Pick a tier without mixing six clients together

Picture the client who calls about a supplier contract and the next client's data request arriving the same morning. Your decision is not whether drafting help saves time, it is whether the tier you pick keeps each client's papers apart while you draft, and that question comes before any price comparison.

You will use the assistant to shape action plans, draft document wording and build deadline and evidence checklists for each client's matter. That work repeats across accounts, which is why a lifetime tier appeals to an agency with a steady stream of small matters rather than one big filing every few years.

The practical test is simple. Map one live client matter end to end, note where you would otherwise draft by hand or search for the right agency steps, and check whether the tier you are considering covers that pattern. If it does not, the cheaper tier is not cheaper for you.

Across the published tiers, the difference you feel day to day is capacity and how the assistant is supplied. A larger tier generally gives you more room to draft and plan, while the BYO key option lets you bring your own key instead of buying usage inside the plan. Read the tier descriptions on softwareprogrammer.app rather than assuming.

For an agency, that extra room matters when several clients need checklists in the same week. You are not buying one big matter, you are buying repeated small drafting jobs, so a tier sized for occasional use will slow you down at the point where deadlines cluster and two clients need attention on the same day.

Escalation routes are the other piece worth checking per tier. When a client's matter moves beyond a draft, you need a clear path to a qualified person, and the assistant maps that route rather than deciding it. Confirm what each tier gives you there before you commit.

Your objection is the shared inbox, and it is a fair one. One thread where client A's contract sits beside client B's evidence is exactly how an agency loses track of whose matter is whose. No drafting tool fixes that alone, so decide your filing and naming convention first, then hold every draft to it.

Treat the assistant as a drafting desk, not a mailbox. Each client matter gets its own folder and its own checklist, and the draft comes out of that folder rather than a shared stream. That habit does more for separation than any feature, and it is the reason a lifetime purchase can work for a small agency.

The second hesitation is trust in the output. The assistant produces plans, drafts and checklists, and you check them against current official guidance before anything reaches a client. That review step is part of your service, and it is what keeps a cheap tier from becoming an expensive mistake.

Compare Personal lifetime with Professional lifetime first. Personal suits an agency testing the workflow on a few matters, where drafting is occasional and you are still building the habit of separating client folders. Professional is the tier to weigh when client matters arrive regularly across your roster and you need more drafting room.

Then weigh the BYO key lifetime option. If you already hold a key you want to use, bringing your own changes the shape of the purchase, and the published tier describes how that works. Read the terms on the site before deciding which route suits your agency's habits.

Price sits in the publisher's own table, so open softwareprogrammer.app and read the three tiers against your own matter count. Decide which tier matches your busiest month, not your quietest, and check the separation habit you will apply to every file.
