## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these, depending on what you're trying to do. Pricing moved around a lot across sources, so treat the numbers as ballpark and confirm at checkout.
> 
> ## If you want a real lawyer, one contract at a time
> 
> **1. Law 4 Small Business (L4SB)** - My default recommendation for a one-off review. Flat $20/page with a 5-page minimum, so a typical 10-page vendor agreement or lease runs ~$200 and you know the price before you start. You get an actual attorney call up front and a findings discussion covering legal defects, financial risk, and what to push back on in negotiation. Predictable pricing is the thing small businesses most often get burned on, and this is the cleanest version of it. ([l4sb.com](https://www.l4sb.com/blog/lp/flat-rate-contract-review/))
> 
> **2. Surge Business Law** - Similar flat-fee model but structured as $400 + $30/page for members ($480 + $35/page otherwise). More expensive, but the base fee buys a more substantive engagement - drafting, red-flag checks, not just a markup. Worth it for a contract that actually matters (your first big customer MSA, a buy-sell, a commercial lease). ([surge.law](https://surge.law/contracts/))
> 
> **3. UpCounsel**
