What is included in the trial

What is the difference between an Admin and a Billing Admin?
* An Admin manages the workspace, including users, access, and configuration.
* A Billing Admin is responsible for all billing-related actions, such as managing subscriptions, viewing invoices, and updating payment details.
If you are an Admin without billing permissions, you can easily assign the appropriate person as Billing Admin in the settings. This ensures billing remains controlled by the right stakeholder, while operational access stays with the team.
Is Emma Legal’s pricing monthly or yearly?
Emma offers only yearly subscriptions.
This provides continuity across multiple transactions, predictable budgeting, and aligned partnership terms. Within this subscription, document usage is tracked per document, ensuring flexibility while maintaining overall cost control.
In practice, you commit to a yearly plan and pay once per year. As your usage grows, you can upgrade to a higher tier at any time, benefiting from a lower cost per document and ensuring your pricing remains aligned with your deal volume.
Can we pass Emma’s cost on to our clients?
Yes.
You have a clear, real-time overview of how many documents have been processed per deal, making it easy to track and allocate costs. If preferred, this can be directly incorporated into your client invoice.
Billing access remains internal, meaning clients cannot be assigned as Billing Admin.
How should we position this cost internally (to partners or finance)?
Emma’s pricing is directly aligned with workload and deal complexity.
Instead of a fixed software cost, it behaves as a variable deal cost, similar to external advisors or data room expenses. This makes it easier to allocate, track, and justify per transaction.
To leverage the full value of Emma, we do suggest that you role Emma out across your entire M&A team, this will allow consistent result across all M&A transactions and excellent usage. For more information please contact us via the chat or our contact page.
Does Emma reduce overall due diligence costs?
Absolutely.
Once connected to the data room, there is no need to download, rename, or organize documents. Everything is structured automatically. You also immediately see which documents are missing, before reviewing a single file, so you avoid losing time on incomplete data rooms.
The main efficiency gains are very concrete:
* Risks are flagged across all documents, not just sampled ones
* Documents can be reviewed and compared in bulk, instead of one by one
* Teams work in one shared workspace, instead of across emails and spreadsheets
* Findings are instantly available as structured summaries, ready to move into your due diligence report
In short: less manual work, fewer delays, and earlier visibility on risks.
That’s why our clients see value from day one, not as a long-term promise, but as an immediate improvement in how the work gets done.

How does Emma support high deal volume teams?
Emma is designed to scale across multiple parallel transactions.
There are:
* No seat limitations
*No restrictions on team collaboration
*Flexible document-based scaling
This makes it particularly suited for firms and investors managing continuous deal flow.
Can we start small and expand later?
Yes.
You can start with a smaller tier and scale at any time as your deal flow increases.
