Quillio vs Lexis+ AI
Lexis+ AI was renamed Lexis+ with Protege in February 2026, and it does not publish a single standard public subscription price in Australia.
Based on LexisNexis's public-facing materials, pricing is quote-based and customised to your organisation's size and the modules and content scope you need, then arranged through its sales team, so the cost varies by firm and there is no advertised list price to quote; AU buyers can reach LexisNexis on 1800 772 772.
Some AU fixed-term member packs have been advertised (for example a Year-1 offer of about A$690 per month on a multi-year minimum, per LexisNexis AU promotional material), and broader third-party bundled estimates put it in the region of A$125 to A$275 per user per month; all of these are third-party or promotional figures, not a confirmed standard price, so confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
For a firm already committed to the LexisNexis research stack, Protege is a natural extension grounded in one of the largest legal content libraries in the world.
Quillio takes the opposite approach to buying: transparent per-user pricing, a free trial with no sales call required, and no multi-year lock-in, built for Australian, New Zealand and UK law firms.
If you want to see your ongoing cost and test the product on your own files before committing, Quillio is the more direct answer; if your work lives inside the LexisNexis content library and citator, Lexis+ AI may suit.
This is a guide to how pricing works, not a quote — confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
Platform overview
Purpose-built for AU/NZ Quillio is an AI legal assistant built for Australian and New Zealand lawyers, by lawyers, serving solo practitioners through to mid-size firms and in-house teams. On pricing it is deliberately transparent: clear per-user plan tiers (Starter, Pro and Legal Practice) and a free trial with no sales call required, so a firm can see the structure and test the product on its own matters before committing, rather than scoping a quote blind.
It covers the full shape of a matter in one place: document review with redline amendments against a firm playbook; source-linked chronologies built from hundreds to thousands of emails and documents; drafting that learns your style; and plain-English AU and NZ case-law research that carries a source citation on every result. Compass, the in-product assistant, turns any multi-step workflow into a reusable one-click automation, lowering the change-management barrier to AI adoption.
Quillio is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified; aligned with SOC 2 Type 2, IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR; with a contractual commitment never to train on client documents, queries or AI outputs; and client matter content stored in Australia. An enterprise option keeps all AI processing in Australia.
It has a live Microsoft Word add-in, desktop and mobile apps, and six two-way integrations: Clio, Smokeball, OneLaw, Actionstep, iManage and NetDocuments (LEAP via the Word add-in). The lawyer verifies everything.
Australian owned and operated, headquartered in Sydney.
Lexis+ AI is LexisNexis's generative-AI offering, renamed Lexis+ with Protege in February 2026; it is the AI layer on the LexisNexis research stack, not a separate standalone company. LexisNexis is part of RELX (the LexisNexis Legal and Professional segment), a parent incorporated in England and listed on the London, Amsterdam and New York stock exchanges; it runs a dedicated Australian and New Zealand presence.
On pricing, LexisNexis does not publish a single standard public subscription price in Australia: based on its public-facing materials, pricing is quote-based and customised by organisation size and the modules and content scope a firm needs, then arranged through sales, and AU buyers can call 1800 772 772. Some AU fixed-term member packs have been advertised — for example a Year-1 offer of about A$690 per month on a multi-year minimum, per LexisNexis AU promotional material — and broader third-party bundled estimates put the cost in the region of A$125 to A$275 per user per month; these are third-party or promotional figures, not a confirmed standard list price, so confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
Protege is grounded in the LexisNexis content library and a firm's own documents, with citator-backed verification of returned citations (CaseBase for AU and NZ users). It runs across Microsoft 365 (Word, Outlook, Teams and Copilot) via Lexis Create+ and integrates with document management systems including iManage, NetDocuments and SharePoint.
LexisNexis launched Australian local hosting for its legal AI data in March 2025 on AWS and Azure, so documents, prompts and conversations can sit in the Australian region; the general-purpose models it integrates from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI are not locally hosted. Its security programme is independently attested, including SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001, with a contractual commitment not to train AI models on customer data.
A free trial is referenced; confirm current pricing and trial terms directly with LexisNexis.

The pricing question and the AU-law question are linked: part of what a LexisNexis subscription buys is depth of Australian legal content, and that depth is real — Lexis+ AI (now Lexis+ with Protege) is grounded in one of the largest legal content libraries in the world, with a dedicated AU and NZ presence and citator-backed verification of returned citations for AU and NZ users. Where Quillio differs is shape and transparency rather than presence: Quillio is built for AU and NZ practice across all eight states and territories plus Federal jurisdiction, is AU/NZ-law trained with weekly updates, and returns a source citation on every research result, built to refuse rather than fabricate when no authority exists, with the lawyer verifying everything.
Crucially for a price-shopper, Quillio shows its per-user tiers up front, where Lexis+ AI pricing is quote-based and scoped per firm. If your primary need is comprehensive legal-research content libraries, LexisNexis may suit; if you want a focused AU/NZ workflow product with pricing you can see, Quillio leads.

Data sovereignty
For a firm weighing cost against risk, where data is processed and stored is part of the value, not a footnote. Both vendors give Australian firms a data-residency story and the detail matters.
LexisNexis launched Australian local hosting for its legal AI data in March 2025 on AWS and Azure, so documents, prompts and conversations can sit in the Australian region; the general-purpose models it integrates from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI are not locally hosted, and RELX is a UK-incorporated parent listed in London, Amsterdam and New York. Quillio is Australian owned and operated, headquartered in Sydney; it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, aligned with SOC 2 Type 2, IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR, stores client matter content in Australia, encrypts in transit and at rest, and never trains on client documents, queries or AI outputs as a contractual commitment, with an enterprise option that keeps all AI processing in Australia.

Practice management integrations
What an integration footprint costs you depends on where your firm already works. Lexis+ AI (now Lexis+ with Protege) fits most naturally inside Microsoft 365 and the LexisNexis ecosystem: Lexis Create+ puts it inside Word and Outlook, and it connects to document management systems including iManage, NetDocuments and SharePoint; no AU practice-management platform such as Clio, Smokeball, Actionstep or OneLaw is named on its product pages, and what is in scope is set in the quote.
Quillio includes six live two-way integrations — Clio, Smokeball, OneLaw, Actionstep, iManage and NetDocuments (LEAP via the Word add-in) — plus a live Microsoft Word add-in, so the AI sits inside the practice and document workflow many AU firms already run, with documents syncing in and redlines and new docs syncing back to the client file, all without a separate scoping exercise. If your firm lives in Microsoft 365 and the LexisNexis ecosystem, Lexis meets you there; if your firm runs Clio, Smokeball, Actionstep, OneLaw, iManage or NetDocuments, Quillio connects to your practice today with two-way sync.

Key differences that matter
Where Quillio is strong Which platform for your practice?
Real scenarios showing which platform suits different types of Australian legal practice.
Managing partner costing a renewal at a mid-size Sydney firm
Your LexisNexis rep has pitched Lexis+ AI (now Lexis+ with Protege) on top of your research subscription, but the all-in cost is quote-based and you can't compare it on a per-seat basis without a sales process.
Get the scoped quote from LexisNexis on 1800 772 772 and ask exactly what is in it (modules and content included, per-seat vs firm licence, minimum seats, annual term, which AI features are add-on, usage limits, renewal uplift). In parallel, run Quillio on a free trial: its per-user tiers are visible up front with no sales call, so you can put a real, comparable number next to the Lexis quote before you commit.
COO / legal-ops lead at a growing practice deciding whether to commit now
Cash flow and flexibility matter most while you scale, and a bundled, quote-based, possibly multi-year research-plus-AI contract feels like a big commitment to make before you've seen the product in your own workflow.
Quillio. Transparent per-user pricing and a free trial with no sales call let you start small, forecast the cost, and avoid a multi-year lock-in while you grow. If you later need deep LexisNexis research content specifically, a Lexis subscription can sit alongside Quillio for those tasks — confirm current Lexis pricing directly with LexisNexis.
Sole practitioner price-shopping with no enterprise subscription
You searched for what a LexisNexis subscription costs in Australia, found no published per-seat price, and don't want a sales conversation just to learn the number.
Quillio is the faster path: per-user tiers you can see immediately and a free trial you can run on your own files, no sales call required. If you specifically need the depth of the LexisNexis content library, call LexisNexis on 1800 772 772 for a scoped quote and confirm current pricing directly with them.
Who should choose Lexis+ AI
If your primary need is a deep legal-research content library and citator, and your firm already runs on the LexisNexis stack, Lexis+ AI (now Lexis+ with Protege) may suit — the integrated research-plus-AI experience grounded in LexisNexis content is hard to match, and adding the AI layer to an existing subscription can be a natural extension. Firms comfortable with a sales-led, quote-based, typically annual contract, and that want a deep Microsoft 365 footprint and broad enterprise DMS reach, will get the most from it.
Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis on 1800 772 772.
Who should choose Quillio
Firms that want to see the price before they talk to sales should start with Quillio: transparent per-user plan tiers, a free trial with no sales call required, and no multi-year lock-in. Solo, small and mid-size AU and NZ firms and in-house teams without an enterprise research subscription will usually find Quillio faster to evaluate on a free trial, easy to budget for because the per-user cost is visible up front, and well aligned with everyday work such as source-linked chronologies, playbook-driven review, drafting, dictation and reusable one-click automations.
If transparent pricing, the ability to test on your own files, and AU/NZ-first design matter more than a bundled research-publisher contract, Quillio is the more direct answer.

Quillio vs Lexis+ AI, answered plainly.
LexisNexis does not publish a single standard public per-seat subscription price in Australia. Based on its public-facing materials, cost is quote-based and customised to the modules, content sets and seats your firm needs, then arranged through sales; AU buyers can call 1800 772 772. Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
There is no advertised standard list price for the AI offering; it is typically priced as part of a tailored LexisNexis subscription arranged through sales. Broader third-party bundled estimates put it in the region of A$125 to A$275 per user per month, and some AU fixed-term packs have been advertised (for example a Year-1 offer of about A$690 per month on a multi-year minimum, per LexisNexis AU promotional material) — treat these as third-party or promotional estimates, not a confirmed price, and confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
Lexis+ AI is LexisNexis's generative-AI offering, renamed Lexis+ with Protege in February 2026; it is part of the LexisNexis stack, not a separate standalone company. Confirm the current product naming with LexisNexis.
Not a single standard public price list for the AI offering at the time of writing — you will generally need a scoped quote from LexisNexis. This is common for bundled legal-research and AI subscriptions, where cost depends on the modules, content and seats included. Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
A free trial is referenced by LexisNexis, with access and terms arranged through its sales process; confirm current trial availability directly with LexisNexis. Quillio offers a free trial with no sales call required, so you can test on your own files before paying.
Ask which modules and content sets are included, whether it is per-seat or a firm licence, the minimum number of seats, the annual term, which AI features are included versus add-on, any usage limits, onboarding and training, the renewal uplift, and the contract and exit terms. These are the drivers of a quote-based price. Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis on 1800 772 772.
Bundled legal-research and AI subscriptions are usually scoped per firm — the price reflects which content libraries and modules you include, the number of seats, and the term — so vendors price by quote rather than a single list figure. The practical consequence is that you can't compare on price without a sales process and a scoped quote. Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis.
It depends on your work. If your primary need is comprehensive legal-research content libraries and citator-backed verification, LexisNexis may suit and the subscription can earn its keep. If most of your day is document review, drafting and chronologies, weigh that against the all-in quote-based cost. Confirm current pricing directly with LexisNexis, and consider testing a transparent alternative like Quillio free first.
Quillio is offered on three per-user plan tiers (Starter, Pro and Legal Practice) with a free trial and no sales call required, so you can see the structure and test it on your own files before committing. The best way to see the fit for your firm is to start the free trial.
Quillio publishes transparent per-user plan tiers, offers a free trial with no sales call required, and has no multi-year lock-in, so you can see your ongoing cost up front. Lexis+ AI (now Lexis+ with Protege) is quote-based, scoped by organisation size and content, and arranged through sales, so per-seat cost is hard to compare without a sales process.
