Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Implementation costs scale with complexity: Small businesses can expect $2,000+ for basic setup (4-6 week timeline), while enterprise implementations with custom integrations and data migration can run $10,000-$50,000+ depending on existing systems and document volumes

2

Custom model training fees: While Kira's Quick Study feature allows custom provision extraction, training models on specialized or niche document types requires professional services billed at $200-$400/hour -- budget $5,000-$20,000 for complex custom model development

3

Ongoing training and adoption costs: Achieving optimal ROI requires ongoing user training as Kira releases new features and AI capabilities -- budget $2,000-$10,000/year for training programs, especially for firms with high associate turnover

4

Data migration and ingestion costs: Migrating existing contract repositories into Kira from legacy systems (SharePoint, iManage, network drives) incurs one-time data preparation and ingestion fees of $3,000-$15,000 depending on volume and format complexity

5

On-premise infrastructure overhead: Organizations choosing on-premise deployment over Kira's cloud SaaS must budget for server infrastructure, IT staff time for maintenance, and security patching -- adding $15,000-$50,000/year in infrastructure costs beyond the license fee

6

Annual price escalators and renewal increases: Enterprise contracts typically include 3-7% annual increases, and Kira's acquisition by Litera may introduce new bundling requirements or pricing changes at renewal -- negotiate multi-year rate locks during initial contracting
