FAQ
Clear answers before you price a matter.
These answers separate what PreciselyMaybe calculates, what AI helps with, how access and billing work, and what remains under your professional judgment.
Product & method
What is PreciselyMaybe?+
A decision-support tool for pricing legal work. It maps a short generic description into activities, effort, scope risk and a pricing reading, then adds jurisdiction context when verified public references are available.
Does PreciselyMaybe tell me the correct or fair fee?+
No. It does not declare a fee correct, fair, mandatory or sufficient. The output is a structured starting point for your own pricing decision.
What is Price Fit?+
A 0–100 reading of how a proposed fee aligns with the mapped work and confirmed assumptions. It appears only when you provide a proposed fee and should always be read together with the effort range, risk and assumptions.
What does AI do — and what does it not do?+
AI helps interpret a generic work description and explain an already-calculated result. You confirm the scope. Hours, risk, scenarios and Price Fit are calculated by PreciselyMaybe's deterministic engine; the language model does not own the fee math.
What are public pricing references used for?+
They provide jurisdiction context only. PreciselyMaybe identifies the source and its limits and never borrows a local reference from another territory. Public references do not mechanically determine Price Fit.
What if verified local pricing references are limited or unavailable?+
PreciselyMaybe still structures the scope and calculates the result from the confirmed work and assumptions, but it tells you when reliable local context is limited. It does not invent a reference or substitute data from another jurisdiction.
Access, modes & plans
Do I need an account to run an analysis?+
Yes. Analyses require a signed-in account. A Free account includes one lifetime Quick analysis. One-off purchases also require an account so the purchased structured result can be reopened for 90 days.
What is the difference between Quick, Full and Advanced?+
Quick is focused scoping with up to 6 structured questions. Full goes deeper with up to 10. Advanced can use up to 14. Basic, Plus and Pro can run Advanced; detailed jurisdiction pricing context, available public references and side-by-side scenario editing are included with Pro Advanced or a standalone Advanced purchase.
Which modes are included in each subscription?+
Free includes Quick once. Basic, Plus and Pro include Quick + Full + Advanced. Basic has 20 monthly credits; Plus has 60 plus history, reusable templates, your own comparables and discount simulation; Pro has 150 plus detailed Advanced tools and saved preferences.
Can I buy a single analysis without subscribing?+
Yes. Quick is USD 9, Full USD 19 and Advanced USD 39. A one-off purchase gives you the depth of that analysis for one matter, but not subscription continuity features such as history, templates, own comparables, saved preferences or monthly credits. A one-off purchase does not create a subscription and its structured result can be reopened for 90 days.
What intelligence level does each option use?+
Subscriptions are positioned as Free Essential, Basic Adaptive, Plus Advanced and Pro Professional. One-off Quick uses Adaptive, Full uses Advanced and Advanced uses Professional. These levels describe PreciselyMaybe routing; provider brands are not a plan entitlement.
How do credits work?+
Quick costs 1 credit, Full 2 and Advanced 3. One submitted Update result command for financial numbers costs 1 credit. Restoring originals, discount simulation and Advanced scenario editing cost 0. Ask Percy also costs 0.
Do monthly credits roll over? How do annual-plan credits work?+
Monthly subscription credits refresh each month and do not roll over. Annual plans are billed once per year for 12 months of access, but plan credits still refresh monthly. Purchased top-up credits follow their separate rule and are used after monthly credits.
What are credit packs?+
They are top-ups only for active Basic, Plus and Pro subscribers: 10 credits for USD 19, 30 for USD 49 and 75 for USD 99. Purchased credits do not expire under the current launch rule and are used after monthly credits. They are not an alternative to a subscription or a one-off analysis.
What are the subscription prices?+
Basic is USD 19/month or USD 190/year, Plus USD 49/month or USD 490/year, and Pro USD 99/month or USD 990/year. Annual billing equals 10 monthly payments for 12 months of access. Subscriptions renew automatically at the selected cycle until canceled.
Which countries and currencies are supported?+
The current jurisdiction selector covers Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom and Argentina, with regional selection inside each country. Verified public-reference depth varies by jurisdiction. Analysis display currencies are USD, BRL, EUR, ARS and GBP. PreciselyMaybe does not perform FX conversion between them; paid checkout is denominated in USD.
Percy, support & account security
Who is Percy?+
Percy is PreciselyMaybe's in-product helper. Common product questions can be answered directly, and signed-in users can ask free-form questions about how PreciselyMaybe works, plans, credits and navigation. Ask Percy costs 0 credits and does not calculate fees, hours or Price Fit.
Can Percy give legal advice or answer questions about my client matter?+
No. Percy is limited to product help and does not provide legal advice, draft legal documents or analyze a specific client matter. Do not send Percy confidential, privileged or personal information.
What support is included with each plan?+
Free includes product AI help. Basic includes AI help plus Community. Plus and Pro include AI help, Community and email support.
Can I protect my account with two-step verification?+
Yes. Signed-in users can enable authenticator-app two-step verification from Account security. It is optional for standard user accounts and adds a second factor after the password when enabled.
Data, privacy & learning
Is my work description stored?+
No. The raw description is not persisted in the PreciselyMaybe database. An unfinished draft may exist only in browser session storage while you work through the flow.
Can I enter client names, documents or confidential information?+
No. Use generic descriptions only. PreciselyMaybe screens for some obvious identifiers, but that is a safety layer, not permission to submit confidential, privileged or personal information.
Does PreciselyMaybe train external AI on my analysis?+
No. External AI calls are configured not to use prompts for model training. PreciselyMaybe does not persist raw client or work descriptions in its database. Structured, non-confidential signals may be used in a controlled, versioned calibration process after review and testing.
What can be stored when I am signed in?+
Account and preference data, structured calibration signals and, when you choose to save an analysis, a sanitized structured summary. Community posts and replies are stored because the forum needs persistence. Raw work descriptions are not stored.
What are my own comparables?+
For Plus and Pro, PreciselyMaybe can surface similar structured analyses from your own history. They never mix another user's matters and are not presented as a market benchmark.
Billing, refunds & responsibility
Who processes payments, and does PreciselyMaybe store my card details?+
Paddle processes paid transactions as Merchant of Record. PreciselyMaybe does not store payment-card data. Paid checkout is in USD, and applicable taxes are calculated and shown by Paddle at checkout based on customer location.
How do refunds work?+
Paid purchases processed by Paddle have a 14-calendar-day refund window from the transaction date. The same window applies to subscription payments and renewals, one-off analyses and credit packs. Refund requests are handled through Paddle's buyer-support or transaction-management channels.
Can I cancel a subscription?+
Yes. You can cancel a recurring subscription at any time through the billing flow or Paddle customer portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; the payment or renewal remains covered by the 14-calendar-day refund window.
Does PreciselyMaybe replace professional judgment?+
No. It is an informational decision-support tool. You remain responsible for defining the engagement, checking the assumptions, deciding the fee and exercising professional judgment.
