The short version

  • Only Arnica has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Arnica per-identity pricing ($25-$50/person/year) requires tracking active developers; Everlaw quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance
  • They diverge on capability: Arnica covers AI SAST, Everlaw covers Document processing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 29 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Arnica

  • Per-identity pricing ($25-$50/person/year) requires tracking active developers
  • Overage identity tracking via 90-day PR activity can be unpredictable
  • Free plan limited to weekly updates, requiring upgrade for real-time scanning
  • Advanced add-ons (Image Scanning, AI SAST, Agentic Rules Enforcer) pricing not published
  • On-premises deployment limited to Enterprise tier

Everlaw

  • Quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance
  • Specialist product: outside litigation and investigations there is no use for it
  • Predictive coding requires a properly trained review workflow, and poor input produces unreliable prioritisation
  • Data volume charges can escalate sharply on large matters

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Arnica: How are identities defined in Arnica pricing?

Identities are any users and other contributing entities that contributed code and/or had PR activity during the last 90 days. This ensures billing matches active developers.

Source
Everlaw: What does Everlaw cost?

Everlaw does not publish rates. Ediscovery is generally priced on data volume and users, which is why costs are quoted per matter or per organisation.

Arnica: What is the annual discount?

Annual prepayment offers approximately 17% savings versus monthly billing. Core Business annual is $300/identity versus $360 for monthly.

Source
Everlaw: What is ediscovery?

The process of identifying, collecting and reviewing electronic documents as evidence in litigation or investigation.

Arnica: Can I cancel or downgrade Arnica anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled or downgraded at any time. Overage identities receive automatic protection with true-up invoicing.

Source
Everlaw: What is predictive coding?

Machine learning trained on reviewer decisions to prioritise documents likely to be relevant, so a team reviews the important fraction rather than everything.
