Pricing, features, and summaries

1. 1

   Harvey

   Large law firms and corporate legal departments running high-stakes work on one platform.

   Harvey is an AI platform for law firms and in-house teams, with agents, shared Spaces, a document Vault, contract intelligence, and a command center for usage. The site says more than 3,000 legal organizations use it and that default controls include SAML SSO, audit logs, IP allow-listing, and data lifecycle management.

   Pricing

   Not published

   No price, plan, or free trial is listed on the homepage opened. Access is presented through the product site rather than a public rate card. Last checked 5 October 2026.

   Key features

   SAML SSO. It can carry a stretch of the work, then wait. A person still approves anything that leaves the building.

   What users say

   Litigators on r/biglaw say Harvey is good enough for client work when the firm will not allow a public chatbot, and they mention proofing and contradiction checks.

   On r/legaltech, a pilot user says the sales motion was heavy and the product felt like a thin interface on GPT. Price is the complaint, not a missing feature list.

   • “I find Harvey invaluable in my work (I’m a litigator). I think that ChatGPT performs better, but Harvey is more than good enough, and we’re not authorized to use public models with client materials.”

     Reddit

   • “For the price, complete bullshit. the sales team oversells like crazy, but under the hood it’s just a thin UI on top of GPT with a prompt sheet and some document storage.”

   • “Legora looked a bit easier to use but also more limited.”

     Reddit

   • “Harvey is a waste, too high of a price. Legora apparently isn't Enterprise ready if you're at a large law firm.”

   • “So I moved to smaller tools like Spellbook, AI Lawyer, and CoCounsel and it honestly felt like the same practical benefit with less fuss.”
