterprise plans, and how billing routes for solo attorneys vs. firm members.
What you'll do
This page is a reference. Read it to understand how Kalivar bills you, what each plan covers, and where the invoice lands.
Plan tiers
- PAYG — pay-as-you-go for solo attorneys. No monthly subscription; you're charged per case and per introduction as you use them. Solo only — firms can't choose PAYG.
- PRO — monthly subscription available to solo attorneys and law firms. Bundled credits at a lower effective rate than PAYG. For firms, the subscription sits on the firm organization and all members' usage rolls up to it.
- ENTERPRISE — per-organization pricing for law firms. Invoiced on net terms, with all firm members' usage rolled up to one bill.
Solo vs. firm-billed
Kalivar routes each charge to the entity that should pay for it.
- Solo attorney. You're charged at the user level. You see and pay your own invoices, and your payment method lives on your personal account.
- Firm-member attorney. Your firm pays under its plan. You don't see invoices; your firm administrator does. Your individual usage rolls up to the firm's bill.
The routing rule is simple: if you're acting under a law firm with an active subscription, the firm is billed. Otherwise, you're billed personally. Switching firms or working outside a firm context changes who pays — but the rule is consistent and the active billing entity is shown wherever a charge can occur.
Medical experts and expert networks never pay
Only law firms (Pro or Enterprise) and solo attorneys (PAYG or Pro) are billed. Medical experts and expert networks earn through Kalivar — they never pay. If you're an attorney inviting an expert colleague, they will not be asked for a payment method.
Where the invoice goes
- Solo: invoices are emailed to you and visible in your account-level billing settings.
- Firm member: invoices are routed to the firm and visible in organization-level billing settings to firm administrators.
Updating payment methods
- Solo: open your account settings and go to Billing.
- Firm administrator: open your organization's settings and go to Billing. Firm members can't change the firm's payment method.
Tips
- Medical experts and expert networks never pay — they earn.
- Enterprise invoices arrive on a monthly cycle with net-terms payment windows.
- You can switch between PAYG and Pro mid-cycle from your account-level billing settings.
- A failed introduction charge does not silently reveal expert identity — payment must succeed for the introduction to complete.
