Friends of the wiki

Vendors who support open community conversation about their tools.

A Friend of the wiki has signed a short, plain-language pledge. The core: they won't penalise their customers for speaking openly about their experience or pricing on r/legaltech or rlegaltech.com.

The Pledge

Six principles.

By signing, vendor leadership โ€” not marketing โ€” commits to:

  1. Accurate informationKeep the vendor page up to date.
  2. Public pricingTransparent pricing โ€” model and starting price at minimum.
  3. No astroturfingNo fake reviews, shill posts, or sock puppets.
  4. Honest engagementVendor flair on r/legaltech; disclose affiliation.
  5. Respect the communityNo unsolicited promotion.
  6. Open conversation with customers B2B pricing is negotiated, and one price doesn't fit all โ€” this site doesn't pretend otherwise. We're comfortable with customers sharing ball-park pricing and honest experience, and we won't penalise them for doing so.

Early days โ€” no Friends yet.

The pledge is new. We expect the first vendors to sign over the coming weeks, and they'll appear here as they do.

Why it's worth signing

Legaltech contracts routinely contain confidentiality clauses, NDAs, and terms of service that could be read to prohibit sharing pricing or product feedback publicly. Practitioners are lawyers โ€” they read the fine print and self-censor.

A vendor signalling openly that they're fine with ball-park pricing talk and honest feedback removes that friction. Over time, that shows up as better, richer information on their vendor page โ€” more pricing data, more switching stories, more specifics on what works. Signing the pledge is in a vendor's own interest.

What being a Friend does โ€” and doesn't โ€” mean

Friends are not ranked higher. Friends don't get featured placement. A Friend vendor can still receive low scores and filed dissents like anyone else. The only visible marker is a small friend-of-wiki dot on the vendor page and in directory listings โ€” a signal to practitioners that this vendor has chosen to participate openly.
